Perry Is Failing The First Test(s) - John Ellis

More wishful thinking from the Rockefeller wing of the party. Perry is only failing by their standards, not the standards of those voting in the primaries. By their standards he is hitting it out of the park.

But more alarming was Perry's evident lack of command of the subject matter. As John Podhoretz wrote at Commentary after the CNN/Tea Party debate, Perry had trouble with some fairly straightforward policy questions. He seemed not only out of his depth, he seemed unprepared.

When was this a disqualifying error?
