Personally I prefer Perry to Romney, given Romney's history of dog abuse and general weirdness.  I think they seem to balance each other out as general election candidates.
:huh:  You think Romney is the guy with the history of "general weirdness?"

Perry most reminds me of the "Duke of Bridgewater" from Huck Finn.  He is shrewd when it comes to conning people into believing that his idiotically simplistic solutions are based fundamental truths, but without a true conviction to his name.

romney would shake shelf's hand and call him best friend if it meant a vote. perry would put him up against the wall for being a sodomite. i don't think perry should be the choice for anyone but christian fundamentalists

It warms my heart to see people getting it.

And, you know, that's Romney's problem.

I'm still very sad Huck didn't run :(

He's to busy making money.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

i like that about him. it means he's at least a little bit sensible, and wouldn't arrive in office with a detestable ideology (extreme left or right)

What's up with so many fags being fascinated with people who would put them in jail or in a death camp. You know that Perry was against Lawrence v. Texas?

Yeah, he strikes me as the most reasonable of the Republican front runners.

Romney's weaknesses- health care, flip floppiness, crypto-Christianity

Perry's weakness- scaring off the middle

Overall, I'd rate Romney's chances better. The public is bored with hearing about health care, so him being less outspoken on the issue won't cost much. The Republican base is going to show up to vote out Obama, so the energized base argument doesn't have much traction.

That being said, in the absence of major fuckup by Perry or something equally groundbreaking, I'm pretty sure GOPtards are going to nominate him over Romney.
