“Kind of like their chickens are starting to come home to roost you mean.”
Despite the ardent support of fans here on FR, Perry can’t seem to rise above the ~10% polling support he enjoys now. (look at the polling data posts here on FR...he isn’t even mentioned in the banner line) I’d say, as a candidate, he is in the same position as Romney in 2008. I’d look for his withdrawal sometime in early 2012....his viability/popularity as a candidate just isn’t there in the national conscienceness for whatever/varied reasons....... JMHO
It has been running a tad bit lower more often than not in the past few weeks. Actually for a marginally moderate Republican he might have done better if he had woke up and paid attention to the issues of concern to those in his targeted base. I mean like, when 78-82% of the nation has voiced some form of support for reducing the illegal alien population and closing the border by using different methods Perry jumps right out there and sticks his finger in the collective eye of the nation. That was his worst screw up IMO and it has been downhill ever since.
He then struck out with the Grey Panther brigade with his maybe technically correct description but poorly chosen words attacking SS when such a very large percentage of working Americans reaching retirement age and counting on SS being there for them. Perry has continually failed to take the pulse of the nation before stepping out and tripping all over his manhood.
It would seem to me that he should have fired his campaign advisers as they seem to be a bunch of high school rookies without a hint of knowledge running a Presidential campaign. I'm afraid he has finally just done himself in and may make it to primary day but I rather doubt it. Future candidates should study Perry's campaign to learn from all his mistakes and they are numerous and still mounting.
