Rick Perry 'oops' debate moment: Has it done him in ???
Rick Perry's seemingly insurmountable gaffe at Wednesday's Republican presidential debate, which reached the top of YouTube's most viewed videos on Thursday -- may not be so terribly devastating to his campaign after all.
To some political observers, the Texas governor's legendary brain freeze went down as the worst unforced error in modern debating history.

And his campaign issued a fundraising appeal, saying the 2012 hopeful has just demonstrated that the federal government is so vast and unwieldy that the most-versed politician can't keep it all straight.
"We've all had human moments. President Obama is still trying to find all 57 states. Ronald Reagan got lost somewhere on the Pacific Highway in an answer to a debate question. Gerald Ford ate a tamale without removing the husk. ... Just goes to show there are too damn many federal agencies," the campaign said in a fundraising letter, urging supporters to write it which federal agency they'd "most like to forget."
"We hope you have a long list. And we promise we will write down every last idea. So we don't forget," Team Perry wrote.
