Well stated.

I agree our top priority should be to defeat Obama.

I have serious doubts about Perry's ability to win against Obama. There are too many things the media can twist (unfairly) such as parallels to Bush and his grades at a time when the economy is top priority. He lacks charisma. During the debates Bachmann did great, also Romney was good and Paul came across as a strong person. The image projected is what too often counts with the voters.

RINO Perry is afraid of something. women?

Jealous, misogynist RINO Governors Attempt to Silence Gov. Palin
"GOP Governors Pull the Plug On Palin's Press Conference
The Republican Governors Conference Press Guidelines promised
that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin would “take approximately
20 minutes of questions” at today’s morning press conference.
Instead, this press conference, attended by 150 local and national media
and taped by 26 video cameras, disintegrated into a fiasco
when Texas Governor Rick Perry shut it down after
only five minutes and four questions."

"Eight other governors assembled on the stage, all men, seemed
visibly uncomfortable with the “Palin at center stage” format.
When Perry stepped in front of Palin at the podium to announce
it was over just as it was getting started, Palin looked irritated,
and the media shouted, “You’ve got to be kidding,”
“This is ridiculous,” "Come on,” and
“We were promised more questions.”
