The Big Conversation:
Rick Perry's poll numbers remain stagnant, but in new internal data, his campaign may see reason for hope.
Newsmax, the conservative magazine and website, reported late Tuesday that new polling data prepared for the Perry campaign shows that the governor could perform better in next month's crucial Iowa caucuses than polls (and pundits) have presaged.

Jeez, why am I not surprised? The Tribune writers and editors continue to register their left of center bent by tagging people and publications with ideological labels, but only when they are conservative. I suppose your readers are being warned that they are in danger of being fed lies and misinformation from these nasty trogs. In this article Newsmax is called conservative for no discernible reason, but the New York Times and Politico are not placed in any catagory. Of course, both are widely known to be liberal publications. Why don't you just drop the labels unless they are absolutely necessary? And then, tag 'em all, liberal and conservative if it serves to clarify a position or point of view.

Newsmax, the vehicle for TeaBaggers, shows what about Perry? OMG. ROTFLMFAO. I allowed emails from Newsmax for a short time just to see how truly sick the other side is, and I couldn't take it. So totally filled with lies, deceit, b.s. Odd the Texas Tribune feels like quoting a rag like that!
