Tancredo is a one-noter. Like some of the others, let him run a state, then we can talk about experience and issues.
Someone on Fox (Nina Easton maybe) has a relative (husband?) working for Romney. I only mention that because you really should see the connections in the media in both parties.
The Ron Paul people don't think anyone in Texas is worth the price of beans except their guy as if Perry was their biggest threat just because he's a native Texan and Paul isn't. Maybe they'd like their guy to be compared to George W Bush, too. Is that what the jealousy is about because I sincerely doubt they're circling the same set of voters? They certainly never faced the same challenges in their careers.
The Democrats have said they are concentrating their opposition research on Perry and Romney apparently thinking one of them is going to be Obama's opponent. So expect to see a lot of "when is a job not a job" blabbering out of the libs or "I bet Romney and Perry never killed Osama Bin Laden" (maybe a Democrat bumper sticker) because what other positive thing does Obama have going for him that he can brag about?
Michele Bachmann has no resume so she sees all her opponents as anyone with experience which is pretty much everyone else. She actually said "no" to the Waterloo gig on Sunday until after she heard Perry was going to be there. Then she did an about face.
I don't expect Gingrich to badmouth Perry since Gingrich wrote the intro to Perry's book "Fed Up." I think Gingrich would make a good advisor if Perry was elected (Giuliani would make a good attorney general).
Rick Santorum is crying because all he's got is the social conservative thing so anyone with social conservative credentials plus just about any other experience is probably threatening to him. Frankly, I think he's an okay person (likeable), I just don't know why he thought he had a shot.
I would have to think they're all pretty pissed that Perry can make a late entrance, have a lot of donors waiting, grab media attention and start in the top 3. I'm thinking the money is going to dry up for a number of them before the end of the year and the first primary. Again, the donor pie is finite. Too many people trying to slice it up does the ultimate winner no good in the general election since Obama has his money pie all to himself.
