Perry was the second candidate to make a run towards passing Romney for the GOP nomination. The public liked Perry for a few reasons. One Perry seemed to be an energetic republican, and two he was able to point to Texas' phenomenal increase in jobs. A lot of people began to jump on Perry's ferry when they heard that he was tackling unemployment, one of the biggest issues on the public's mind.
However, this shining image was quickly and easily scraped away to show that it was merely gilded, nice on the outside but ugly on the inside. The main think that brought out the first leak in the boat was his proposed legislation a while back to force young women to take a vaccine to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Recently that same drug has been found to cure a few other things as well, however because he had said that he was committed to keeping the government from controlling the lives of his citizens his enemies easily pointed this out to the general public. Coming off of this bad tasting fact Perry shows just how bad he is in the GOP debates which served to widen the ferry's leak. This series of events inevitably led to his latest blunder when he forgot the name of the final department he was going to cut as president. This hurricane turned out to be the final straw that forced everybody but Perry and a few people that don't understand his mental slowness to go down with the ship.
Perry never really had a chance. He had a background that was easily picked on by his opponents and he pressed on the gas to soon to really have any effect on the nomination's results. He now resides right around 4th place in the race ahead of Ron Paul and behind Herman Cain. If he, like Newt Gingrich, had waited to push the gas AND had he not been cursed with his past from the start he could have had a chance of defeating Romney. However, I believe right now the only position Perry has a chance of obtaining now is the one he currently holds in Texas. So, ultimately Perry's "ferry" was just a hunk of junk clunker that he'd bought from a shady dealer in a political backstreet: good for nothing.
