With the GOP debates well underway and front runners emerging, no prominent candidate stands out from the pack. Paulburka from Burkablog describes Governor Rick Perry as the man to beat but lacks true Presidential caliber by implementing campaign techniques that may have worked for a gubernatorial election, but are coming up short for the GOP nomination.
I believe that Paulbruka makes a valid assessment, as would anyone who's watched any of the debates. Governor Perry seems unpolished and more concerned with cliche phrases and attacking Obama and Romney than addressing real issues like the economy and job creation. Last night (10/11/2011) when the debate was geared towards the nation's economy, Governor Perry displayed little to no enthusiasm and failed to represent himself as a leader who could address our economic woes. I do believe that there are some good solutions to our nation's current state within the GOP, but none of the candidates are willing to offer bold solutions in fear of violating the party's conservative nature.
I don't foresee the possibility of a brokered convention, but if it were to happen, whoever receives the nomination will surely fight an uphill battle for the Presidential nomination.
