RE :”Right. They are all meatheads to some extent or another. Romney being a rock head. I think Cain is easily defeated on 999. The economy is the central issue.
Perry is less than perfect, but he does have an economic track record in one of the largest states and he does understand exactly how the feds sink state and local economies

I had a feeling Perry is what you were really getting at.

I am not convinced that Perry is anymore electable than Cain, look at his recent performance. He thought Republicans would sympathize with him when he called the others heartless over Dream Act. He doesn't even know enough to have a national plan ready to propose and debate.

Perry's brother GWB got reelected with a huge give-away to seniors : medicare drugs as with No-Child-Left-behind but it didnt keep voters happy for long.

I would give Perry a second look if he gives a public ‘read my lips’ speech promising no ‘path to legalization’ for anyone illegally in this country under any circumstances.

Perry already shot himself in the face, the damage is done. Romney pounded on him (I hate Romney for the record) and if Romney is scoring points at Perry's expense, then what does that tell you about Perry...

You have no basis for saying I posted this reality check on Cain for Perry. I have ripped Perry on his vaccine and illegal alien crap on this forum, too.

All of them have pros and cons. We do ourselves no favors sticking our heads in the sand for any of them. Playing a rah rah echo chamber is how conservatives get caught with our pants down in elections.

Just to set the record straight, Bush and Perry are not best friends. Rove hates Perry. Perry hates Federal education mandates.
