It is interesting to me how the media can make such a big deal over a memory lapse. I'm not necessarily a Perry fan, but it is a mistake to make a candidate selection so dependent on whether a person has good media presence or whether s/he is supremely articulate.
I'm thinking that would be way down the list under things, like character, belief system, track record, education, experience, money . . . oh, no, not that last one.
If we keep going for the stars of "Dancing with the Politicians" and "America's Got Politicians," we will consistently be disappointed. Give me an ugly, competent leader with a lisp, and I'll follow him or her anywhere!
