I expected Perry to fumble tonight, simple from fatigue and the distractions he’s had to deal with in our scorched state.

He did better than I expected.

He’s a cool customer. Probably crooked, too. Don’t much like him, but maybe we need a tough guy to take on the thugs.

“He’s a cool customer.”

Yeah, boy. Not sure about him yet, but he plants his feet and stands. Cowboy boots and all.

I think so. A "get along guy" like McCain will cost us the election, because you can bet that Obama and his brigade of thugs will not play by the rules. I think Newt and Perry were the only two on that stage possessed of that much-needed grit.
