I believe that bitty-bite comment was directed to me and not to BSF.
That's okay, I've found when Perry is doing well I get a lot of that -- it's a good barometer.
Not really.
Every candidate seems to have their die-hard "worshipers". Cain had a LOT of them. Glenn Beck claims to be a Bachmann supporter, but spends all of his time bashing Newt, rather than giving reasons to vote FOR his candidate. Romney's supporters in the establishment idolize him (Krauthammer, Rove, etc)
We're all guilty to some degree. It's human nature. I just hope everybody will grow up once a nominee is chosen.
