Erick Erickson, writing on his conservative RedState blog on Monday morning, asserts that Rick Perry’s Saturday night debate performance “gets him the complete redemption he needs.”
Erickson argues that Perry’s answers about Iran, Pakistan, foreign aid and zero based budgeting should be enough to erase “one of the most embarrassing gaffes” in debate history.
As proof, he points to the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll which found that 52% of Republicans want Perry to stay in the race.
