When Mitt put his hand on Perry’s shoulder I thought Perry was going to throw a punch. The look on his face was not that of a happy camper.
My estimation of Perry would have gone up several notches had he done that. He would have been out of the race for that but still..........
P.S. That was a cowardly move on Romney’s part, he knew that Perry was too much of a gentleman to do anything about it but grin and bear it, so he made his symbolic touch, asserting his “manliness”.
The great F.R. thinker JimRob once said of Romney that he’s not even a man, I’m in full agreement.
