QUESTION OF THE WEEK #1

At this point, Rick Perry kind of looks like a joke to most people.  He's had some particular moments that have caused people to question his intelligence and his accountability.  He gave a speech in New Hampshire that left people wondering whether he was drunk when he gave it.  It was almost like he was trying to be a comedian, but just ended up coming off as crazy.  When asked about his thoughts on the speech at a later date, he had no regrets on the speech and thought it was a success and that people really responded well to it.  He also seems to have some senior moments.  While explaining which three agencies he would cut if he were made President, he forgot what the third one was.  He doesn't seem to have given much thought to those issues if he can so easily forget one of them, leaving the people wondering if he would really be a capable president.  He also had some disasters in debates early on in the race that really affected people's vision of him, and shifted their focus to Herman Cain.  I suppose he could win if Mitt Romney continued switching opinions on issues and if this Herman Cain scandal amounts to much more than it already is, or if some scandal arises about Mitt Romney or the other Republican candidates.  He really seems like an unsuitable option at this point though.
