The five reasons I asserted that Governor Perry would have the best shot at beating Obama were simple ones: He decisively created more jobs than Obama. He greatly respects and tries to encourage small businesses. He has a clear understanding of federalism and what states shouldn't be forced into. He has solid core convictions that replicate most of America. And he could unite the core conservative Democrats, Republicans and Independents across the nation on economic, social and defense policy.
All five of those reasons remain -- even now -- solidly relevant and valid.
However, he's certainly nowhere near where I thought he'd be by now. But before all the pundits completely write him off, let me proffer the four things he's got to do to get back in the game.

I thought we were talking about jobs?
(With three chicken soft tacos and a bean burrito to go, please!) ;-)
He’s only sleeping
WHY ?
Some say that all Perry ever created is fast food jobs and jobs for illegals.( which is BS, Tx is a high tech magnet)
Apparently Cain couldn’t even do that.
He cut Jose loose for the bottom line.
;)
Now do a Cain pic with “defined benefits? Oops”
And Gingrich, “I got yerback, wink”
Yeah, Texas is busy stealing all of Caifornia’s taco stuffer jobs, since we dolts haven’t figured it out yet /s
LoL!
I am certain he is a smart and capable governor. He managed to get people to donate a fortune to his campaign. He has a bunch of devoted followers. He has choked because he wants so much to perform perfectly for all of these people. But he is sabotaging himself.
Mr. Cain seems to have a totally different motivation. He seems to excel when challenged. With all the crap that has been thrown his way in the past couple of weeks it still looks like he is having fun. You would think that he would pull back a bit, but he has been doing more interviews, speeches, and events than any of the other candidates. And he looks energized and motivated at every appearance. He seems to have the energy of a man half his age. One of the reasons that he continues to climb in the polls is that he is working harder than any of the other candidates.
Ding-Ding-Ding! A Winner! :o)
Yup.
"You're not fooling anyone y'know"
