Dan Schnur, who directs the University of Southern California’s political institute, thinks the drama of the Reagan Library event may be overstated and that Perry can easily shrug off any attacks.
“The bar for Perry is not that high,” says Schnur. “As long as he doesn’t melt down in the face of his opponents’ challenges, the debate probably doesn’t do much to harm him. Perry doesn’t need a knockout to survive the debate. All he needs is a split decision.”
I doubt that there will be any "real" fireworks at the first debate, but watch for Bachmann launching a few at Perry and Mitt lobbing some as well. Perry will "win" the debate as long as he does not commit any gaffes, though I am looking forward to his answers to some of his wackier statements.
