New PR for Perry?

The Republican candidates participated in another debate tonight, one in which some wondered if Gov. Perry could redeem his "fumbling, forgetful performance" at the last debate. Alas, it was not to be. But did anyone really think it would be? I cringed for him (along with everyone else in America) when he was addressed with a question. I don't believe he ever directly answered a question. Rather, he would turn the answer into something he did feel he knew about, and even then he struggled. I wondered aloud several times, "Who are his PR people? How are they going to spin this one?" I mean, someone is dressing him really nice, but they really need to find someone to stand up and talk for him, too.

I'm sure Gov. Perry is a very nice man. He seems like he would be a lot of fun at a party. I just don't see him being our next president - not even close. I feel for his PR team that has to figure out how to recover after every debate. After his forgetful episode, which - yes - happens to everyone, Perry tried to downplay the "Oops," saying, "This isn't about who's the slickest debater." Well, yes, it is. You'd better be able to think on your feet if you're the president of the United States.

In any event, I feel bad for Perry - he's way out of his league. And so, perhaps (since we're not seeing much in the way of recovery), is his PR team.
