I suspect that figure would hold throughout the nation. The campaigns all have a long way to go. Much will change as time goes by. I may lean to Perry but I am watching the whole field.
Debating skill is an attribute well down on my priority list. We have an incompetent president now who is a well skilled debater. It is background and experience that will tell how he/she will manage the nation and what policies and integrity to expect.
Exactly. And I will point out that Romney has been giving talks for 6 years about being president. Cain is a minister, and a radio talk show host. Bachmann is a lawyer and a legislator who uses words for a living. Newt is a former teacher and Speaker of the House. Then have all of them direct their ire at Perry during the debates and in comments to the MSM (throw in the rest of the field and it easy to see what’s going on). So if Perry doesn’t come across as the best debater, I’d like to know how that changes how he will govern.
