    "saddest thing is not that Rick Perry is still considered a major contender for the GOP nomination."

    same can be said of each of them who put themselves forward: Cain'tGet'ErDone, Bachmann, Willard, Grinchgrinch, pitbull , McLiar. I read that there is some idea of drafting .... Buchannan!
    So in your view, TOTUS is the only viable candidate, right?

    I have lived in Texas for the last 18 years or so. I have never been more embarrassed by a governor than I am by this one.

    It will be interesting to see how the various news agencies cover the gaffe...
    left vs. right-leaning vs. independents.

    I even voted for the guy once...I did vote for Kinky Friedman one year when he was running, too, though.

    Too much. Just too much.

    There has never been anyone who can make me laugh and cringe at the same time like Perry can. Whenever he speaks in a debate and hits that lull with the blank stare I find myself encouraging him to just get through the question. He was doing so good just keeping his answers short and stopping with the Gomer Pyle expression. When he was trying to remember the third agency to complete his point I don't think there was anyone pulling for him more than me. He went off script and went for the homerun and ed up as only he can.

    I think if Perry had skipped all of the debates he would have still been the frontrunner today...or at least in 2nd place. He had enough money and goodwill from his idiot supporters to pull him through regardless.
    You cant do that and be a viable candidate. Eventually, he would at LEAST have to debate Obama, who would wipe the floor with him.

    The saddest thing is not that Rick Perry is still considered a major contender for the GOP nomination.
    In this field? Not that big a surprise, even with his bumbling.

    Speaking of memory lapses, WC, you have clearly forgotten the debates between McCain and Obama...and how Obama cleaned McCain's clock time and again. There was no teleprompter present at those debates, and McCain's performances became the butt of late-night television jokes.

    The point is not what you said of McCain...it is that your last post before mine lol'd at the notion of Obama being able to do anything without a teleprompter!

    My response was to your assertion about Obama and the prospect of debating without a teleprompter. Since he clearly did well against McCain in the last election without a teleprompter, it is clearly a refutation of your most recent assertion about Obama's abilities.

    Sometimes, WC, I despair of your ability to comprehend the logical flow of a conversation.

    Obama is more charismatic than McCain. Obama really s up on many topics without TOTUS, but he is still a better speaker than McCain.

    Your point?

    The main point gotten across in the last few posts is that you're still a ing idiot.

    Hater's unbiased opinion:
    I don't think Perry is that dumb. I think he just get's way too nervous in this spotlight. Actually let me clear this up. He is that dumb, but tons of other politicians: Bachman, Palin are way dumber. The difference is Perry chokes under the national spotlight. It's obvious and painful to watch.

    So in other words, he is not DONE. If voters are willing to vote for Palin after she revealed she is borderline retaard, they will vote for Perry. Yes, voters are THAT DUMB.

    Does he live in Dallas? Maybe living in Dallas has affected him in the choking department?

    This guy is proving how many of my fellow Texans are morons. He ran from debating Bill White and now I see why.

    i agree that Perry isn't dumb. he flew in the Airforce. the military doesn't let dummies fly planes worth more than most people will make in a lifetime. some people get early onset dementia or alzheimers. or it could be that he hasn't honed his skills enough over the last 15 years so that he doesn't perform well under the spotlight. the damage is done though. it's over. peoples' perception of him is as low as it can get.

    Eh, I think everyone's had one of those mental lapse moments. If this hadn't been a recurring theme in his campaign, he might have been ok, but this just furthers the meme that he's not ready for the spotlight and is not on Romney's level. It's sad that his substantive problems as a candidate, on full display in his book, didn't do him in, but this sound bite will.

    So what you're saying is despite the fact that Obama destroyed McCain repeatedly in debates without a teleprompter, he would get beaten by Perry, who would fare MUCH worse in debates than McCain... because Obama wouldn't have access to a teleprompter...

    You have issues.
