At one point in time, Rick Perry was the big republican candidate. Now, he's almost faded into obscurity. Personally, I'm almost positive that Perry is way out of the race. He's embarassed himself so many times in front of camera, that I'm always going to remember his as the guy who didn't know his own stands on policy issues. I think the main thing that's keeping Perry from a presendential nomination is his image. People see him as stupid, and its really hurt his chances. The embarassing debate in which Perry forgot one of the parts of government that he wanted to deal with was probably the most hurtful to his chances. Perry is not a debater or a speaker, and that really hurts his image in the eyes of the public. While I think that Perry is out of the race, he's got one thing going for him that MIGHT get him the nomination. The republican party is still split. While Romney has begun to establish himself as the frontrunner now, there is still enough debate that Perry might be able to slip through the lines. However, the chance of that happening is very slim, and unless he finds a way to turn things around quickly, Perry probably won't be in the white house any time soon.
