When Perry endorsed Newt yesterday morning, he said much the same thing you said in your wonderful post. Now PERRY is a man of real character. I hope Santorum proves himself to be equally heroic on that grander scale of "character."
God bless Rick Perry, and GODSPEED NEWT GINGRICH.
I am with you, I love Rick Perry. I keep telling people who know a lot more than I do about this stuff, that I hope Newt will choose him as VP, but they keep assuring me for a bunch of obtuse reasons that he couldn’t and wouldn’t.
But, Governor Perry is young, and he sure has made a lot of new friends if he goes for it again. He is going to actively campaign on the trail for Newt... and Newt has given him the chairmanship of some sort of project in his campaign, but I don’t know the name.
as far as the grander scale of humility, it takes quite a deal of TRUE humility to bow out for the sake of your country. Perry is a big dog and a fighter, I am sure it hurt to quit..
