I completely disagree, Perry could refuse to do anymore debates and still win this thing over Romney walking away. And make no mistake this is between Perry and Romney, there is no other choice.
You can't be serious. If Perry refused to do anymore debates he'd be laughed off the campaign trail. I've been calling this a two man race between Perry and Romney for quite some time and imo it remains that for the time being. Nothing new. But the level of unpreparedness that we witnessed from Perry last night has to concern all his supporters and defenders. Perry did good in the msnbc debate and okay in the cnn debate. While Perry had some good moments, overall last night was one of the worst debate performances I've ever seen.
In the first debate in 1984 between Reagan and Mondale, Reagan gave his poorest performance in a debate ever. He recovered and went on to beat Mondale in the second debate and trounce him in the general election. Perry can improve. Its not over, but lets not ignore what we watched on stage last night. A stumbling, bumbling Rick Perry. It was Perry's night to take it to Romney but he failed.
lol! You have now crossed over into the land of make believe!
Perry could refuse to any more debates? Like he did in Texas?
Good luck with that.
Also while only about %1.5 watch these debates as you said, the republican portion of the 1/3 of all voters who will watch the Presidential debates are cringing at the idea of Perry being their representative there.
