The reality is I dont think Perry has any intention of going after anyone except Romney. That is where his energy is and has been directed."
REALLY? HOW ABOUT THIS?
The poll numbers in Iowa and the strategic logic of the Perry campaign point inexorably to the necessity of Team Perry going negative on Herman Cain and doing so PDQ, while Perry can still get the maximum advantage of his fund-raising advantage.
Link to Perry's Strike Force Plan Against Cain
The campaign for Texas Republican Rick Perry is rallying a strike force of volunteers to work in Iowa right before the Iowa GOP caucuses, Politico reports.
Politicos Mike Allen this morning shared a copy of the Perry campaign email, with the subject line: Volunteer Need for Strike Force effort:
We are actively recruiting volunteers for the Iowa Strike Force effort. We are looking for about 1200 volunteers to be onsite the week of December 27 January 4 or at the very least onsite no later than January 3.
If someone is asking you how to get involved in the on the ground operations in Iowa, you can have them e-mail strikeforce@rickperry.org for more information.
Please pass along to anyone who has expressed a desire to help. Thanks so much!
The author is a blogger who calls himself “The Other McCain.” Perhaps the Admin Moderators could add that information.
He engages in “purely negative” quoting of other bloggers who claim that the Perry campaign is “purely negative.”
The whole blog post is “purely negative” speculation.
Perry has been the Establishment's back-up guy/Judas horse all along. Use his backers' money to drive out the other (or should I say "real"?) conservatives, then bring the conservatives voters to the altar of Moloch, god of the RiNO's.
We must draft, nominate and elect Sarah Palin president in the most crushing tidal wave of enthusiastic good judgment ever seen in the history of this nation. With that one bold move we will accomplish the dual goals of seeing America led by the greatest natural born leader in our generation, even as we witness the final implosion and last agonized shrieks of our endlessly lying extreme left loonies. Their entire movement, from the fabricated attacks on Bush beginning with Blood For Oil to the crammed-down-our-gullets lies of Obamacare and the Shovel Ready Stimulus, have been nothing but one vile deceit heaped upon another. Such an absolute inability to deal in the truth or to face the facts of our situation and its solutions only proves that there is simply no place at the grown-ups table for these diseased sputa. Good riddance to rubes and bad rubbish. Time to usher in the American Renaissance, carried in on the invigoratingly freshening breeze of President Sarah Palin.
I feel this is from Mitt - just scanned it a bit and it just seems his style.
I agree.
I agree - Perry is the one attacking Mitt. This is Mitt’s hit piece.
HC: Not in my opinion, and in my opinion, it doesnt have any reflection on Governor Perry. And I quite personally would rather people move on from that. It is a distraction. I want people to compare my economic growth and jobs plan to Governor Perrys economic growth and jobs plan. I want people to focus on my economic growth and jobs plan versus Governor Romneys economic growth and jobs plan. Thats what I want people to focus on.
HH: The other eyebrow raiser was when you told, I cant remember who it was, and if I did, I wouldnt give him the plug, that you couldnt support Rick Perry right now. And Im looking for all the Republicans except Ron Paul to say about all the other ones, I am going to support the nominee, regardless of who it is, that comes out of this process. Can you say that, Herman Cain?
HC: Ive got to answer that two ways. Now thats an entrapment question.
HH: (laughing)
HC: I did say, Hugh, that based upon Governor Perrys positions on some of the things today like being soft on securing the border, providing tuition assistance for children of illegal aliens, I have a heart, but I happen to believe you cannot basically provide incentives for people to keep doing the same illegal behavior. And based upon a number of other things, I cant support him today based upon his position on things. That being said, I dont think hes going to get the nomination. Now if its one of those other candidates up there, I am going to support them 100%. If Governor Perry gets the nomination, I will still support him, but it wont be 100%.
HH: Okay, last question, in terms of the 999 plan

Are you kidding, I’m not a Perry supporter nor did I follow anything about him before the campaign and he was blasting the boy.
I saw that in the debate Perry was agreeing more with Cain but debating hard against Mitt!
If Perry's going to get the nomination then he'll need to knock off those ahead of him. Obama will come later.
I believe that is very obvious and MB is another one never attacking Mitt but protecting him.
You and I are seeing the same thing! Even his look towards Cain is gentler - you can see it change when he focuses back on Mitt with one of Mitt’s attacks. Mitt needs to work on his acting skills because he makes things obvious - he attacks Perry but not Cain. And Cain is passing him in the polls.
Who is your candidate? I remember you from that other thread where you posted that lie about Cain and then couldn't back it up.
Cain clarifies again: Abortion shouldnt be legal, but some families might decide to break the law
NEWT’S on his way to NEWTER the boy.
Not for two reasons (and I'm not a Mittens fan, but interested in the tactics):
