>> good morning, gretchen, how
are you?
>> very fine.
you said a long time ago you
were supporting rick perry.
you've known him for 10 years
and you were impressed with his
tort reform in texas but why are
you keeping with him when a lot
of people say hey, you're a
business guy, too, you should be
for mitt romney.
>> well, i think that rick perry
has shown not only does he have
good ideas like the flat tax,
like regulatory reform, but he's
demonstrated in texas he knows
how to create an environment for
job creation starting with the
tort reform keeping bad taxes
away and the like.
so he's demonstrated he can
perform in the public square.
it's one thing to have an idea.
quite another to be able to
carry through an idea.
and while he's had a rough
patch so far, i think south
carolina is going to be wide
open after this mish mash in new
hampshire and has a chance to
get back in the fray again.
>> uh-huh.
what is it about mitt romney
that he fails to take on...
