Romney needs Bachmann in there to help him beat up on Perry. It's like a demolition derby. I'm not sure if these attacks will strengthen Perry for the run against Zero or weaken him.
If this $5,000 from Merck is the best example they can come up to use against Perry as being a "crony capitalist", then he's pretty squeaky clean.
AMEN!!
I don’t think anything was overdone. For the first time the candidates debated the Gardasil issue with passion and let the lines be drawn. I found it refreshingly candid. Perry’s explanation last night fell short of his previous comments on the issue. HE fell down. Whoever prepared him for last night did an awful job right along with Perry...alas, that is just one issue and he appears contrite on it.
Best debate so far. Loved the TEA Party questions.
I thought that until last night. Michelle took some shots a Romney that no ally would.
We don't need another politician that would mandate inoculations of young girls that benefits one of his contributors. Especially abusing an executive order to do so.
Perry did not please the Tea Party on the Gardisil issue or on immigration.
That was the result of his own policy and had nothing to do with Bachmann or Palin. They didn’t make him do it.
That is why when we are choosing people for the nominee, we need to make sure that they have as little bad policy baggage possible. That also is a problem, a big one, for Romney.
Don’t fool yourself into the idea the dems won’t zero in on Perry over these issues.
