Like I have been trying to say for days, people don’t just get their information from watching the debates and or the commentary on the debates, they can get all the information they want on a candidate to see where he actually stands on the issues.

And Perry stand on the issues is great, he just has a hard time articulating in a debate format.

I agree, but do think that it is important that a President be able to articulate his principles and positions when under fire. The President of the U.S. has the world’s most effective bully pulpit and I want our next President to be able to use it to persuade the people to embrace the scope of change that will be needed to pull us out of the debt crisis we are in.

Perry's less then ideal stance on two immigration related sub-issues aside. He does have a good conservative governing record and solidly supports the conservative agenda.

Having said that, Perry must do better in future debates. Not to win them necessarily, just be better prepared to get his message out.
