Perry plays well in Texas. No one knows how well will do outside of that state.
No matter what we here on this website happen to think of Social Security and Medicare, both of those entitlement programs remain ENORMOUSLY popular with the public in general. Most people feel they’ve worked and paid into the system most of their lives and they are entitled to collect back from it.
I think the GOP nominee would be better served going after Obamacare.
The only way BHO can win is to destroy his opponent and raising huge doubts. The things Perry has said about Social Security give plenty of ammo to the Dems. Senior citizens are the fastest growing segment of the population and the highest propensity voters.
Perry’s polling numbers are high for older Americans.
“Perry plays well in Texas. No one knows how well will do outside of that state.”
He’s barely gotten started and already polls show him neck and neck with the increasingly unpopular Obama.
guys, lets cut the garbage about “X isn’t electable”. Hogwash. If Bachmann, Perry or Romney are the GOP nominee, they will beat Obama. Why?
9% UNEMPLOYMENT! Obama is a big fat FAIL. All we need is a good conservative who can run a good campaign. Perry knows that.
Polls are already showing this - Obama is consistently under 50% in head to head matchups. Only about 43% of die-hard folks on his side ...

Perry has only stated what people already know.
