It appears to me that Perry may have the middle ground between the beltway RINO endorsed and the Tea Party endorsed. He is not universally detested on either side and has a credible record of experience. He is media ready, appears well on camera and in debates and maybe what each side will allow as acceptable.
Grass roots conservatives will not back Romney, Huck, Newt, Guilliani, Paul or Pawlenty.
East coast and country clubbers won’t back Palin, Bachmann, Cain, Paul or DeMint.
Paul supporters will say ... well, never mind.
Perry may be acceptable to a majority of the two main groups.
Palin, Bachmann and Cain are not afraid of the national media.
What has Perry done to demonstrate the same?
