Perry spent more than $300 per vote in Iowa; Santorum, only 73 cents

That's an interesting statistic. Now what? It means nothing, except that when the MSM roller coaster came around the track again, Santorum, the one nobody wanted to pick for their team (like his 18 point loss for his 3rd PA Senatorial term) was able to sit down for the MSM "surge" spin around the track -- keeping the conservative vote split and handing up a vulnerable conservative for Mitt to run against while sidelining Perry who is the only conservative threat to Romney and Obama.

Gov. Perry has the “right” enemies

The only enemy Perry had was himself. He was horrible at the debates and said so many stupid things both during debates and after. Nobody went after him with anything but his own words. Most people didn’t waste their time like his few fans like yourself.

lol. Perry tried to buy the election just like he has in Texas and it didn’t work. I just feel sorry for those people who sent their hard earned money to this idiot. Now he can no longer brag that he never lost an election. He was pummeled.

Gov Perry beat back RINO Kay Bailey Hutchison and the Bush-Rove Machine in their 2010 primary challenge to his third term. Then Perry went on to beat (heavily financed by trial lawyers) Democrat Bill White to win.

KBH was a weak candidate. He spent loads of money to win. It is not illegal to spend money. Heck John Edwards tried to buy the Presidency too. Some guys just do that type of thing. It happens all the time so what Perry tried to do and failed is not abnormal.

lol. I just reread the post. I guess I could have written it better. Anyway like I told some other Perry Supporters. It is in his hands and perhaps he will continue on to SC. Only he knows.

At this point Rick Perry is totally irrelevant to this election cycle.

Always with the negative vibes CB. Always anti-Perry.

If Perry is so irrelevant, surely you should feel free to move along and spread your negativity elsewhere.

I like Rick Perry but this is just not his year. He’s going to likely drop out on Thurs so the contest will probably be Newt vs Mitt in the end. I have to admit I loved watching Rick stick it to Mitt in the debates.

Yep, used that big ol’e axe to cut off his own leg so all he can do now is limp back to Texas. His funding is basically dried up along with the rest of his campaign, an embarrassing run.

How do you feel about Santorum’s chances of getting the nomination and defeating Obama?

Yeah, and he just got his butt stomped by a Liberal, a Kook, an adulterer and the guy nobody wanted.

But, wow, Perry’s the one true conservative in the race!!!

Today, I bet Perry is not irrelevant to Santorum. If Perry drops out, Santorum just had a great big block of votes dumped in his lap. Add in Bachmann's and Santorum is sitting pretty.

I wish I felt better about Santorum vs Obama. Frankly, it scares me.

Great because there will be ZERO holding their noses for anybody. That is one reason why McCain lost last time because he was not conservative. Everyone worried about Santorum’s financial situation should not worry. He spent 21,000 dollars in Iowa TOTAL. Now talk about fiscal conservative. You can win a state with 21,000 dollars. That is incredible. Perry spent the most with 4.6 million and Romney was next with 1.5 million.

Perry needs to put these people out of their misery and drop out quickly. The longer he takes the more cruel it is.
