Randy said:How did he get elected in the first place, let alone presidential candidate.
Huey said:I kind of agree with you Towen, but after the debacle from the week before, was he drunk, was he not drunk, he is quickly becomming a non candidate.

I certainly am not a Perry fan and would not consider voting for him BUT like T7 said who hasn't made a mistake?
All the brouhaha over this and we wonder why better people don't run for office.

I think this is a major cause of elections coming down to a fucking popularity contest, or 'who has the most money'Flint said:The press are supposed to talk about the policies, plans, and promises the candidates make while on the campaign. Instead they pay very basic lip service to those things then spend endless hours on the controversy, gaffs, and emberassing aspects of each candidate. How much have we heard about the Perry's flat tax proposal? How much about Cain's 9-9-9 plan? Reporters and anchors say the words, but they don't discuss them. Instead they rant on and on about nonsense.
It should be the other way around. The press should spend the majority of the time discussing the policies, goals, and intentions of the candidates and only a small portion of the time on the controversy.

Forgetting something under pressure shows that he is human, I was alluding more to the "drunk" episode from the week before that has never been explained.
