Perry’s instincts are COMPASSIONATE. Whatever his views and positions are they would be disastrously modified by his “compassion” in office.
The reason I think Cain has the best chance to knock out Romney and Obama is based on his recent MASTERFUL TV appearances on Leno, and The View. He’s got what it takes to handle a hostile media, and come through as both impressive, commanding, and lovable.
I fear Perry would be a stumbling embarrassment in debates like pretty much every GOP nominee (to various degrees) since there have been debates.
Watch how Cain handles the harpies on the View.

He is as smooth and calm as Clinton at his best, but with character and conservative principles.
...impressive, commanding, and lovable.
“BINGO”
