Any other confirmation?

[GoCards]

Just heard from MSNBC too??? hmmm

[Chasaway]

Perry tweets:

“And the next leg of the marathon is the Palmetto State...Here we come South Carolina!!! http://t.co/ayZTVJAa";

[LostInBayport]

Bill Hemmer just mentioned this on Brian Kilmeade’s radio show.

Good. I’d like to see perry stay through SC. Santorum and Gingrich are both viable alternatives, but both have real negatives, too. Not sure how santorum will play outside Iowa. Not convinced i want to place our future in the hands of Newt quite yet Perry is the most effective executive in the bunch. If he can show more improvement in campaigning, I am still open to him. With Bachmann stepping out, we still have room for 2-3 alternatives to Mitt. After SC the conservatives need to coalesce around the winner of the not Romney race and back them in Florida to take the lead.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Yes, Governor Perry tweeted it himself. I follow him on Twitter.

[StAnDeliver]

Wow a punch in the jimmies to Santorum...

Perry Ping....

IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.

IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.

[org.whodat]

Two billion more and another 4th, guess he has a loser ribbon wall.

[bigbob]

Tell this to the FReepers on the live thread last night who insisted “he’s done”.

I respect Perry for having taken time and respected his backers and family enough to pray and ask their advice before committing to go forward.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Just heard on the local radio.

Perry tweet:

“South Carolina here we come!”

BUMP!

[spetznaz]

This may be of interest to you.

[alicewonders]

If this is true, it is awesome! I will be constantly praying for God to bless Rick Perry - I truly believe that he is the only acceptable candidate that has the capability to beat Romney.

Godspeed to you Rick Perry!

[Marcella]

There is a debate Saturday night. He needs to go or it will look like he’s not up to it. That would hurt him.

[Grunthor]

Good for him. If you are not going to get the nomination, let a conservative state tell you that, not a moderate state.

[NoPrisoners]

I’m glad Perry is going to hang in there. It’s way too soon for him to bail. Let’s see what shakes out over the next month or so.

[Williams]

I agree stay in.

[mmanager]

Rush just said that someone contacted his campaign and this is not confirmed.

[Katarina]

Good!! Perry is the best choice by far!!

[Theodore R.]

Governor Perry, come home to TX. Let the Right Rick do the heavy lifting. Santorum 2012.
