Perry should have known better, he saw what happened to Thompson. Just showing up is no guarantee of the brass ring. Now, if Perry shot his wad, I suggest he go quietly into the night. These are very troubling times, and we need a leader that can lead.
Seemed like Perry was ready for the Macy's Day Parade, but not the down and dirty. Don't much care for Romney but, you must admit he is a trench fighter. We all know what the Democrats are willing to do, and that is why I think battle scared Sarah Palin in the end would come out on top.
If Perry is a prima donna, and it's really to early to tell, then we need a STRONG replacement. One with the tenacity of their convictions, and the guts of a Lion. To me, only one exists, and she is still waiting in the wings. Maybe she is looking for an invitation? Maybe, all we needed was to ask?
