Yeah, whatever happened to "going home to Texas to consider if there's a way forward" for his candidacy? Not twelve hours after he made that statement, he was all giddyup to go to South Carolina.
I wondered last night, if he didn't get a phone call from the RINO establishment, begging him to stay in long enough to split the conservative vote in S.C.
With his dismal showing in the polls over the last six months, his awful performances in the debates and on the campaign trail, and his poor fifth place showing in the Iowa caucus, what conceivable reason can he have for continuing on at this point?
Color me highly skeptical.
Perry has already bought AIRTIME in South Carolina to attack Romney with prior to the Iowa Caucus. He needs to use it. And use it well.
Perry can attack Romney in Saturday’s debate. Good for him that he is staying in to attack Romney. He currently has the most thriving economy of any State in the Nation and he gets to trash Romney Saturday night and also in South Carolina where he already has the air time for Romney attack ads. Romney started it, now Conservatives get to finish it.
Because he lives (and may politically die) by the creed that's been deeply ingrained in us since we were knee-high to an armadillo: Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!
It's stupid; I know. And hard to explain.
