Last month, Insider Advantage had him leading Romney in the state 29/20. A month later, “He now barely has a heartbeat.”
When I saw Perry’s topline number of three percent, I figured the “Ponzi scheme” talk must have sent Florida’s seniors running screaming into the night. Not so. He’s actually doing (marginally) worse with other age demographics in this poll, and in the last poll he did reasonably well with the 65+ crowd, finishing second to Romney in that group with almost 23 percent. That poll was taken on September 13, which was almost a week after Romney started attacking him on Social Security, so if entitlement chatter is what’s driving this, you would have expected to see some of that show up in last month’s data. What’s killing him here, I assume, is the same thing that’s killing him everywhere — his crack about the base’s “heartlessness” on immigration plus general disappointment that the anointed Romney-killer in the race has ended up making Romney look better and better with his debate performances thus far.

I’m a heartless bitter clinger for Cain. I am also not offended by his electrified fence “joke”.
Im registered to vote in Florida...live here most of the time. Perry has lost it due to his inability to understand anything outside of Texas. I think he is a good man and would have voted for him but not in the primary. At this time it looks like my vote will go to Cain.
Might be time to get off the sinking boat..maybe catch the train?

Perry swallowed a heartless cyanide pill on immigration and he is done.
Let other candidates beware when they touch on this subject.
They are suffering Perry-done-itis. They are in shock because he cooked his own goose!
I love Bachmann and Santorum. They both excelled in the debates and were eviserated by the Perry winkles. Perry failed because he was up to his neck in hubris.
Okay how is it Cain has zero percent in the youung adult vote.
no way. Something is wrong.

Yep! Perry winkle people are the worst type of person. They will destroy true conservatives to advance a liberal like Perry.....THANK GOD THEY DID NOT GET AWAY WITH IT!!!!
I like Bachmann and Santorun also. It’s a shame their campaigns never really got off the ground.
Yep ... I hope Hermain Cain’s joke was about a 480 volt electric fence, NOT a Juan McCain 12-volt battery-operated kitten barrier ...
There are a few descent Perry supporters; I know several. They’ve been respectful to me and I have been in return.
Well, at least Bachmann has a good, important job to go back to. Santorum will take up his position as Bill Bennett’s Friday substitute. He’s lovely on the radio and always has a movie quiz which I enjoy. He seems like a really good guy.
