Perry's slide in the polls resulted in Romney being back in the lead. I didn't know there were so many Romney supporters on FR, but that must be it, why else would FReepers practically "dance on the street" being so happy about it.

Perry ping

[Perdogg]

There are some Freepers who are Mahdi Republicans who want GOPers to lose so that the “Hidden One” can reveal himself or herself after 0bama spends 8 years destroying the country.

[TexasFreeper2009]

because they are opperating under the delusion that a candidate with no record, no experience, no money, and no organization can beat Romney.

lol

Perry was our only hope the stop Romney.

Liberals will have to go down one at a time. It seems it’s starting with Perry.

The Cain Surge is Good News for Romney

http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2011/10/04/the_cain_surge_is_good_news_for_romney.html

” This is actually Romney’s ideal situation, with underfunded niche candidates fighting for the conservative vote, and his best-funded credible opponent cratering but still taking double digits. Moreover, Cain is clearly more inclined to send his supporters over to Romney than he is to send them over to any other candidate. How do we know? Cain endorsed Romney in 2008, for one (it was the thing to do in those anti-McCain months), and he’s been notably harsher on Perry than he’s been on Romney.”

You know what is said about Perry when he is down, don’t you?

Romney Takes First, Perry... for Second

With the playoffs now underway, its like Perry strikes out, and Romney takes first on the walk.

[rjsclassics]

ikes they’re picking our canidate after all. 2012, McCain light

[dps.inspect]

Quick, lets put together a poll that will lead the person answering the poll to chose Romney before Cain gets too much more traction...

[RetiredArmy]

The RINOs better find someone else but Romenyfool cause I REFUSE, R-E-F-U-S-E, REFUSE to vote for him. I will not do it and nobody in my family will. He can count about 25 votes around this area GONE, cause we won’t vote for another McCain RINOcrat.

Message to Perry:

[Wuli]

The numbers still make it clear that among all the candidates, no one has an outright majority and the meaning of any “leader” at this point, Perry one week and Romney the next, is, in the absence of any majority, outweighed by the fact that more people are, collectively, in favor of someone other than the “leader”.

I think Romney will not be the beneficiary of a tightening race; that the votes of those who “get out of the race”, whether its Huntsman, Cain, Perry or anyone, will go mostly NOT to Romney - leaving him with the loyal but minority base he has.

That’s just my opinion and watchword - that it is still very early and these early polls have less importance than those who publish them want us to give them.

[MNJohnnie]

Because Milt Perry and Rick Romney are merely different faces of the same GOP Establishment coin.

Perry is the "compassionate conservative" face ala both GW Bushes while Romney is the GOP Liberal face ala Bob Dole/John McCain.

The Conservative base of the GOP is tired of being told to vote for the Democrat Lite business as usual Establishment candidate.

They want real Leadership from the GOP, not empty suit Democrat Lite echos.

[jwalsh07]

Predictable and inevitable after Perry's rain-man imitation at the last debate coupled with a good performance by Cain in the same debate.
