More money will start shifting to Perry now.
Romney wears magic underpants.
Perry is pro-life, pro-gun, pro-jobs and pro-God.
I have never heard of Perry wearing any magic underpants.
YES!!!!
The Democrats sure seem to think so. They are usually pretty right in who they work hardest to destroy.
My first pick is Sarah, but would happily pull the lever Perry if he's the candidate. If Mittens slimes his way in...well, let's just not go there right now.
I think Perry would win a higher popular vote total, but I think Romney may put another state or two in play that Perry may struggle in, PA and MI perhaps.
I think either would beat Obama, which is why it is important to make sure we nominate the more conservative candidate.
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.
Was Obama more electable than Hillary?
of course.
romney still cannot spin himself out of romneycare.
Facing a terrible and deteriorating economy and falling approval ratings, President Obama has only one strategic choice: Use his massive financial advantage to go negative -- to make centrist voters fear or hate the Republican nominee.
This would be harder to do against Romney than Perry, so in the end, I think Romney would have a somewhat better chance of winning states like Michigan, PA, WI, MN, NJ, or anywhere in the Northeast...
Perry, OTOH, for several reasons (including those not as popular on FR) would perform strongly enough among Hispanics compared to Romney, that most of the western states that went Blue would go GOP again in '12, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico, and performs better the South overall, putting VA and NC back in the GOP column (although Romney probably performs better in N VA, Perry would motivate the "real" Virginia to the polls better, and make it a wash or net benefit).
They took their best shots at Perry and he is still standing.
The R establishment needs to ask if Mittens can carry Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio. It would be a close run thing.
Perry will take Florida too.
Good points.
As I said above, I think Perry would win a larger % of the popular vote, but Romney may pick up an extra state or two in the Midwest.
Either will beat Obama.

I think so.
I could vote for Perry and probably not feel the need to wear more than one or two bags over my head when I went to the polls.
I’d need to start saving grocery bags TODAY if I wanted to have enough to wear on my cranium to go vote for Romney in 2012.
But are either of them more electable than Palin?
Just wait till the time comes when the three of them have to sit down together in debate.
But, if the election was TODAY, instead of 14 months from now, the answer is "yes."
