Rick Perry said Thursday "it ain't a day for quitting nothing" after his big "oops" during the Republican presidential debate the night before.
"Oh, shoot, no," the Texas governor said Thursday morning during a series of media appearances, when asked if his debate gaffe would propel him to pull out of the race.
On Wednesday, Perry was on stage with rivals Herman Cain and Mitt Romney in Rochester, Mich., when the debate sponsored by CNBC turned into a comedy of errors.
Perry was discussing the three government departments he wanted to cut but forget one of them in a major flub that left some of his supporters declaring his campaign was over.

Oh goodness.
If anyone was under pressure last night it had to be Herman Cain.
Now, can Perry supporters lend some slack to Herman Cain?
Herman said openly he doesn’t remember a woman from 14 years ago.
Perry gets a pass on not remembering what agencies he wanted to eliminate 24 hours ago in his prep notes?
This is why Obama uses a teleprompter.
Gaffe everyone in the 57 states has some.
Debate Moderator: Question for you, Former Speaker Gingrich. What's your biology term paper on?
Newt: Juxtabronchial organ secretions in the higher mollusks.
Debate Moderator: And you, Gov. Perry?
Perry: Our Friend the Beaver.
Cheers!
If one of the GOP nominees went on dancing with the freaking stars they would win.
He is garnering more support today just by being the underdog. He will be the GOP nominee.
Wow. You do live in a fantasy world. It actually is probably a nice place to be where everything is happy and fun. This is politics a nasty process. He is DONE!!!
I don't see how this is any worse than "Defined Benefits", and "You go first, Newt"
Well, if you're pretty confident of that, then here's your chance to get rich quick.
Vegas will give you a 500% - 700% return if you put your money on Perry to win the nomination.
Where to place your bet if your sure your Candidate will be the nominee
If it was just the one time, it’d be different. Perry fumbles way more than he scores. And that’s just on the campaign trail.
Read up on his crony-cap history. Cintra is a doozie.
Start counting the hits on Youtube already, especially after the late night talk show hosts hit him over it.
Even more are watching Dancing with the stars.....
I’m a Cain guy who is starting to consider Newt as well.
As far as Perry, I wonder if the pain meds he’s probably taking for his recent back surgery are messing him up.
Disagree imagine it was the idiot in the wh who looked like a deer in the headlights
And that, my friends, is why Tom Delay was convicted. )
Agreed but no one on that stage is worse than obama(paul is not considered)
You the pope? Or maybe Thomas S. Monson? Or someone else who says that they have direct conversations with God?
It’s amazing how many Texans are feigning ignorance as to how Perry operates.
Perry didn’t start running for prez until the math assured him he could win it. Zero won the presidency in ‘05 or ‘06, he just had to wait for the election to ‘validate’ it.
He went on Fox this morning, had a good interview. Said he will be in Saturday’s debate on National security and foreign policy. He was looking forward to it. Used to be an Air Force pilot.
After stage 1 denial comes stage 2 anger. Only 3 more stages to go. Perry is a great man but the vetting process has determined he is not going to be our next POTUS. Like you I wish he could have won this, but it's obvious now it's not going to happen. He should stay in the race though, relax, be himself, and have some fun shooting RINOs.
