Bachmann's Loss in Latest Poll Could End Up as Perry's Gain

[drakonyx]

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, reportedly poised to declare his candidacy, is running well in the latest CNN/ORC International poll on the presidential race, just 2 percentage points behind leader Mitt Romney. But that's not the real news here. The biggest change is Michele Bachmann's precipitous drop. The margin between Perry and Bachmann (8 percentage points) now actually exceeds the level of Bachmann's support.

6. I'm actually looking forward to the Perry/Parry campaign.

He only just announced today, but I've already seen a number of expose-type articles that convinced me that he has a LOT of 'splainin' to do. Can't wait for him to get started.

4. And then to top it off, Palin's bus pulls into the parking lot. Oh boy!!!..n/t

8. Perry's gain?

No. If you elect Perry or Bachmann, it shall be America's loss.
