Perry works to show he's strongest contender
Texas Governor Rick Perry campaigned in Florida to prove he remains the top GOP contender despite a shaky debate. He finished second to Herman Cain at the Presidency 5 straw poll in Orlando, with Cain at 37.1 percent, Romney 14 percent, and Santorum 10.88 percent. Perry debated, faced questions over immigration and vaccine issues, and highlighted competitiveness with Chris Christie's potential entry.
