Rick Perry, the great hope of the GOP, realizes...
....he is dumber than Bachmann.
Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Rick Perry, whose performance in a series of Republican presidential debates has corresponded with a steep decline in his support in polls, plans to limit participation in future face-offs ahead of early state nominating contests. The concession by the Texas governor, confirmed by an aide in an e-mail to Bloomberg News today, could benefit former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who has taken a lead over his rivals for the Republican nomination in the states slated to hold the first four caucuses and primaries in January. "I think reality has hit him in the face," said Victoria M. DeFrancesco Soto, a visiting scholar in the Department of Government at the University of Texas in Austin. "I think he has realized his strengths and weaknesses. He made the political calculation that more debates are only going to hurt him." Perry's absence from debate stages could spur criticism that he is being timid about confronting his rivals. In Texas, Perry had a history of avoiding some debates with his gubernatorial competitors, DeFrancesco Soto said. Read mo http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...#ixzz1c0hXVAjT |
