Don't all elected officials implicitly promise to finish out a term to anything they are elected to? Americans are used to this, heck if Sarah Palin can do it why can't Rick Perry?

Exactly Artemis.

So I never want to read of or hear of Perry or a Perry supporter ever criticizing Sarah Palin for “quitting”.

He served two full terms and will have served most of his third. Palin quit half way through her first. There is a bit of a difference there, wouldn’t you agree?
