Nah, this is about Perry’s own survival. He undoubtedly (and correctly) attributed Cain’s success to the fact that American taxpayers really, really want a serious overhaul of the whole tax system. So he jumped on board with his own plan, backed by a long-time respected flat tax advocate (Forbes). It’s his only shot.
Just a hunch, I think Bachmann plays well in the caucus format, she may surprise in Iowa.

Too late. No one likes wanker political promises made on the fly.
