Well that's only because they didn't go down to .00000001% of the vote in their tally.
Otherwise he'd be right in there :^)
Agreed he’s currently not in the hunt. Allow me to clarify ... he wont be actively campaigning when we get our chance to vote ... won’t even be on the ballot.
But the Perry clingers will continue to ride him until they all collectively go broke trying to keep this zombie campaign alive.
“How did we get here?”
Everything’s upside down, isn’t it? Conservatives flocking to Romney despite the fact that he is a liberal with blood on his hands-—after the Tea Party success of 2010! And people here taking gleeful pleasure in tearing apart a solid conservative Christian. Disagreement is one thing-—but the pack mentality, the yapping and screeching like packs of hyenas toward ONE OF OUR OWN is absolutely inexplicable to me.
I have a theory, and it’s only my personal one. The country is in moral collapse; I believe God may have abandoned us to ourselves, and to the leaders we deserve.
“But that Romney has moved up this much in the southern tier is highly disturbing.”
You can say that again. All along I thought Romney didn’t have a prayer here in the South. What I’m seeing is knocking me for a loop. I wonder if this country is beyond redemption.
Kinky Friedman?
The sign it's beyond redemption is if Obama wins Texas in the general. Then, we're there... it's over.
The whole reason the Republcian establishment is promoting Romney as our candidate, is that he can attract liberal Democrats who will not support a Communist like Obama.
What you are seeing in the polls, and who are voting in these open primaries, are not just Republicans but Democrats.
Oops.
If you’re referring to Rick S, I’m a Gingrich supporter (unless Santorum finishes ahead of Gingrich in SC).
It’s embarrasing. Perry should exit gracefully and throw his support to Newt or Santorum if he believes his own rhetoric about not nominating a flawed candidate.
Perry did well last night and has found his legs lately. However, he blew his campaign when he declared he was going back to Texas to “reassess” his campaign after Iowa. That is code for “dropping out” and people summarily dismissed him. The next day, he announced it was “on to South Carolina”...but by skipping NH, he further became irrelevant. It’s a shame, too, because Perry is probably the most likable of the remaining candidates and perhaps the most conservative as well. His folksy personality would have served him well in the general election. In any case, he is done after SC...no doubt about it.
i agree, Perry had to stay in to rehabilitate his brand. I think he was on meds for the first couple of debates and it showed. Perry leaving, looking like a fool would kill any chance for 2016. Now that he has shown he is not the idiot he looked like early on he will have a chance in 2016 or 2020.
Thanks. Gov. Perry has a 60% job approval in Texas. That’s all you need to know.
You’re back-and-forth on who you support depending on how they perform. Hang on, you might get whiplash.
60% among just Republicans is terrible. Governors should have an 80-90% approval rating among their own party.
Of course. Why would I vote for a conservative who has no chance of winning over a conservative that does have a chance?
I bet Perry’s approval rating in Mexico is at 95%.
