Other than THAT, he’s a die hard conservative.... ; )

"I want to see Romney come in 4th in Iowa"

There's still time. I'm hoping Romney drops to at least 5th.

OMG I think I’m going to have to pay my wager with JimRob.

Romney's had five years to win Iowa and he's in 4th place!

Not an insignificant point.

[Psalm 144]

“I want to see Romney come in 4th in Iowa JUST to enjoy the talking heads sitting in a circle explaining how they got it so wrong!”

It will just be another shopworn reiteration of how knuckledraggers in flyover country cannot understand the awesomeness of Northeastern elitists.

>>>>>Perry is gaining momentum ...

Woohoo!

Poll: Front-runner Newt Gingrich's lead in early-voting Iowa has evaporated

[varina davis]

Whoo Hoo for Rick Perry. The polls will continue to climb for him .

[jersey117]

Great news for Perry. He better watch out for incoming from the tax attorney/foster mom.

Which specific points in the letter do you disagree with?

I hope you agree with most all of the letter, because most all of it makes a lot of sense.

Note: I am not a Paul supporter, but I do try to understand everyone’s point of view. His stances on the issues, are of course, the most intellectually honest and principled of any candidate we have ever seen. He does extend his belief in extremely limited government to limited foreign intervention, which is logically consistent, but maybe unrealistic in today’s world.

Nobody’s gonna break-a his stride,
Nobody’s gonna slow him down.
He’s gonna keep on moving’.

Let’s go Perry! He sounded good on Hannity. It’s really hard to sound good on Hannity.

[smoothsailing]

Looks like he peaked sometime before the last debate and has been losing support since.

Boy howdy, Channel 8 News in Dallas is not going to like this development. They have a nightly Perry smear report at 5 and 6pm.

"Well, more bad news for Governor Perry. Yes, that's right. He thinks McDonalds is a farm. Its actually a fast-food restaurant. Let's go to reporter Brad Watson for the horrible news on Perry tonight!"

"Brad?"

Paul takes a big chunk of the Indy's in this poll. It doesn't make sense to me to have Dems and Indy's in a Republican poll but they do. If you look at the Republican #’s only, Perry moves into second although a distant one.

[sissyjane]

Ron Paul’s supporters will all be on Winter break from school, and at home...

Looks like it, doesn’t it? There are those in Iowa that want nothing to do with Newt and are alerting a whole slew of Iowans.

Perry is a fireball, an extremely hard worker. Those first few debates you could see him crashing, last half. It was due to that back surgery. He’s at 100% now and is cooking.

[Tex-Con-Man]

Perry was on Hannity this afternoon and did very well.

When Hannity asked him about his poor early debate performances, and what he would have done differently, Perry said he really underestimated the effect the back surgery would have on him. He said he's running up to 15-20 miles a week and feels much better.

FWIW.

[baysider]

Perry has grit...and a campaign style that takes no prisoners...he can DESTROY Obama !

[Poison Pill]

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has moved into third place ahead of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Rick Perry is going to get the nomination. Just watch.
