Texas Gov. Rick Perry is back in New Hampshire — his second visit in less than a week. But several people — both moderate Republicans and Tea Partiers — who turned out to hear Perry Wednesday were disappointed.Read the full story HERE.
[...]
“The New Hampshire Republicans are moderate Republicans,” said Andy Smith, the director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. “Conservative on fiscal issues and tax issues and size of government issues, but on social issues, very much moderate to liberal.”

“I’m not impressed with him,” Condon said. “In New Hampshire, I think folks here were really excited to hear about Gov. Perry. We admire a lot of things that go on in Texas, his job growth there. We were looking for something really good from him, and the fact that he gave a lot of non-answers really does concern me. I know he came in the race late, but I don’t think he’s quite geared up, because he doesn’t have answers to our questions.”
[...]
Testerman does not think Perry helped himself with his appearance Wednesday morning.
“Rick Perry is claiming to have done all this great job creation,” Testerman said. “They’ve been a right-to-work state since 1993. They have very friendly business policies in that state, so I don’t think he can credit himself with it. ”

I thought Huckabee came off as preachy. This guy wins in that department hands down.
Sorry, I couldn't get past the first 5 minutes of Perry's speech.
and huck definitely isnt a perry guy especially when hes taking his pulpit. Huck might actually go for romney in romney vs perry battle
I cannot believe how much Perry is like Bush, even down to the facial expressions and voice inflections. It can't be that all Texans talk this way! It's so weird.
I'm trying to give Perry a chance here, so I'm watching this. So far, he's fine, but I'm not seeing anything remotely compelling. The speech is over, but there was nothing there for be to grab on to.
Also, his actions speak louder than words isn't good enough to fix the treacherous ugly comments about Bernanke.

No more 'too deep in the weeds'. I'm sure his staff or wife is trying to tell him this.
His answer on the vets question is that he doesn't have one.

Oh man, that GE answer is ripe for someone to exploit considering Perry's cronyism in Texas.

I need to say one more thing.
Apparently, Perry toned down the cowboy schtick for the NH crowd. But in the process, he was so boring I fell asleep during his speech, and again in the Q/A.
Maybe I just didn't get enough sleep last night, but it seems to me that Perry is in a predicament. He either has to be himself to be interesting and engaging--which is off-putting to many of us, or he has to cut the swagger and be completely boring.
I believe he just needs to be himself, and let people deal with it.

OMG! This man is SO BORING! How long does it take to do introductions and thank various people? He's worse than any Republican candidate I have ever seen!

I agree. Both the speech and the Q & A sucked.
