Yesterday, Newt Gingrich's campaign disintegrated. The former Speaker of the House says he is still in the race. His staff won't be going with him. This effectively ends Newt's campaign unless he can give a stellar performance at Monday night's New Hampshire debate and quickly rebuild.

This provides an opening for Governor Rick Perry to enter the race for the White House. Most outside observers expect him to get in. Should Perry do so, you can be assured that the Bushies, most of whom detest Perry, would work to undermine him at every turn. Likewise, the Democrats would work as hard as they could to paint Rick Perry as the second coming of George W. Bush.

In related news, Governor Mitt Romney is bailing on the Ames, Iowa straw poll. In 2008, Romney won the straw poll, but lost the state. That should be an indication for all the other candidates to not put too much stock in it.

All this news shakes up the Republican field. Most people have been waiting to see who the anti-Romney would be to Mitt Romney's candidacy. An entry by Rick Perry would delay the front runner for that title. It would keep money on the sidelines. That keeps Mitt Romney at the top for a little while longer.

Then there is Rudy Giuliani, whose entry into the race may come in the next few weeks. If he gets in, polls suggest he jumps ahead of Romney, but I do not consider him a viable candidate long term. That puts the spotlight on two people: Rick Perry and Tim Pawlenty.

A year from now, it would not surprise me if that was the ticket.

I hope Perry runs. He will beat the Skinny Socialist like a drum. But, he will first have to beat the stinking progressive Rs who will do all they can to undermine him.

And, of course the lib media will work overtime to destroy him.

But, the ladies should like him. He has lots of hair.

ANYBODY BUT BARACK '12

What issues? What is it that Perry is going to say that the public is going to love? What issues are the people going to hear him talk about and decide that he's got the solutions to the problems that face us?

Apparently you've been in a COMA for several decades?

The issue is ALWAYS about the ECONOMY.

On that issue alone, Obama is in BIG trouble.

I would have to think that the Democrats aren't too happy with Obama either. He hasn't fulfilled hardly any of his campaign promises. Gitmo is still open. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars are still going on. The "hope" and "change" that he promised have both been false alarms. The economic "recovery" doesn't exist. Gas prices are almost double what they were when he took office. Obamacare is going down in flames. The national debt is the highest in history. The budget deficit is the highest in history. And on and on and on and on.

But I digress. Vote for Obama and let him FINISH what he started.

I was asking for specifics. What is it that Perry is going to do to solve the problems that we face? You have only stated the problem.
 
Reagan was not . only mythical Reagan was.

So true! In their minds, Reagan's popularity was always 80%, he never signed a tax increase, and he fulfilled every campaign promise. Not to mention their amnesia about his memory issues. Which is pretty ironic, huh?

Why don't you do a Google search and find out where Perry stands on the issues, and what his record in Texas has been like? I personally don't know much about Perry. I'm voting for Obama.
 
You need to address that to Gipper. He is the one who claimed that people would adore Perry, but he's yet to explain why.

Its really simple. Perry is a conservative.

Conversely, your Messiah is a Marxist.

Americans do not like Marxists. They like conservatives.

Anybody But Barack '12

That is not simple, it is simple minded.

Only a simpleton would call Obama a Marxist.

Only a simpleton would use "your Messiah" as an argument.

Only a simpleton would endorse a candidate while being unable to articulate anything about that candidate that is positive beyond "I've projected my ideas onto him".

I ask again, what does Perry stand for, what does he bring to the table?
