Talking to the Des Moines Register ed board, Rick Perry says,

I readily admit our campaign didn’t go as smoothly and positively as I’d have liked, and errors I’ve made whether on the debate or what have you. I’ve asked Americans to give me a second look. Have a look at my policies, and those weren’t laid out till mid-September and at that point we were falling in the polls. But I really think Iowans and Americans are taking another look, and they’re finding out about me. The reason I was the new kid on the block was because I didn’t see anyone the Republican voters were really excited about and I was the one they became really excited about… for a while.”
