That would be pretty pathetic if somebody surged on account of comparing themselves to a football player.
What an insult to Tim Tebow.
Unfortunately, he ran to the dressing room, looked in the mirror and saw Oops the Texas Door Stop was still staring back at him
“There are a lot of folks that said Tim Tebow wasn't going to be a very good NFL quarterback. There are people that stood up and said, 'Well, he doesn't have the right throwing mechanisms, or he's not playing the game right,' " Perry said. “And he won two national championships, and that looked pretty good. We were the national champions in job creation back in Texas. And so, am I ready for the next level? Let me tell you, I hope I am the Tim Tebow of the Iowa caucuses.”
He had a pretty darn good debate, but a few big gaffes, too.
Stating that the Monroe Doctrine was used against Cubs in the 1960s? What?
The embassy quote was very confusing if you didn’t go back and re-listen. Not all that bad, though.
The U.S. should be building Mexico? Ugh.
Also, we get the point, Rick (Tebow comment): Perry is absolutely, positively the biggest, mostest Christianest candidate in the race, so help him, Jesus!
Still, he had an otherwise good night. Good job, Rick.
This was just as bad on his part as the the Texas Handshake Marriage Vows ploy
It was actually a pretty sensible thing for Perry to say.
I like it best when Perry stands next to Romney, and Mitt goes all bonkers about the book thing... I hope it happens again.
Which one is Joe Theismann?
This was definately his best debate. More relaxed and genuine.
An Iowa radio host said on the air that Santorum was the Republican’s Tebow. Perry stole the comment and made it about himself.
...you know, there are a lot of folks that said Tim Tebow wasn’t going to be a very good NFL quarterback,” said the Texas Republican. “And, you know, he won two national championships. And that looked pretty good. We’re the national champions in job creation back in Texas. And so — but am I ready for the next level?”
“Let me tell you, I hope I am the Tim Tebow of the Iowa Caucuses,” added Mr. Perry.
The line, which received a standing applause, came within the first minutes of Thursday night’s debate.

How pathetic is this?
Tim Tebow? We need Aaron Rodgers.
If praying in now called “Tebowing,” can now call call crashing and burning “Perrying?”
Tebow scored 22 on the Wonderic, below average for NFL QB’s. Perry
Would be sweating to break 20.
And that sentence captures the entire reason for the "article".
No he didn't. Is this author an idiot or a liar?
You don’t have the arm for it, Rick.
I hear Perry did really well last night...we’ll see if it gives him a bump.
