I don't think I've ever had a problem with politicians shooting themselves in the foot.

Less than that, I think. And by doing that, Perry ensures that he's relegated to the back.

It's kind of funny, it sometimes seen like it's a race to the back. I was reading today that a Tea Party group has said that Bachman should resign as she's putting her personal agenda in the forefront claiming it's the TP agenda.

It really is a race to the back, then, isn't it? They still have to tack to the farthest right to get through the primary, but then they've basically screwed themselves for the general. Or so we would assume.
