Wow. Didn't think of that. She fought for her candidate like no other person here at FR. I will miss the constant Perry posting, but it didn't look good for Perry continuing after tonight. The letter reading seemed too sentimental to rally supporters to the next state. My condolences.

That's how I feel. I've never seen somebody as devoted to Perry as she was. I may disagree with her, and I may poke fun at her attempts to spin Perry's negatives, but she has stayed true to him, even when a lot of FReepers dumped Perry for Cain and then Gingrich.

I think I confused her after she realized I wasn't really that devoted to any particular candidate - I've been disappointed too many times over the decades when I devoted myself to a particular candidate to want to hitch my wagon to one horse and ride them till they drop.

It’s been a constant thing on Free Republic and apparently with Republicans.

Constant infatuation with a particular candidate; say, Sarah Palin (yes, I was guilty there); disappointment when they didn’t run; quickly transferring love to another... mostly Cain. He proved unworthy, but the devotion here was a little scary. Then the Palin/Cain/? crowd switched to Newt.

What happened to Newt? I still don’t know. He was riding high but some negative ads took him down. I like Newt and was well aware of his negatives but thought his positives overcame them.

Now, it looks like the Newt people may be switching to Santorum because Iowa caucused at just the right time for him. Santorum is not our best bet to beat Obama.

Someone accused me of sour grapes, but I don’t think so.

Disappointment that Perry didn’t do better, but the Santorum grapes have been sour all along.

This race is so volatile and changeable, I hope Perry stays in. His time may come.

The libs and press will now concentrate on taking down Santorum. Does he have the fight to overcome it?

Maybe, but I’m not seeing it.

I’ve been for Rick Perry all along since he declared.
