Comeback?

Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour has a little advice for the Republican voters, it’s a mistake to write off Rick Perry.

“I think people make the mistake of writing off Rick Perry and believe he can’t come back.  He’s got a mountain to get over, but I don’t think it’s impossible.  Both Newt and Romney have a lot of support, but I don’t think it’s a two-man race.  I think Perry could get back in it with Gingrich and Romney.”

Rick Perry is definitely not giving up; he’s made big comebacks before.  Just last year he was down 20 points to Kay Bailey Hutchison in the Texas Republican Governor’s primary.  Perry came back to win that race 51% to 30%.

The question is, are voters in Iowa and South Carolina willing to give Rick Perry a second look?

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. - Ephesians 6: 12-13
