that they dont want to be suck with a loose cannon, flip flopper for a candidate. Rick Perry is establishment republican. If you said Bachmann, Johnson,Cain or Paul then that would make a little sense

4. They want Romney because they think he has the better chance in the general election. |

The Republican establishment wants Mittens. They think he's their best shot in the general election. Rick Perry is only semi-establishment. He's to the FAR right and a true TeaNut darling. The establishment Pukes love Perry dearly, but they want Mittens at the top of the ticket because they think he has more appeal nationally. Gonna be very interesting. I think Perry wins hands-down in that base. If he campaigns tough and goes hard after Mittens as a "flip flopping moderate Mormon from liberal New England", that will resonate loud and clear with the TeaNut base especially in the south, west, and midwest. And he'll have plenty of money. I think he wins. It is very early.

That's not going to over well in the Bible Belt -- look at how they reacted to rumors that Obama was a Muslim!
Sorry, folks, but unless you want to get behind Bachmann, I think you're stuck with him.

6. That's because Rick has been pissing off members of the Bush administration. |
|
He shouldn't have angered his puppet masters.

7. That "have a heart thing sounds, to Republicans, like a liberal talking" |
|
Yeah... asking Republicans to "have a heart" is one sure way to make them suspicious of you.

Rick Perry is the best thing that has happened to Obama's re-e-lection campaign since Michelle Bachmann and Newt Gingrich.
If he does a fade-out at this early stage, then they'll start to run out outrageous buffoons way too early and give a serious candidate some consideration. Christie may do his "Blue Meanie" bit for another fifteen minutes, but unless the Kochs decide to give a billion to Herman Cain, then guys like Huntsman may get some second wind, and that's exactly the sort of thing we do NOT want to happen. Huntsman may be right wing, but he's not a circus clown and he does know the difference between New Hampshire and Massachusetts (sad that such a thing distinguishes one Republican presidential candidate from another--has American politics sunk to this level, REALLY?--on second thought, don't answer that).

Man, I'll bet you worry about the oceans running out of salt water.
I'll have to add this to Volume Six of my treatise, "Shortages We'll Never Have".

They'll start to run out of outrageous buffoons with the money and/or the will to run for president. Not everyone is a corrupt governor of Texas, Herman Cain or Donald Trump.
