"Perry is off to a strong start. Recall that this was supposed to be Michele Bachmann’s week, when her upstart victory in the Ames straw poll catapulted her onto the front pages and the top tier of the GOP field. Instead, Perry stole Bachmann’s thunder, and dominated the political conversation." – Marc Thiessen. It's true that Perry "dominated" the conversation, but not all domination is good domination. Given his views on torture, though, I'm not sure Thiessen is aware of that fact.
