This leaves us with the following questions about his candidacy: can Perry replicate this performance in the coming months, most importantly, in upcoming debates? And even if he does drastically improve as a candidate, has he already dug himself too deep of a hole to recover? A Des Moines Register poll taken this morning shows Cain at 23 percent, Romney at 22 percent and Perry in fifth place with just 7 percent.

I'd have to say that no one dedicates this much time, effort, and money on a 'back of the pack' nobody. No one does.

That so many have dedicated so much against a so-called 'has-been' shows that he is nothing of the sort.

I agree with you. I have been surprised by the fixation on a candidate who is supposedly “toast”.
