Rick Perry confronts Politico's Mike Allen in person over the publication's report that unnamed members of his senior staff are blaming the way the campaign was handled for what has resulted thus far. Transcript of the exchange below:

Mike Allen, Politico: "Governor, some of your staffers have told us that you ran this as a gubernatorial campaign for too long and you didn't look big enough, get big enough, fast enough. Do you take some responsibility?"

Gov. Rick Perry: "I don't know who you are talking to, so I can't respond unless you give me a name."

Allen: "These are members of your staff."

Perry: "You got a name?"

Oh, just dayum!

I really, really, REALLY would like to see those guys on the same stage.

Since Perry’s recovered from his surgery and off the pain meds...he’s back on his game.

Obama’d be intimidated before he ever got on the stage. He does NOT want that to happen.

Any job gains he’s got to talk about would disappear without Perry and Texas. He couldn’t even bring it up without risking Perry saying, “...And without Texas you’d be down another million or so...”

Oh man...

Journos don’t like to be called, they like to control and set the agenda. It’s too bad there aren’t more GOP’ers, good ones or RINOs who won’t do like Perry did. I’ll swear, if I had the resources, I would investigate all these MSM’ers and publish the findings of their sordid backgrounds, their journo-political incestuousness, and other perversions so that the entire world would know of their polluted souls.

I love the in-your-face Rick Perry just as I loved “wanted dead or alive” Bush. Bush had that cowboy personality. Trying to temper it was a mistake.

Sweet. They need to take it a step farther.

If you don’t give me a name I’m just going to have to assume you are lying and that there is no such person.

Oh, this offends you? Prove that I’m wrong.

Once again, Perry fights back. I’m liking him more and more, and could totally support his candidacy. I want him to get the nomination. think he’s the best of the current bumper crop running.

The same goes for the often repeated, "citics say"

What critics? ...You and your sorry rag or so-called news organization?
