A fools errand. Perry needs to take a long, hard look at his strengths and weaknesses. He will only humiliate himself IMO.

I agree.

Some of the Perry faithful say that Reagan did not win his first time around. I am well aware of that as I worked on Reagan's 1976 campaign. But Perry is no Reagan. And he never will be.

Perry couldn’t remember the 3 agencies he’d shutdown, if elected (the debate with Romney, and the rest). What was telling about that moment wasn’t that he had a lapse of memory, but it was obvious he was merely providing lip service, pandering, to the conservative audience.

You can Bet Palin or Cruz would know exactly the agencies to get rid of, as it is etched into their DNA, if not crib noted on the palm of the hand . ;)
