Rick Perry, realizing he "don't talk good," may decide to skip future debates. How...Presidential of him?

Apparently this is not the first time Perry has refused to debate.

There appears to be consensus in the Rick Perry campaign that skipping some future debates may be the best strategy for the Texas governor. 

In an interview Wednesday with CNN's John King, Perry's communications director Ray Sullivan said it would be impossible for Perry to participate in all of the remaining debates scheduled to take place before the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses. 

"There have been eight Republican debates, we've done five," Sullivan said. "There are somewhere around 18 debates pending. There is no way to do all of them, particularly as the elections are rapidly approaching in Iowa and New Hampshire." 

Earlier in the day, another Perry spokesman, Mark Miner, made a similar comment to Politico, saying that with primaries and caucuses around the corner, "you have to use your time accordingly." 

Perry, who frequently self-deprecates his skills as a debater, on Tuesdaytold Bill O'Reilly that he might have made a mistake participating in the debates because they were designed to spur fighting among the candidates. In his campaigns for Texas governor, Perry was known for ducking debates. Perry and his advisers are chafing over the time debate preparations are taking for him chance to interact with voters -- or donors. 

Both Miner and Sullivan said that Perry would participate in the next debate, set for Nov. 9 in Michigan. But afterwards, neither advisor is making promises about where Perry will or won't participate.

So essentially Perry is taking a page right out of he Sarah Palin "playbook for success."

I believe it says on page one: "Avoid standing next to more competent politicians on the stage, and discussing things you simply will NEVER understand. But if you have no choice, make sure to wink a lot and call them 'Joe'."

Lets' face it Perry, who barely has a chance NOW of beating Romney, will have NO chance if he drops out of the debates early. I mean come on, he should at least go down fighting!

What do they say in Texas? Oh yeah, "Remember the Alamo!"

It kind of shames the memories of those fine, brave, testosterone driven Texans, who refused to surrender right up until a Mexican bayonet plunged through their breastbone, for Rick Perry to go hide under his bed at the thought of having to stand on a stage and explain to the American people that he is NOT just a dipshit from Texas, and that if they will give him the chance he can lead this country with the same competence on display during the George W. Bush administration.

And who doesn't want to see a return to that?

Besides, how bad was Perry's debate performance really?

You know, maybe Perry has a point.
