I’m not going to be making the Perry or Palin camps happy tonight.
1. Perry was horrible...he looked confused and should just apologize and agree to build the fence and his tuition subsidy was wrong.
He is going to plummet big in the next week or two of polls.
2. Palin...She is miscalculating thinking she can come in extra late...Romney is going to solidify the “scared shitless of Obama 4 more” crowd...and once they commit - that is it.
She needs to get in very soon, actually a week from now would be PERFECT...as it would take advantage of Perry plummeting.
In Summary, Romney has a clear path to the WH now and I suspect he will be the big front runner again, next phase of polling.
The TEA party movement is way too big at this point and WILL NOT have anything to do with Romney. Palin's entry will be right on schedule as Perry simply imploded tonight. IMHO
“Once they commit - that’s it”
Actually, voters are SUPPOSED to make up their minds based on the campaign in September and October - next year.
Events are going to determine the votes on November 6, 2012 - events that haven’t happened yet. If Sarah is able to make the case that she should be elected, she has a whole year before she has to start.
