If either or both Christie and Palin get in, Romney is a lock, because conservative votes will be split — same as the way McCain got the nomination.
And if Romney is a lock, so is Obama.
Brilliant strategy on the part of conservative and selfish on the part of conservatives.
If conservatives would support Perry, who IS the most electable conservative, he could get the nomination and beat Obama — but no, we have to have a handful of conservatives splitting the vote, so Romney can win.

Everything you wrote is spot on true.
But..it is also true that Perry caused this himself. You or I could have outperformed him last week. Why didn’t he prep? Or why did he prep poorly? We don’t know; we just see the result, and now this.
It could also be pointed out that he has acted selfishly by performing poorly.
I suppose the problem of all this is that you don’t became a Governor and still have self-reflection skills remain intact. You have to believe in your own Teflon, and disregard all evidence to the contrary. Because that is what Perry showed the other night. He showed that he thought he didn’t have to prepare and that it doesn’t matter.
Alas.
(GOP: just give us someone to beat obama.....).
