Of course not every candidate fails to rattle off one of their main talking points of the campaign.
And it will take a lot more than one brain freeze to make a human out of Perry.

1. It probably guarantees his nomination, given the Republican Party.

Remember Bush claiming Jesus was his favorite philosopher in a debate? Or getting caught lying about books he claimed he read? Or not knowing key world leaders?

Republicans love stupidity. Perry's a lock.

2. But shouldnt we expect our Presidential candidates to be a higher level than the rest of us.

Clearly Perry is a mediocre human from Texas... not really POTUS material.
