"We’ve got good candidates that aren’t getting enough
airtime, I was keeping count. Rick Perry got 15 questions posed; Rick Santorum
and Herman Cain got five. I’ve been in that situation when you're stuck out on
the edge of that platform and you’re given token opportunities to respond and
it’s very difficult to break out when the press decides who is going to be in
the game and who isn’t.”
Also, he said bluntly: “Perry hurt himself a lot with his Social Security
talk and what he said may be technically true, but you go to South Florida or
even any part of Florida or even the part where I live in the panhandle where
you have a lot of retired people and essentially say that Social Security is a
criminal enterprise, that’s problematic.”
And: “Rick likes to come across as the straight-shootin,’ blunt talking
guy and that works very well in Texas and it will work very well in what I call
the hardcare center of the Republican primary. But when you have to branch out
and get to those younger voters and general election voters, I’m not sure how
it's going to play out.”
