When you are responding live to questions regularly in a campaign, you will make mistakes. It didn't hurt Obama, it won't hurt Perry. What will hurt Perry is that he doesn't appear to really be in the campaign.....and is probably in 4th or 5th right now. There will be plenty of time to address his failings, IF he ever reaches the top again.
