As Perry Rises, G.O.P. Elite Look Toward Romney

TAMPA, Fla. The rising presidential candidacy of Gov. Rick Perry of Texas
is stirring excitement for many Republican voters but is creating unease
in some quarters of the partys establishment, particularly over his views
of Social Security, which are at the root of an intensifying competition
with Mitt Romney.
.
The decision on Monday by Tim Pawlenty, a former Republican presidential
rival, to support Mr. Romneys campaign signals the beginning of an effort
by some party leaders to try to slow the ascent of Mr. Perry or to push
him to explain positions that are considered provocative.
.
In announcing his endorsement on Monday, Mr. Pawlenty said he believed Mr.
Romney was the only candidate with the unique qualifications to confront
and master our severe economic predicament. The judgment of Mr. Pawlenty,
who dropped out of the presidential race last month, was carefully watched
by some Republicans because he knows both men well.
.
The endorsement was a visible marker in a quietly continuing battle for
the soul and direction of the Republican Party between traditional party
leaders and grass-roots conservatives. To some degree it is a clash of
styles and of principle versus pragmatism, but it also encompasses foreign
and domestic policy differences, some of which have surfaced as the
presidential campaign has intensified.
.
The comments Mr. Perry has made about Social Security questioning its
financial footing and its constitutionality were at the center of a
Republican presidential debate here Monday night.
.
The intense focus on the topic has caused anxiety among some Republicans
working to win a Senate majority and keep control of the House next year.
.
The people who are on Social Security today, they need to understand
something, Mr. Perry said at the outset of a contentious exchange at the
debate. Slam-dunk guaranteed. That program is going to be there for them
when they arrive there.
.
Over and over again, Mr. Romney directed questions directly at his rival:
Do you still believe that Social Security should be ended as a federal
program like you did six months ago?
.
The balancing act between the Republican establishment and the activists
who have gained prominence in the Tea Party movement has been unfolding
for nearly two years, testing a party that wants to corral its enthusiasm
without alienating moderate voters. But the 2012 campaign is the first
presidential race to take place since the Tea Party began influencing the
composition of the Republican electorate.
.
While many party leaders are taking a wait-and-see approach before
choosing sides in the presidential primary, Republican advisers to House
and Senate campaigns said they were not eager for Social Security to
become a central theme in their races next year.
