I still think we will get down to Romney, Perry and Bachmann by the time of the serious primaries, but Bachmann will fold early on in next year I am guessing. Of course we still have to see if anyone else jumps in; my guess, no one of any vote getting power will.

I don't think Bachmann will make it to the primaries. I think she'll run out of money. I just don't see the big donors ponying up for her...unless she keeps mentioning her lawyer creds and the lawyers give her money. They are going to keep supporting Obama. The lawyers hate Perry because he promises tort reform. They may try to make Bachmann, Obama's opponent.
"America’s trial lawyers are getting ready to make the case against one of their biggest targets in years: Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Among litigators, there is no presidential candidate who inspires the same level of hatred — and fear — as Perry, an avowed opponent of the plaintiffs’ bar who has presided over several rounds of tort reform as governor. The governor has pushed through a string of tort reform laws, including a 2003 measure putting a monetary cap on non-economic damage awards. He passed another law in the most recent Texas legislative session, making it easier to dismiss some lawsuits and putting plaintiffs on the hook for legal costs in certain cases that are defeated or dismissed."

Perry is the flavor of the day. He'll go down quick. Bachmann looks bad because she can't go beyond sound bites when explaining her policies. She's slipping now. Decent on some small government policies but Romney is still the front runner. He's playing it smart and avoiding as much as he can which is what the front runner should do in his case imo.
I support Ron Paul but Romney is in charge for now. The best part about these small government frauds is when the policies they enacted get exposed to the public more understand most of the candidates are not for small government.
The debates will whittle the candidates down. The more debates the better for Ron Paul. The others can claim small government but their voting says otherwise.

Both will suffer from the hype. Neither of them are strong debaters, or candidates who can point to any policy they've implemented to back up their rhetoric. What both will ultimately suffer the most from is being able to convince anyone outside of the audience they've targeted throughout their political careers to even give them a chance.

I agree, but the debates are run by the media who favor the flavor of the month club. We've already seen Fox trying to alienate RP from their chosen candidates via debates.
Bachmann bests Paul this week, Paul passes Bachmann the next. Perry leads the field one week, Romney the next...all asking the American public to hold their noses while these laughable people advance proposals from a party that has done nothing but fail and promote failure. Pretty pathetic.
The person who emerges, weakened and beaten senseless by the other GOP suspects, will get slaughtered.
The Bildebergers back Perry, so he'll be in it for the long haul. Paul has to get the funding, so it all depends on his supporters. Being Morman is too big a liability for Romney with the Christian conservative bloc. I see Perry vs Paul. Either of them must choose Rubio for VP.
When you have no executive experience, there are no hard decisions to criticize. The only record you have is voting and writing laws, not exactly the duties of the chief executive of the US. The American public probably realizes this and that's why no Congressman has ever been elected to President directly from Congress since Garfield.
Now, if they would only apply that same line of thought to Senators.
