If Social Security and Medicare are the third rail of American politics (touch them you die), then Rick Perry is a dead man walking. Decrying Social Security as a fraud and a Ponzi scheme, he walked into Mitt Romney's left upppercut:
“Our nominee has to be someone who isn’t committed to abolishing Social Security, but who is committed to saving Social Security,” Mr. Romney said. “I will be sure that we keep the program and make it financially secure.”So Romney will walk away with the Republican nomination. Time to start looking at a nominee for Vice President who is similarly center-right. There is only one other grown-up in the room: John Huntsman - the Mandarin-speaking Mormon former Ambassador to China. It will be a daunting lineup for Obama and Biden to face.
