OT: Rick Perry's flub

Sad, but true, Merge. If they had ANYBODY even semi-qualified, it would be a landslide. I'm happy Christie is staying in NJ, but I think he would have cruised to the nomination and beaten Obama.
What is laughable is that the mainstream media gives very few other candidates any coverage at all except for Romney, Perry and Cain. There are some good candidates but they will never get the time of day based on the bias of the mainstream media. Perry can continue to make gaffes as far as I am concerned.
This is a clear example of Perry's inability to think under pressure and kills his chances. If he were relaxed in his home or office he would have been able to come up with all three but, put the pressure on and he comes up with a brain fart. His video with the Maple syrup bottle is an other example. we can't have that kind of failure as President. Romney is going to be the man.
did they ever get to the bottom of what happened in Vermont? was he on medication? did he have a few too many earlier in the day? Or was he just trying a diff. angle with his persona to come off more funny/likeable & it went wrong? that was way more embarrassing than his forgetful moment last night, although that was cringeworthy too.
Lets be honest, every human has had the same moment that Perry had during the debate. The Problem is that Perry has had too many of these moments and that does not look Presidential at all. The field is weak and none of these guys cannot beat a wounded Obama. It is similar to NJ where Christie is beatable but there is no one that the Democratic party can put up that could even challenge him with the exception being Codey.
I have been very confused by Gingrich at the debates I have seen.
In theory, he should be able to chew every other candidate to bits right now... but he hasn't. He has been average.
I think he knows he can't win the nomination and is positioning himself for the VP spot and would help Romney pick up some of the base that isn't thrilled with Romney.
This Stuff should not be on this board; belongs Off The Ship
I have an opinion on Perry but we really should take the poliics to Off The Ship. I say this with all dues respect to all the posters.

Another sad commentary that we are more consumed with sound bytes over substance. Perry is not my choice, but his flub has nothing to do with it. Having had an eloquent President who has been a three year flub is more concerning to me.

Perry v Obama and it would have been more forgivable.
In a primary you have to show why you are the best to beat the other party, and you have very little margin for error. We were one maniacal scream away from President Howard Dean.
Perry has had way too many poor moments in his short run.
