I wish he had gotten traction, but good decision. Any word on endorsements?

[montanajoe]

Good news if true. I’d like to see Perry as Secretary of Defense in Newt’s administration.

[Grunthor]

Praise God and thank you Governor. It’s only in the mid-single digits but every little bit helps.

[cotton1706]

Thank you, Vice-President Perry!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I guess that means he won’t be in the debate tonight.

[CaptainK]

F Chuck Todd on MSNBC is calling it chatter. Won’t make the call yet.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Now being reported on Foxnews. What a shame!

[RobertClark]

A good decision by Perry. I like him, and will support his future aspirations. This just is not the time.

Newt is the man for the task at hand. Let's get this done.

[KansasGirl]

God Bless Governor Perry! He is a good man and would have been an excellent President! I hope he endorses Newt!

[w1andsodidwe]

Great news. I attended a Rick Perry meet and greet when in Iowa for the holidays. He is a great man with great ideas, but just not polished yet. I think he would make a great vice president and in 8 years the polish should be there. It is the right decision.

[Night Hides Not]

The clock’s winding down on the Mittster.

[varina davis]

If true, it’s the nation’s loss. Godspeed Governor in whatever path you choose.

[GOPyouth]

I've been one of the biggest backers of Perry on FR, and I agree with this decision. It was time, and he was correct to do it before Saturday.

Rick Perry is an honorable man, loves God, loves Texas, and loves his country. I'm proud that he's my governor.

[Museum Twenty]

As a Perry supporter, I was saddened to see a lack of improvement in the polling numbers, particularly after his excellent performance in the last debate.

If he drops out, I hope for a long battle between Mitt & Newt, and a miracle at a brokered convention.

[StAnDeliver]

Hmmm...

[exit82]

Rick Perry has shown himself to be a statesman.

He has subjugated his aspirations to the good of America.

Romney cannot be the nominee.

Rick has done the right and noble thing.Dropping out on Sunday would do nothing for Gingrich, nor stop Romney.

Newt will not forget this.

And neither will millions of conservatives.

[commish]

So, maybe we are seeing the formation of a Gingrich-Perry ticket with Palin as Sec of Energy.

[Arcy]

YES!

[LuvFreeRepublic]

To Perry supporters, my heart goes out to you. Palin fans and Cain fans know how you feel. For what it is worth, I hate Michele B. for what she did to Perry. I hope her political career is over and I hope this is the start of bigger things for Perry.

Thanks to the many Perry fans who were ‘normal’. To the Perry fans that were a bit difficult, if forgive you ;-)

He is a good man, sincere and Conservative.

That he isn’t the best candidate or conservative is irrelevant. He certainly has leadership skills.

He would be an asset to any administration, a great personaility, far better than the boring suits in power now.
