Romney best against Obama.

It's like this in 90% of the match-ups.

How can Perry supporters say this doesn't matter?

Not to rain on the parade, but the actual number was Perry: 30%, Romney: 25%.

Still, this poll shows that Romney's got Perry right where he wants him.

CF,

The numbers are correct. I just checked the cross tabs.

So Perry's support is rising the more people get to know him. Why would you settle for flip flop no-principles-say-anything-to-win Romney?
