(CNN) – Rick Perry may "absolutely" run for president again and described the debates in the 2012 primary as good practice.

"I tell people it was by far the most exhilarating thing that I've ever done," Perry told ABC News. "In a perfect world we would have started a lot earlier."

After an initial surge in national polling, Perry failed to gain traction and was plagued by less than stellar debate performances.

But Perry, now a Newt Gingrich backer, said the debates "have absolutely nothing to do with governing." When asked if they were good practice for 2016, Perry responded "Ya, could be."

3. I always thought

it was "baited breath". But then it was just last year I realized that what I always thought was a "wild hair" up one's ass (i.e. a reference to someone's fury butt), actually posited a frenzied "wild hare".

5. "Perry ponders...." Thought I smelled something burning. nt

6. "Exhilarating?" You don't run for president because running is exhilarating.

Oh, dear. Perry does not seem to understand that being the president is not about the exhilaration and excitement of running. This reminds me of the shocked look on Bush's face when he commented that being president was "hard work." What do these guys expect. It must be nothing but hard work to be president if you do it right.

12. It's actually spelled "bated" breath...

... because bated means stopped (and implicitly waiting in anticipation).

(Think abate.)

13. Has anyone let him know that we only have one president at a time?

14. He needs to ponder being on "Don't Forget The Agencies" n/t

15. Perry's star rose higher and burned out faster than Fred Thompson's in '08.

16. The trouble is he's thick as mince

If he can just sort the whole 'being thick as mince' thing, he's in with a shot.
