================================
BACKSTORY---when Perry went for the presidency, he and his Texas cronies projected an air of supreme self-assurance and indifference to outside advice.....Perry never even entered the first Iowa go-round-----and stomped allover Bachmann's hard-won victory, announcing his candidacy on the same day she won. Perry was posing for pics, acting like he had won Iowa, with 700 write-ins.
However, when sinking polls and losses forced him to regroup, Perry's hastily assembled new team found: Perry's 2012 campaign was mounted like Perry's state campaigns: (1) raise a bunch of money, (2) don’t worry about the [media coverage], (3) don’t worry about debates, (4) buy the race on TV.
The new team was not sympathetic: "You have to be a total rube to think a race for president is the same as a state race for governor. There has never been a more ineptly orchestrated, just unbelievably subpar campaign for president of the United States than this one."
Perryland- where excuses, blame and whine abound.
