I do not count rick perry out. $15 million is a lot of money to spend in the next little bit over two months between now and iowa. i think that cain probably lacks the organization, the foreign policy knowledge, and the message discipline to sustain this. and by the way perry has started this sort of co-op that he has his own flat tax plan that he put out yesterday. so i think it's interesting right now. it's odd. i am surprised. but i think it's going to tighten up as time goes by. >> we shall see. karen, putting on your communications strategist hat here, andrew rafferty was just telling all...
