Reason...

[Kenny]

Both Sarah Palin and Mark Levin urged all candidates to stay in for now. Sarah said we need to know more before anyone drops out. Mark said it’s still early.

So what is with all this pressure for Perry to drop? Newt can do it alone, he’s surging and Romney’s tanking.

Listen to Sarah & Mark, they’re the smartest ones in the room.

[Cicero]

It depends why he’s running, I guess. There has been some speculation that he may be working as a spoiler for Romney and the Establishment, in hopes of future reward. No idea if that is true. I hope not, because this whole business has been getting more and more dismal, with even RuPaul managing to cause more trouble than usual.

We’ll see. If he selfishly stays in despite having no chance, it sure won’t do his reputation any good. And I think he is diminishing his reputation in Texas by doing this, too. Kay Bailey Hutchinson pretty well destroyed her rep in Texas by going more and more RINO over the years. Let’s hope Perry doesn’t try the same ploy. It won’t work for him.

RINOS Call on Rick Perry to Exit Race.

There, fixed it...........

[vicar7]

Eric was so in the tank for Perry initially and so Anti-Palin it is nice to see him eating humble pie.

[CainConservative]

Erickson KNOWS Perry. Call him up and git r done, Scott!!

[Hugin]

I was an early supporter of Perry, but it's way past time for him to leave. Both Ricks are putting ego ahead of the good of the country, but at least Santorum has some reason to believe he could pull off a miracle upset. Perry is clearly dead in the water. If Myth wins SC by a margin less than the votes for Perry I will never forgive Perry.

[freekitty]

Eric Erickson is a RINO. Stay in Perry.

[Tribune7]

I think conservatives should vote for Newt in S.C. but I don't think Perry should leave the race.

I still wouldn't be surprised if Perry is the last man standing.

He doesn't have the personnel baggage Newt had and he doesn't have the political baggage Santorum has.

The downside is he isn't a good speaker although he did pretty well at Mrytle Beach.

I do fear a Newt implosion.

[DoughtyOne]

I’m not convinced we should have primaries any longer.

We work for months to put these dog and pony shows on, watch one open caucus and one primary, and then announce who the leader is.

What a sham this process is.

It looks for all the world like we’re going to have another di—weed this time around. I may not even vote for the jackass we’re headed towards.

Give me a choice folks. Let’s go third party in 2013. The Republican party has proven it has nothing at all to offer us.

[Apollo5600]

As for Red State, I stopped reading them when they were all too happy to harp on the Herman Cain hit job. Erickson is a fool who doesn’t understand the candidates or himself.

[Brookhaven]

Good reason.

Everyone knows the Perry campaign is over. At this point I think Even Perry knows it. He’s just staying in to show he’s a guy that doesn’t quit when the going gets tough.

But, another masculine quality is self sacrifice. If Perry would frame it that he’s getting out for the greater good, he come out of this a winner.

If he gets creamed in SC & Fla, what does it really gain him?

[Jim Robinson]

Conservatives unite to defeat the establishment RINOs and the Marxist!!

Romney is simply a big government, business as usual RINO and that’s why the establishment RINOs are trying to shove him down our throats. They want to hold on to their power!!

The media and the demoncrats love Romney too, because they believe he will lose to the Marxist, and he will.

If conservatives remain split three ways it’ll be a repeat of 2008 and the establishment RINO Romney waltzes in (and loses to Obama a la McLame).

We are the resistance!!

We are the grassroots!!

Don’t let the establishment and the Marxist have their way with us!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

NO RINOS!! NO ROMNEY!! NO WAY!!

NOT ON OUR WATCH!!

TEA PARTY CONSERVATIVES UNITE!!

[magritte]

Wait, wasn’t it just last week that everyone on this board HATED Erik Erikson and Redstate?

[trumandogz]

Perry polling at 4% is not a factor and it does not matter if he stays in or drops out.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Perry got 2% in NH.

[Arcy]

I've been calling for Perry to drop out since the day after he got in the race; well not quite, but I was never excited about his entry. Perry needs to endorse Newt and then get on the next bus back to Tayhas! He has NO chance of winning this election! This country doesn't want another George W. Bush. I for one want someone who can articulate what conservatism is and do so with less than 4-seconds between each word when he does it. Don't talk to me about Perry not being Bush - because that's exactly who he is. I'm sorry if you don't see it. Most conservatives will NEVER support Perry over the other conservative candidates like Newt or Santorum. If Perry continues this charade, it will only increase our chances of getting Mittens as our candidate - puke!

[Taking Congress back in 2010]

Perry doesn’t know the meaning of the word quit.....or a lot of other words either.

[RasterMaster]

What, they couldn’t find divorce records to have a court unseal? Only LIEberals don’t like competiton.

[sergeantdave]

Give me a break. Red state? That snake and traitor who runs a RINO operation?

http://www.redstate.com/neoavatara/2011/12/30/why-i-reluctantly-will-endorse-mitt-romney/

My choice for President is Mitt Romney... Blah! Blah! Blah!

[tsowellfan]

Remember how we got McCain?

Happened in SC... I believe.

Candidates either run out of money or the endorsements go to the front runner along with the big donors.

It IS possible that Romney becomes the default nominee.

Remember McCain.

(whenever I think about Romney I see McCain standing... to the far right)
