I've been amazed by the meteoric rise of Rick Perry the past couple months. Why, post-Dubya, would Republican establishment members be courting the next governor from Texas? I watched the Chris Matthews Show yesterday to watch him and his guests debate it, and they showed clips of Perry where he even sounds just like George W. Bush. I can't imagine him turning too many blue states red. But "they" have been looking for the anti-Romney for a long time, and now they believe they have their guy.
And Perry hasn't officially announced either.
The campaigns of Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, Gary Johnson, and Thad McCotter appear to be lost causes. I keep hearing that Newt Gingrich hasn't dropped out yet because he's still in debt and needs to raise some money just to pay for his failed bid.
I really doubt Rudy Guiliani and Chris Christie will get in, and yet they have their fans still hoping against hope.
Sarah Palin I am more inclined to think she won't get in, but she wants to keep America guessing right up until Iowa.
