Rick Perry in Damage Control Mode

Hosted by

During debates with other Republican presidential candidates, Texas Governor Rick Perry has been plagued by verbal gaffes and other mistakes. Last night in Michigan, it got worse than ever, when Perry said that, as President, he would eliminate three federal departments – but then blanked and couldn't name the third. Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, recalls other memorable gaffes and their impact on other political races.
