The most inexpicable subplot of last night’s debate may have been Mitt Romney’s criticizing Rick Perry for flip-flopping on Social Security. One would think that Romney, of all candidates, would shy away from a discussion about waffling. But Perry let him get away with it:

Joseph,
Perry is a gentleman..and not a bully. He KNOWS he is going to beat Romney like a cheap drum. So why make Romney's defeat a total rout.
My only question that remains...Does Sarah step in.

Perry with pathetically stupid "have no heart" comment has just solidified his image as a dumber version of George W. Bush. When the Texas twang comes out it is bad enough but then the stuff he says in that twang is bad squared.
