Perry's out...

FIRST ON CNN: Sources: Perry dropping out of GOP race – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs
Quote:
Rick Perry is telling supporters that he will drop his bid Thursday for the Republican presidential nomination, two sources familiar with his plans told CNN. The Texas governor will make the announcement before the CNN debate in South Carolina, the sources said.
FOX News claims that he will endorse Gingrich...still developing.

It's about time. Did he try to remember the three reasons he was dropping out, but could only come up with two?

I liked the guy and his ideas. Vocally, he sounded a lot like Bush, which didn't do him any good.

No problem with most of his ideas or even the way he talks. Heck, I'm a Texan! I sound just like him.

His stumbling deliveries are what made him unelectable. He can't think on his feet.

I see little to like in Perry. Unlike Chris Christie, he doesn't have personality traits to help offset his warped political views. Perry is notably ignorant and has a propensity for casually accepting deeply crazy ideas. For example, he hasn't advocated secession for Texas, but he also doesn't seem entirely uncomfortable with the idea. Recently he said that Turkey, our most important ally in that part of the word IMO, is governed by people who can be perceived as Islamic terrorists. That is deeply crazy.

If his departure from the race hurts Romney, that's great. Either way, it will be good to have him gone.

Be careful. jplinville did not ask for your opinion. Ask me how I know.
