I am in no way a Perry supporter but I do think this was the right decision. It may be purely a political decision... but he is Governor today and he should be at the helm of his state during this kind of disaster. He is doing what any Governor should do... and although I am not a big supporter of my Governor Haley Barbour... there is no doubt in my mind that he would have made the same decision. Now some pos like cuomo or obama would have to focus group a decision like this. That would take a day or two... luntz takes time to work his trade.

I believe the fires have been going on long before he tossed his hat in the ring in an effort to dampen the Ames poll.

He didn’t give a crap about his home state then—it was all about him just like the move to appear “presidential” now.

Spot on. He’s still a sitting governor and retains all those duties despite his running.

Plus, it’s smart politics. He’s in the lead - stay above the fray. It’ll kill Romney.
