His performance last night confirmed — with an exclamation point — the negative narrative of his entire campaign. Everyone could forgive Ron Paul if he spaced out on the name of a cabinet agency he wanted to shutter, because everyone knows that Ron Paul knows what he knows and has no problem explaining himself under normal circumstances. People are much more unsure about Perry and he compounded that uncertainty last night. It’s fine to say everyone has these bad moments. That’s true. Everyone makes mistakes. What you look for are patterns. Last night was so deadly because Perry reinforced his pattern rather than deviated from it. And he was already on borrowed time.

Nah, he’s resting. He’s pining for the plains. Perry’s a remarkable candidate, beautiful energy policy.

“Why Rick Perry is Texas toast”
The Ballad of Rick Perry (Love Theme from The Niggerhead Hillbillies, from the makers of The Little Rock Hillarybills)
Come and listen to my story ’bout a man named Rick
Poor debateer came across a little thick
And then one night he’s a tripping o’er his tongue
One more time found his brain right up his bung
Foiled, that is – Texas Toast, Barack’s Gold
Well, the next thing you know, the party’s millionaires
Said “Rick who?” then “Like anybody cares”
Said Austin, Texas is the place you oughta stay
As they quit the Lone Star State for the Massachusetts Bay
Mitt, that is – flipping flops, McKinsey stars

If people had seen his speech in New Hampshire on You Tube and had seen this gaffe on live TV, then no one could or would want to imagine Rick Perry give a crisis speech from the Oval Office. He is flighty, drunk or stoned in these setting and even flighty is too much for most voters.
All Romney must do to get the Republican nod is stick to his script and show up where he is supposed to. All the others are either too dumb, too odd, or too green.
