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.

This was a very “Gentlemanly” thing to do. I agree with you.

Hopefully he will have a high post in the NEW ADMINISTRATION, and in 8 years will run for President again.

I just told my husband how much I hate politics. I hate the games and ugliness.

But what I do love is when people who genuinely love this country lay down their own ambitions for her sake. Newt had said before that if he didn’t win SC he would throw his support behind another conservative to make sure we get a conservative candidate. Perry didn’t say that out loud but it appears that it’s what he’s going to do. Regardless of any bad blood between the candidates, those who are patriots enough to put the country first have my deep respect and thanks.

Perry is an honorable man. A godly man and a manly man who is willing to stand up for his country. I, too, wish he had been able to gain traction. And if Newt had taken a hit because of the ex maybe Perry would have risen, but he must have decided it was time to have ANY conservative rather than letting the establishment and leftist media choose Romney for us.

If the leftist media showing their hand and their spite causes the conservatives to coalesce and rise to the challenge, then maybe the leftist media can realize just how much a big portion of the public despises them as the prostitutes they are and that their manipulation will always backfire. I hope and pray that will be the case.

I concur with everything you said. I am glad to have him as governor. Looks like it’s Newt or bust!

I sure don’t think it’s all over for Perry. He can throw his hat into the ring again in the future, he’s a possible VP candidate, or even a cabinet slot.

This wasn’t the year for Perry....first he was up against mighty Mittens. Then he had the other candidates surging and falling, sucking out his oxygen. For sure the media didn’t want Perry.

This action alone will bode well for his political future, not badly at all.

Could not have said it any better than this. Thank you and thanks for trying, Gov. Perry. I know your heart was in the right place.

I don't think he has any interest in being Vice President and really has no thirst for living in Washington D.C. Texas will be firmly in GOP hand this November so it would not make sense to nominate him for VP either. The Veep should be someone who can provide a boost in battleground states.
