I have to break it to NewsMax, Gov Rick Perry is the one rattling Romney.

That's -- I'm running for office, for Pete's sake, I can't have illegals. [video clip] -- Mitt Romney, GOP presidential debate - October 18, 2011 - Las Vegas, NV

Mitt Romney Offers Rick Perry $10,000 Bet: ABC News/Yahoo News Republican Debate [video clip] Dec 10, 2011 -- Iowa

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Romney, circa 2002: "My views are progressive."

[IM2MAD]

I think the bet showed poor judgement and showboating.

[PalmettoMason]

Newt rattled Romney right from the start with his comment concerning Romney’s reason for staying in the private sector.
Romney was off balance from that moment on.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I don’t think this matters much. Romney’s imploding in the polls in Iowa and he’s in a freefall in polls in New Hampshire. He’ll be gone in about a month from now.

[McLynnan]

Too bad they didn’t give credit where credit is due. When given the opportunity Perry consistently yanks Romney’s chain.

[Diogenesis]

The ineligible Mitt 'Hussein' Romney:
"I bet you $10,000 that you did not even know
that I and Bain made money from the 911 Victory Mosque land sale."

---

---

"(The GroundZero Mosque) cleared its final hurdle ….
developers plan to build the $100 million center which will include a mosque.
Since its incipient stages in July 2009, when a Muslim-run real-estate development
company purchased the damaged, vacant building and land where the new center
will be built, the project has sparked controversy and debate.
.... the tattered building that was bought by the Muslim real estate company had
been owned by a subsidiary of Bain Capital, a company Romney founded in 1984.
So it’s OK if his company can profit off the sale of the land ."

---

“Bain Capital, has cut checks totaling $90,000 to Romney’s operation. “

JMHO - All of the GOP candidates are superior to Obama - but it will not matter. Obama and the Dems will allow the economy’s continued deterioration to encourage more blue-collar & middle-class workers becoming dependent on unemployment benefits & even food stamps.

These are the voters who, out of fear and self-interest, will opt for continued government programs. Those people who, over their working years, have paid $millions in income tax will want some return on their ‘investment’ even if it’s only a few thousand in unemployment benefits. It’s their money and they are also entitled.

On the razor edge of chaos - people choose the status quo as a safety zone.

Obama doesn’t care - if the economy improves - he gets bragging rights - if the economy worsens - he blames the GOP.

That bet showed he was backed into a corner and it was childish. It reminded me of a kid on the playground betting a million dollars...
