You would think a multiple term, career politician like Perry would be savvy enough to making potential campaign destroying gaffes like this.
He's done a good job of getting into office by avoiding debates and issues, cashing in on donors and above all, "out-texasing" the other candidates.
That works in TX. That kind of bullying gets cheers down there. That stuff won't play in Mass or NH.
It's hard not to look at him as a THUG. It's a commercial and the first thing he does is charge to the podium of a man 20 years older, and PUTS HIS HANDS on him. What the hell.
Geezus... imagine if OBAMA had squared up and PUT HIS HANDS on hilary during the debates.
What if BIDEN had PUT HIS HANDS upon PALIN in the debate in anger?
Holy crap, you'd have everyone blowing a gasket. It will be interesting to see what happens here. The guy has been on the nat'l stage for 120 minutes - really - and he's already bullied an old man in anger. Really?
