Why are Conservatives asking Perry to quit? I don’t hear any clamor for Ron Paul to quit.
Ron Paul is sorta like a chia pet... Fun to watch the green sprouts grow, and not much chance to have a significant impact if he does quit.
Ron Paul is a fluke and he obviously is not going to get the nomination; in fact, I expect him to drop out pretty soon. He shouldn’t even have been permitted to run in GOP primaries because he would probably not subscribe to a single item on the platform.
That said, Perry has such a tiny percentage of the vote that I really don’t see that he matters that much. I don’t see why he’s staying in, but on the other hand, I don’t see that it matters much if he drops out.
To me, Santorum - who has no future nationally and won only because Romney released ugly, nearly libellous ads against Gingrich just before the caucus date - is the one who should decide that he needs to spend more time with his family.
While I would MUCH rather see Paul drop out, he seems to have much more support than Perry. I think most of Paul’s support is stoners surfing the web and thinking he will legalize.

You don’t argue with a crazy person. Ron’s base is truther liberals disrupting the Republican party. He knows it, we know it, he knows we know it. What’s the point of asking him to quit?
Ego a huge part of the equasion, of course. We saw that with the humble Herman Cain; who in the end; proved to be; much less than. . .
Amazing the seduction of power; when sought; tasted. . .gotten close to. Particularly vulnerable, of course; are those; who come from humble beginnings; those not used to the 'trappings' of power. (I think of Bill Clinton and of course; the one who suffers from the most pathological bond to power - in the person of Obama.)
Stay in, Rick! You’re showing that you’re a fighter and every debate is better. Now is not the time to fold. We’ve only had two primaries, the entire rest of the country might like to have a say.
Because they’re not conservatives. They’re in favor of a DC insider taking the nomination and losing to Barry.
Stay in Rick Perry!

Ron Paul is in the race for two reasons, to promote libertarianism and to be a spoiler. He never actually planned to win and so any attempts to get him to quit will never work.
Rick Perry on the other hand, entered to win and so given he has almost zero shot, he should just quit.
