Halperin's Take
We've now had a significant series of national polls showing Perry and Romney at roughly the same level of support. The real danger for Romney will come if Perry's standing ticks up in the hypothetical match-up with Obama. That would push some bundlers (and electability-minded voters) towards the Texan.
