Perry leaving "quirky" Iowa for South Carolina

"This is quirky place and a quirky process to say the least," Perry said of Iowa and its caucuses. "We're going to go into places where they have actual primaries and there are going to be real Republicans voting."

Great. Just great. What a comment. Someone else called Iowans “flaky.”

[tsowellfan]

At this point he’s only helping Romney

[Kenny]

Hope he goes after Obama now. I’d love to see our guys doing damage to O instead of each other.

That’s when Newt was doing so well, when he refused to go after the other candidates and pounded Obama. That’s what the people want to see is how these guys will take Obama on.

It will put Rick back on the map if he changes strategy and talks like the nominee instead of a candidate. Think big, Governor.

I say, I say, boy, that perry fellow is as sharp as a Q ball.

How dare La Raza Rick call a state that voted for a true conservative like Rick Santorum “not real Republicans”.

Just go away with your 5th place ribbon, Ricardo.

Hmmm. I guess he should have said so when he was glad-handing and grab-assing around with those "quirky" folks at the Iowa State Fair this summer.

If I vote for "Massengil" on the ballot, does Perry automatically get the write in vote or would it go to Obama?

You know what’s quirky? Perry, addressing Iowans last night reading a letter from a follower telling him what a great man he is.

You know who’s still a scam artist after Iowa? Rick Perry. On to SC. Fraud Part Deux.

"Just go away with your 5th place ribbon, Ricardo."

They are worse than quirky. They continue to elect that hateful Tom Harkin to the Senate.

That was seriously weird, made me feel uncomfortable just watching it.

[napscoordinator]

I wonder how “quirky” Iowa would have been if he had won.

[Farmer Dean]

Perry wouldn’t be saying this if he had won Iowa.

Rick requires regular stroking, even if he has to do it himself.

[Cicero]

Sounds like Soreloserman.

[w1andsodidwe]

I was at a Meet and Greet with him Thursday night. He was incoherent when he needed to cite any numerical data. He is just not ready for prime time. A nice guy, but just lucky to come in 5th.

[trumandogz]

Perry’s only hope is to place better than 5th in the Paint Creek Caucus.

[Lazlo in PA]

If the place is so quirky, why did you drop close to 6 million dollars there? He even outspent Mittens and came up a zero. This is just a silly thing to say if one hopes to sway voters in a General election.

Any state that lets anyone come in register and vote at the same time in a Republican election is "quirky".
