Nah, I don't think she's Mitten smitten. She's from Texas and shilling for Perry. Rather than pump up her guy, who's losing steam, she feels the need to take down the guy she perceives as having taken her guy down.
Cain didn't take Perry down. Perry did that on his own.
Perrys’ supporters went to Cain after his third abysmal debate. This was natural progression. Just like if Cain implodes, most of his support will move to another (Gingrich for me) candidate.
The trick is to not get emotionally attached to these politicians.
You make a lot of sense.
