ONE OF RAMIREZ'S BEST @ IBD.
Well, the good news: in future elections, Repubs can likely choose from amongst candidates Rubio, Ryan, Christie, Jindal. A tasty multi-course meal.
ReplyDeleteI continue to like this aspect of the current 7 candidate scrum: the 7 way skirmish attracts media and voter attention; the skirmishes elucidate conservative ideas the uninformed.
I also like that the free for all process will sharpen the eventual nominee.
I continue to predict that Perry, though damaged, will prevail. Perry will sharpen his messaging; will show why he is a good campaigner. Perry has not told voters how he will govern. That will change. Perry will give specifics re policy, will explain how he will govern, and voters will find his ideas appealing. Based on Perry's track record, that is what will happen.
I know the big money donor are beginning to declare for Romney. I know that exacerbates Perry's current status as an underdog whose is down on the canvass. I'm just saying: I've watched Rick Perry for a decade: he will not stay down. I still expect him to win. Even if he does not win: he will not stay down. He is about to fight back, and we will see how much ground he can reclaim. I do not know how much ground he can reclaim, but, currently, I am still betting him as the underdog.
I know this: big money aside, and New Hampshire Dems (voting as Repubs) in the primary aside: the rest of Repub voters do not want Romney. That is why Perry initially surged. That is why Cain is currently surging. If Repub voters wanted Romney, then Romney would have a commanding lead during this moment of Perry's failure.
