Perry will Return to Texas and Assess Moving Forward

[coffeewithgames]

Just in his speech tonight, still talking, but sounds like he may consider dropping out now. Interesting.

Put a fork in him...

 

[UtahApocalypse]

Yep... he is done. you could tell by the tone and wording of the speech

 

[JPriest91]

Honestly I'll tell you, he was a big threat here in SC. This is good news.

 

[green73]

Endorse Paul! Come on, you can do it!

 

[colbyhowell]

I can guarantee you he endorses Ron Paul. The Texan/Fed/States rights will lean to Ron. He respects Ron. An endorsement would do a lot for his image here in Texas as well.

 

[Eric21ND]

He will drop out now.

Talking heads on MSNBC were saying Perry would wait to see who's going to win, and endorse them in order to further his own political career. Though, ideologically he should endorse Paul. He was talking about the 10th amendment in his promotional speech at the caucus. He's talked about the Fed and cutting departments. Seems logical to endorse Paul, if he has the slightest bit of integrity.

I sure hope so. I also hope he does this before South Carolina. I have my doubts though.

Isn't he allowed to transfer funds to another candidate if he drops out?

Yes.

 

[Paulitics 2011]

Don't count on it, guys.

 

[Badger Paul]

Buh-bye!

 

[RKoho]

During one of the debates he thanked Ron for teaching him about the Federal Reserve so maybe he will endorse.

I've always held that as far as fiscal conservatism goes, Perry was the second choice in this group. Who else is talking about real cuts to the size of government (other than Paul, of course)?

If Perry had beat Gingrich tonight, I think he'd have sounded like he had more fight in him. It really is a lot of work to run for president and he is still a sitting governor that would be distracted by hard races in South Carolina and Florida.

Who knows, he may stay in, but normally a candidate that wants to continue does not leave any ambiguity about it. Even Mitt Romney sounded like he wanted to keep going after Super Tuesday 2008 ... yet he chose gracefully to withdraw a few days later at CPAC.

I would NOT count on Perry endorsing Ron. I think he will be coy with his endorsement and wait for a two man race to emerge, then endorse the one that appears to have the momentum and GOP insider support.

Plus, I sense that Perry strongly dislikes Romney based on their exchanges in the debates.

He should see that RP is the only one with the infrastructure to take on Romney in the long haul, BUT his Texas lobbyists friends aren't going to like Paul.

Paul doesn't bail out, doesn't give out free money.
