Perry's ship has been sinking fast. Just a few weeks ago he was in a dead heat and in some cases beating Obama in the polls, now he's down by over 8% and that's not even factoring in the most recent debate. Give it one more and he'll be down likely over 10% and out.

Perry will weather this storm. He's good enough to win the republican primary against Romney but won't play well to a national audience that already thinks all we do down in Texas is shoot guns, drill for oil and execute felons with the clockwork precision of a Rolex...now if Hillary went up for the Democratic nomination things would get interesting...

Hillary will not be running. As much as Republicans would love to see the party split. It is just not going to happen.

Too bad. Hillary is one who I would seriously consider voting for.
If she was there in 2008 she would have gotten my vote.

Maybe 2016 we'll see a Hillary run? That sounds plausible.

Tear Obama down, let the Republicans win in 2012. Then get them to wreck everything and usher in Hillary. The ol' bait and switch game

It is way too early to count anyone out. This could all look like a totally different race in a year.

I don't think that is going to happen. Her support for Obama seems unwavering. I have no idea as to whether she will run in 2016, but I would like to see Elizabeth Warren run then. Hillary is a military Hawk, Warren is not.

Huntsman seems to moderate for the GOP nomination. I don't believe he is anti-science enough for the TP.

If the republicans had complete control again, they would "finish the job" they started under Bush to reign in the apocalypse.
