Why perry wont win

Marco Rubio of Florida, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker jump in. But if he runs, Perry would presumably enter the race at a much earlier date and wouldn't be fighting high expectations, which were placed on his candidacy from the start last time. But should you rule it out completely? The benefit of experience for candidates that have gone through the brutality of the process is a crucial advantage.
