I know there's virtually no chance that the American people will start to think for themselves and give Perry a second look. I know that but I'm disappointed because I think Perry is the only one I'd trust to do what he says. The only one I trust to defeat Obamacare and trim goverment in a substantial way. It's so sad that we choose our elected officials by debates or sound bites and not look at their record, their actual accomplishments.
All that said, Perry isn't hurting Newt or helping Romney, Paul and Santorum are. That's the way the game's played though so not much to be done. Wait and see I guess.
I don’t believe Perry likes or will endorse Romney (unless that’s who ends up nominated), but think Santorum will. However, BOTH are drawing votes away from Newt by staying in - particularly Perry.
