The Case for Buying Low on Perry

One misconception is that Mr. Perry’s standing had been declining in primary polls prior to Thursday evening. This simply isn’t the case, at least not to any degree of statistical significance.

It's seems Perry 's political obituary was written a little to soon.

Buying low? Didn’t he tell Bachmann that he was insulted by the suggestion that he could be bought on the cheap?

It's too bad that 70% of Romneycare recipients are illegal aliens!

lol

I don't think Romney has a leg to stand on.

[NEPAConservative]

2 RINO’S, I WONT VOTE FOR EITHER. IF THEY ARE NOMINATED I WILL QUIT THE GOP!

[TexasFreeper2009]

I know anyone who doesn't agree with you one 100% on every issue is a RINO

Rush Limbaugh
Ann Coulter
Bush
Cheney
Savage
Hanity
ect ect..

but could you at least spend maybe... HALF as much time bashing Romney as you do Perry? that's all I am asking.

[Hugin]

Can I short sell Ron Paul?

[9YearLurker]

And 70% of illegals are on welfare in TX as well, as I recall.

A pox on both of them—we can do better than either of the two, though the media wants to push us into taking one or the other.

IF THEY ARE NOMINATED I WILL QUIT THE GOP!

I can't even fathom the consequences of that.

[CSI007]

Boy, you establishment republican lovers are out in full force this morning trying to prop this lame candidate up.

His debate performance has not gone unnoticed despite your efforts.

Signed,
Another heartless conservative

[shield]

You need to go ahead and prepare that resignation letter...cause it will one or the other...

[TexasFreeper2009]

your lack of attacks on Romney has not gone unnoticed either.

[chris37]

I was certainly looking at voting for him.

Now, I’m not.

I imagine there’s more like me.

[Right Brother]

Read my post again. I was poking fun at NEPAConservative.

[trisham]

LOL!

You are missing the point.

Many of us were supporting Perry knowing full well he was soft on immigration. We were willing to look past some of his not so conservative stances. But when you call 80% of Americans "heartless" for not supporting in-state tuition for illegals, you lost it.

That's the point. Not that he's not pure 100% conservative.

[ConservativeDude]

It is true that he has not declined so far.

It is also true that next week is not here yet; and that the impact of the debate is not registered.

If next week shows steady, or rising, then the debate fall out is minimal.

I don’t anticipate that, however, as the press coverage on the debate meltdown is continual.

[TexasFreeper2009]

you assume most people actually watch political news coverage :)

[ConservativeDude]

This article is a decent piece of analysis, though.

IF Christy announces next week, and Palin also announces in that same timeframe...both of which I think are big question marks and both of which I think were made more likely because of Perry’s debate, but if those two things happen, then, this is a rather interesting primary.

(Alas, the more chaos there is, the more it helps a candidate who has money, message discipline [on the campaign trail] and passable retail skills. The only candidate with all of that currently is Romney....)
