Because some people that choose who the candidate will be decided he would be a good choice... guess they didn't listen to him too closely. just did a quick checklist...
1. crazy right wing beliefs - yup
2. Doesn't like gays - yup
3. a religious zealot - yup
4. is a better choice than Sara Palin -- Duh! (So are my dogs but I wouldn't let them run)
5. can say the most absurd things without falling into hysterics --yup
Because it's who fox is propagating at the moment. Just a few months ago Trump was the right's superstar. Then Pawlenty was their guy, then Bachmann was the darling, now Perry. The right are just grasping at anyone with an (R) next to their name, not to mention they obey anything fox tells them.

Actually the GOP is being introduced to a wealth of serious, interesting candidates, with far more success and executive experience than Obama will ever attain.
Obama was a fluke, a one-off, who sold the country visions of hope and change with cotton-candy clouds and wars miraculously settled just because he said so.
If the GOP is taking it's time gravitating towards a candidate, it's because we'd like to put someone serious in office, not a flake like you folks picked.
With any luck, Obama will disillusion the electorate with liberal nostrums for the next generation.
DISCLAIMER: I am not asking this as an attack on Perry or anybody else. I'm just wondering how Rick Perry has suddenly become so popular despite not really seeming to distinguish himself from the rest of the pack of Republican presidential candidates except for hair and being from a big, relatively economically-unscathed state. Is it media fascination?
I don't get it.
Because people will believe anything that comes out of politicians' mouths anymore.

Not media fascination...it is media denunciation that has everyone's attention.
Seems like a lot of liberals are scared of Perry because he will likely trounce Obama in the general. He's a lot closer to what the country needs, an experienced governor of a popular and successful state unlike Obama who had no experience whatsoever for the job he now holds and practices thug politics. The country now realizes the mistake they made by giving this character a job he had no chance of succeeding in and will remove him from office in a little over a year.
As long as he continues to associate himself with the American Taliban, and trying to run his presidency through prayer, while acting no differently than Bush, he has no shot at winning the nomination. Independents will not vote for a more conservatively religious Bush.

I'll bet you have no idea what you're talking about. Just liberal talking points you've adopted as your own. This is what I mean by liberals running scared.
"American Taliban"? Really?
