Yayy!!! And I just got a phone call from my 2L daughter in law school that she landed a summer associate job offer - not easy these days of extreme competition -

I have been overdue for some good news so I am very pleased about the Perry endorsement!!! Perry will go on to be a real asset for the republicans...

I held my nose and voted for McCain because I knew what a disaster Obama and a supermajority Dem House and Senate would be while you folks whined, pissed and moaned and sat it out thus letting the worst happen.

I won’t be holding my nose this time around. It is your turn to hold your noses.

When election day comes for the first time in my life I will not be voting for anyone for President. Because in the end it will be either Romney or Obama. They are the same poison-one will just kill off the country faster then the other. If you think that Gingrich will last another 90 days you are sorely mistaken-the man has a closet full of skeletons and the MSM is going to drag them all out one by one.

Gov. Perry throws his support behind Gingrich... Good.

Rumors that Perry “will head up a 10th Amendment project for Speaker Gingrich to rally Governors and state legislators toward a plan of devolving power from Washington”... AWESOME if true.

Time to DERAIL THE ROMNEY TRAIN.

Santorum supporters need to understand that his excellent pro-life views are really the only thing he has going for him. Abortion is huge, but America is facing a Clear and Present Danger that Santorum doesn’t appear ready or able to face.

I wasn’t comfortable with Perry as President, but always thought he should have a prominent role in the Gingrich administration. I could see him as a great Secretary of Defense. That is an area of expertise he has always known well and loved.

As long as I am wishing, Herman Cain would be a great Treasury Secretary or head of the Fed. He would clean house!

People should do what they are best at and serve with their own special gifts. I am grateful to Governor Perry for going for the 10th Amendment. It is vitally important work.

Thank you Lord. Let’s hope this is the turnaround we have been looking for.

May God grant us strength and wisdom.

Perry is a good man who did the right thing, and I hope we have not heard the last of him on the national scene. He learned a lot and really found his stride in the past month or so, but there can only be one nominee.

Texans are fortunate to have a man like Perry as Governor. (Wanna trade?)

Now it’s time for Santorum to consider his options.

but, but, but......Perry is nothing but a stalking-horse for Romney.

Hopefully, this will put that idiocy to rest.....maybe.

Classy move by the guy I feel has the best plan to truly resore limited government.

I wouldn’t be so down on Drudge. I think he forced ABCs hand on this ex-wife thing by leaking it beforehand. Anyone who believes that ABC News was truly having an “ethical debate” about running the interview is terminally naive. The only debate they had was over WHEN to run it in order to damage Newt the most.

I’ll believe that Newt Gingrich is a serious candidate if he has Marianne Gingrich’s endorsement. One thing I do think though is that if Callista Gingrich ever becomes First Lady that she’ll definitely need prayers for good health. Things haven’t turned out well for the fairytale weddings of Mrs. Gingrich’s past who have health problems.

I am a big Perry supporter and am disappointed that not enough people would vote for him. Perry has proven to be a conservative based on his record of governing. Do not be satisfied with what a candidate has to say, you need to also look at how they have governed once in office. I am OK with Perry endorsing Newt although Newt needs to make amends for his brief flirtation with liberalism (ie, Dede Scozzafova and the global warming junk science, etc). Newt carries a lot of baggage and will need our help in defeating the Marxist pig Obama.

Gingrich putting Perry in charge of a 10th amendment project is political f’n genius.

Governor Perry called Newt a “conservative visionary.” Perry also said he believes in redemption. GOD BLESS PERRY. The good governor will continue to lead the staHte of Texas in battling the Obama administration.
Daddy Bush would not endorse Perry or Newt...he went with Romney. If Newt wins the nomination..payback will be hell.
Hooray for Perry.
