Today Rick Perry announced that he is officially suspending his campaign for President.
Despite his warm greeting and initial surge in the polls, his poor debate performances caused his numbers to drop significantly. In the end, he was unable to garner enough support to stay in the race.
He had hoped to turn things around in South Carolina, with his southern connection, but he was unable to generate enthusiasm among voters there. In the end, he decided to endorse Newt Gingrich and return to his beloved state of Texas.
Newt was able to garner more support in South Carolina after his excellent debate performance earlier this week. Another debate is scheduled for tonight.
With Perry out, news of Romney’s offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands, and tapes from Newt Gingrich’s first wife surfacing, it is unclear how things are shaping up in South Carolina. But we will just have to watch Saturday to see who will come out the victor.
