In Iowa Paper, Perot Backs Romney

Helpful. I think Perot's still got some sway with crotchety types (i.e., disillusioned conservative-leaning independents).

erot accuses Obama of shouldering the nation with unsustainable debt: “In the last four years during Obama’s presidency, he’s added around $5 trillion to our national debt, more than any previous president.

“It is this massive deficit spending that threatens to undermine our future standard of living,” he adds.

But the Texas businessman cautioned that efforts to rein government spending should not weaken the nation’s military. “Even as we have engaged in runaway domestic spending, the country has been put on the path to massive cuts in the defense budget.

“History teaches that the price of military weakness always exceeds the price of preparedness,” Perot continues. “And yet at a moment when turbulence is sweeping critical regions of the world, we are increasingly unprepared.”

Meanwhile, in a local Iowa paper, thirteen Iowans take out a full-page ad to apologize for voting for Obama in 2008, throwing their support to Romney.

Meanwhile, in Iowa, Obama is talking about wind, and how women make good teachers.
