You may not realize it, but we are electing a President of the USA, NOT a “Debater-in-Chief”.
No we do not want a masterdebator as president. We alrady have one of those now.
Herman Cain now has a chance, and if he pulls ahead , he will need cash fast. Cain hasn’t much money.
Then WHY are you touting this stupid, stupid article as if it was a badge of honor for perry at the ....gasp....debate?
But the debates, especially when we get to the general election are one of the key ways we get to know about the people running. Not everyone gets to go to rallies & people don’t always pay attention to commercials but the debates are shown in enough different outlets that whether watching it live or news about it they do get a sense of who these people are.
We aren’t electing a debater in chief but the majority of people aren’t going think about that. And it does illustrate how well a person “thinks on his feet”. We already know we have one incompetent president and Perry’s debate performances don’t make him look intelligent. I’m not saying he isn’t smart but that he looks as if he is in the debates. This nomination is very important and there’s no reason everyone has to choose yet. Remember, the candidates are supposed to earn our votes. People do not have to think Perry is the best if he hasn’t impressed them. If a candidate can’t impress the diehard political junkies who pay attention to these things how is he/she going to impress the general public. Perry has a long way to go to be ready for prime time.
