I don’t think the media will latch on to this too much. It’s simply a forgetful moment. Cain’s controversy involves SEX and that’s more interesting to the media.

And I thought debate 3 was bad for him.

Perry -
“I think Americans just don’t know sometimes which Mitt Romney they’re dealing with. Is it the Mitt Romney that was on the side of — against the Second Amendment before he was for the Second Amendment? Was it — was before — he was before the social programs from the standpoint of — he was for standing up for Roe versus Wade before he was against first — Roe versus Wade? Him — he was for Race to the Top. He’s for Obamacare and now he’s against it. I mean, we’ll wait until tomorrow and — and — and see which Mitt Romney we’re really talking to tonight.”

I did not say the MSM would leave Cain alone forever.
But Perry has just provided them FRESH Blood. And Sharks go where the fresh blood is. Perry will be the meal of the week for the next week.

I am a trial lawyer and know when a jury is guffawing at the lawyer. He’s toast. Damn shame.

Perry is toast and he will be back at the $10,000.00 a month rental house that the Tax Payers of Texas provide for him before Christmas.

Come home to Texas, Rick. You’ve still got a job here.

So, Ricky Peron is finished again? I'm stuned, what will the hot flashing, swooning Perry lovers do now that their dream boy has committed ritual campaign suicide? Will the love postings to Ricky continue?

What will Ricardo do with the mountain of cash that so many SMUCKS gave to this POS?

Any bets he will donate and back the piece of Mitt campaign?

Plus, Cain's the frontrunner.

That's what the DNC media lapdogs go after.

Alice, you can wonder all you want to, but this hack Perry is finished. I’ve been watching politics for 50 years and this is as about as bad as it gets.

This is worse than Ford’s forgetting that Poland was a soviet satellite.

He may or may not be conservative, but he’s certainly not qualified now or in the future to be the President of the United States.

Obama has made far worse gaffes.

Not in a televised campaign debate.

It's one thing to mis-speak when you're on the road and surrounded by a gaggle of reporters asking off the cuff questions. I don't know any candidate who hasn't committed a gaffe under those circumstances.

But in a live debate, which you've no doubt spent considerable time preparing for? Disastrous. Even more-so, considering that he's goofed like this several times already in the debates.

Perry is a good communicator in interviews and speeches, not just this type of sound bite format.

I agree.

A lapse in an otherwise very good debate performance. He can’t be counted out.

Don't know if you noticed, but Perry has gone from 30% in the polls, to 8% during the time these debates have been going on.

I don't know what sort of miracle you're counting on, but it's highly unlikely that Perry is going to recover the sort of numbers he started out with, with performances like these.

The man simply cannot think on his feet, which is a vital skill for a world leader.

Between Perry and now Cain...BOTH OF WHOM I WAS ENTUSIASTIC...I am tuning out the primaries.

I cannot stand to see the slow moving train wreck that is the conservative movement.

I'll tune back i when it’s time to vote for ROMNEY.

I'll take my pleasure in seeing BO stomped into oblivion.

Sigh. Are there any declared candidates out there that aren’t damaged goods in some way?

This might be a good time for Sarah to reconsider.

You are right....The real Perry will be evident in who he endorses after he leaves. Bet you big money that will be Mitt.

Given who he supported in 2008, I’d say he’ll back Huntsman.
