This should go over well. Not enough time, or not enough talent? :think:

Perry May Skip Future Debates


Maggie Haberman reports that Rick Perry, who has not proven himself to be the most compelling performer in debates, may not attend any more Republican presidential primary debates after the upcoming debate in Michigan.

Said Perry spokesman Mark Miner, "I think all the campaigns are expressing frustration right now. We said we would do Michigan but the primaries are around the corner and you have to use your time accordingly."

National Journal: "There appears to be consensus in the Rick Perry campaign that skipping some future debates may be the best strategy for the Texas governor."

1. Yeah, they victimize him brutally so he's taking his toys and leaving

[Yupster]

2. That's a mistake IMO

It sets his inability in stone.

The alternative would be to get a little better each debate which won't be hard against his very low expectations.

[Botany]

3. Well he has 2 choices:

1) Keep going to the debates and prove he is an idiot.

b) Stop debating and show that he is a coward.

Either way he is toast.

4. Not Ready For Prime Time

He's this year's Sarah Palin. Every time he opens his mouth, things get worse for him, so he's going to go hide and hope everyone else screws up sufficiently to propel him back to the top.

5. Yeah right....that will assure him the nomination.......

NOT.

[Richardo]

6. Life sucks outside the sychophantic bubble of Texas, doesn't it, Rick?

Reality bites.

[Eddie Haskell]

7. I've skipped them all.

They're a farce. The purpose of these debates is to occupy main street.

[Tesha]

8. "Day-um! Ahhm jes no good at this debaten shit!" (NT)

[rpannier]

9. I for one am very disappointed

He's the funniest one up there

[Aerows]

10. I thought he had been skipping them

Oh, I know he was physically present, but that's about the best that can be said of his debate performance.

[jberryhill]

11. With any luck, he'll skip future elections too

[justabob]

12. I don't think that is going to work for him like it did in the governor race

He got away with it down here, but I don't think that trick is going to do anything for him in a national race.

13. LOL! will he skip debates with President Obama, too? he should be asked.
