"OOPS" IS PREPARED?

I find this claim in a POLITICO story very hard to believe:

Perry’s communications director Ray Sullivan, one of the Texas loyalists, said in an interview that he did not want to engage in arguments over what he called “tactical decisions,” but he did offer a broad defense of the early organization against the charges that they were running a White House campaign that was better suited for a governor’s race.

“We took the debates and debate preparations very seriously and we had and have a robust earned media operation,” said Sullivan. “That’s because the campaign was made up of experienced professionals who had done multiple presidential campaigns. This has always been a serious, organized, aggressive campaign operation.”
