Topic: Rick Perry Drops Out Of 2012 Presidential Race Ahead Of South Carolina Primary

Rick Perry formally announced his withdrawal from the presidential race two days before the South Carolina primary. It seems as though it was a decision at the last minute. As he addressed the people in a press conference in North Charleston, he also endorsed Gingrich for the presidential candidate for the Republican Party. There was obviously no surprise there. Perry and Gingrich have been “frenemies” throughout this whole election and people have remarked that they share most of the same views. Perry believes that Gingrich can “transform this country”. Gingrich seemed very grateful at his endorsement. Perry also said that he loved America, but the corruption of this country is because of politics. Perry had a good run at the beginning. He was who everyone was talking about last summer and he could have made it farther is he only did not make some bad moves along the way. It was still surprising to see him standing after those bad moves, but there comes a time when you know it is too late to do anything to sway the voters back. Perry realized this and made a good move of dropping out instead of waiting till all his money would be gone. Romney said that Perry was a good man and that he made a great contribution to his state as well as his country.
