Nobody Is Out In Iowa Yet - Perry has high positives.
"Texas Gov. Rick Perry, whom some pundits had written off as the GOP's nominee, may find a second coming in Iowa, if new poll data holds up...One of the poll’s most interesting findings: 67 percent of respondents overall — and a whopping 75 percent who are leaning toward former House Speaker Gingrich — state that they still may change their minds. "
(So, I guess don't count out anyone just yet in Iowa)
strongly positive rating has jumped 6 points
67% positive rating among Iowas caucus goers
78% positive rating among self-identified tea party members
71% positive rating among Iowa undecideds
It's being attributed to heavy duty advertising something Gingrich doesn't have but Ron Paul does.
New Hampshire Right To Life group Endorses Perry
"Texas Gov. Rick Perry earned an endorsement from New Hampshire's anti-abortion group Right to Life on Tuesday...cited Perry's actions to shutdown Planned Parenthood clinics in Texas, including millions for pregnancy resource centers and prohibiting tax-funded abortions in his state budget, signing a ban on late-term abortions and a law that requires a doctor to perform a sonogram on an expectant mother before performing an abortion."
The key here is getting other Right to Life groups in other states to also jump on the bandwagon.
Steve Forbes Sticks With Perry
"'I’ve known Rick Perry since over 10 years ago when he first became governor and put in some excellent reforms to their legal system in Texas — especially against tort lawyers,' Forbes said. 'I think [his] positive policies — especially on the flat tax, and energy, and other areas— I think will hold him in good stead as people finally make up their minds in January and February,' he said."
“I think people make the mistake of writing off Rick Perry and believe he can’t come back. He’s got a mountain to get over, but I don’t think it’s impossible. Both Newt and Romney have a lot of support, but I don’t think it’s a two-man race. I think Perry could get back in it with Gingrich and Romney.
So with this Right to Life group throwing their support behind Perry... do you think the social conservative tide could be about to turn to Perry? (Not that any particular candidate has really attracted them).
Rick obviously hopes so with that new ad of his...
My money is still on Romney because the party fat cats are behind him, but he is really looking weak now. If anyone at all comes out of the primary process to beat him it will be Perry. I think he is the only viable candidate outside of Romney. Perry has a lot of what it takes to win: money. Gingrich will be kicked to the side of the road very soon.
and I was just told by hubby, Steve Forbes endorsed Perry..I know endorsements don't make a huge difference, but it is good to know others are looking at him.

I like that new ad but my favorite Perry ad ran the last time he was running for governor. It was a series of stats on how great things are in Texas and all of the accolades and awards by Business Groups. I saw it right before he declared. It's not this one but this one is a very good one, too:
And here is a compilation of his political ads through 2006. I like the Agriculture Commissioner ones although it might make northeastern liberals freak.
I noticed Rick Perry's relative high positives in some of the polling yesterday. I think it might be a reaction to Newt as the 'tea party' flavor and the evangelical's that just can't justify supporting him.

I think you are right...the Evangelicals imo are starting a "Anyone but Newt" crusade....to run concurrent with their tri-weekly televised "praise-a-money-a-thon" where their god (unfortunately for them,not the one true GOD) will threaten to kill them if you do not send in your life savings to them and also vote for the farthest right wing air head running on the repub ticket.

Just last year he was down 20 points to Kay Bailey Hutchison in the Texas Republican Governor’s primary. Perry came back to win that race 51% to 30%.

Look, emily, oops, LauraC, the 'emilybh' of Perry 'shills'...Perry's Ad, ''Strong'' is what is needed to be for a leader of a Country to Stand-up' for.
But, you're over the edge, trying to hope or believe Perry is what America wants or needs...regarding his other bad, inept ideas. Perry IS TOAST! - Like Herman Cain, he exposed too many mental Deficiencies to be trusted as POTUSA.

Nita
It's GOOD to know others are looking at Perry???
Don't you mean, it's SAD that a once great political party is so pathologically sick, that it is willing to give a second, third, and fourth chance to a candidate who has demonstrated without a doubt that he is the DUMBEST S.O.B. ever to run for president? Because the rest of their candidates REALLY suck?
