Perry v. Romney

Now that Rick Perry has formally announced he’s running, the battle for the GOP presidential nomination comes down to either him or Mitt Romney.  I do not think Michele Bachmann has the gravitas to go the distance and will eventually drop out.  The other currently declared candidates are not going anywhere.  I don’t see Sarah Palin jumping in.  She seems to be setting herself up more as power broker than as a candidate.  Realistically then, who else is there?  Rudy Giuliani?  George Pataki?  Neither have any creditability.   That leaves Perry and Romney to duke it out.

From a RKBA standpoint, Perry is the easily the better choice.  He carries a gun himself and is not afraid to use it.

Perry is ideologically closer to the GOP base than Romney and would probably edge him out in a 2-way primary, but if Bachmann sticks around Romney could win the nomination with a plurality of the votes.  In the general election I don’t think it matters as much if it is Perry or Romney as Obama is heading towards a meltdown.
