After Poor Debates, Perry May Skip Some In Future

After poor debates, Perry may skip some in future

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Rick Perry may skip some upcoming GOP presidential debates, sidestepping a campaign staple that hasn't been kind to the Texas governor in his first two months on the national stage. It's a decision that ultimately could cause other Republicans to bow out of the more than half-dozen face-offs scheduled between now and the Iowa caucuses on Jan.

Senh: What a wimp. Especially since he's behind, he needs all the attention he can get. Now's not the time to quit. Otherwise, it's just gonna be Mitt Romney. It seems like these campaigns favor the talkers rather than the do-ers. Could Rick Perry just be a bad talker, but a guy who can get stuff done? Is Mitt Romney a smooth talker who doesn't have a track record? If I have to pick one, I would rather get someone who can get the job done.
