Recognizing that Romney is a RINO, I am not sure I agree with your take on Perry. This is an ABO (anybody but Oblamer) election and it is more important that we nominate a candidate that can beat him rather than seeking ideological purity. I am just not sure Perry is that guy. Remember, Huckabee and Romney split the conservative vote in 2008 and we were left with McCain. This was his 3rd debate and if anything he is worse than the first two. He just may not have the mental quickness to be a good debater. That is not to say he isn't intelligent but lots of very intelligent people do not possess the ability to think quickly on their feet which is essential in a debate.

The personal touch and ads will only go so far and to beat Oblamer he has to be at least adequate in the debates. He is far removed from adequate right now. We will see how he does in future debates.

I would say I don't like his answers on in-state tuition for illegals. It is offensive to me to be called heartless because I don't want an illegal alien to get a $100K tuition break in Texas that a citizen from another state can't get. I also disagree with his assertion that you can have enough people on a 1,200 mile border to prevent illegals from crossing.

But I don't like Romney's attacks of Perry on social security. He can make his point without the attacks but such is the life of being a former front runner.
