Asked in the Fox News debate if he could stand up to President Obama, Perry replied: ‘I’m getting to like these debates. I’ll debate Obama and I’ll get there early. I’ll talk about what we did in texas.’
Perry then compared himself to Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, someone who people doubted but has been successful: ‘Tebow won two national championships. We’re the national champions in job creation. I hope we’re the Tebow of the Iowa caucuses.’
