Rick Perry looks at his notes during a Republican Presidential Debate at Oakland University in Auburn Hills, Mich. The Republican primary campaign is already fading into memory. Remember Herman Cain's 9-9-9 tax plan? Newt Gingrich's "moon base" proposal? Or Rick Perry's "oops" moment _ when he couldn't recall that third federal agency he wanted to eliminate?
