From NPR? Did I just see a fat Poland China fly by?

The strategy seems to be working. :) Between Perry and Paul, he could come out smelling like the yellow rose of Texas.:)

[datura]

Perry first out, Paul next?

I won’t miss either of them, and Bush’s super PAC can’t keep all of them going forever.

[Norm Lenhart]

If former Perry staff/people want to vote for Cruz, great. Just don’t let them near any positions of decision because clearly they have little sense and lots of RINO.

I thought it was a Birkshire. Amazing.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Linda is just there to hurt Ted in South Carolina.

[cripplecreek]

Ted Cruz is already raiding the Paul camp.

[Uncle Miltie]

Everyone: Read those last three paragraphs again.

Send cash.

[NFHale]

Sometimes, it’s good to get out while the getting is good.

He’s had a long public career. Got nothing against Gov Perry personally. It’s just time to hang up the hat.

Ted Cruz’s moment in the sun is now.

[freespirit2012]

Rick Perry is a cancer on intelligence..

[2ndDivisionVet]

It finally registered after she finagled something or other. You got me in to the “small dogs” conference call tomorrow afternoon. I can’t ask him a question directly, but I do get to listen in.

[freespirit2012]

Though he had me fooled for a few days with those glasses..

[TADSLOS]

Ted Cruz is already raiding the Paul camp.

Big Time.

[cripplecreek]

Ted Cruz named Rand Paul as one of those who betrayed him.

[spintreebob]

I used to get several emails a day from Cruz, Carson, Paul. They all asked for money. The emails from Paul stopped a couple days ago. I didn’t notice it until now when I checked my un-emptied trash folder.

Email from Rubio is less often and from Jeb even less often than that. Email from Fiorina is sporadic. Huckabee and Santorum emails stopped many weeks ago.

Maybe they just realize I don’t send money. Or maybe it is indicative of something else. Afterall, it is pretty cheap to send an email.

Politics creates some strange bedfellows. I would suspect we’ll see Dewhurst come out in support of Cruz for President. Then he would run for the open Senate seat considering himself the “heir apparent”. We’d have a great President but two RINO Senators like we had with the Cornyn-Hutchinson duo.

[erod]

Let’s hope Cruz doesn’t get froze out of the debates again.

[Slyfox]

As former Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst discovered in 2012 in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate, when he was expected to crush this unknown candidate, you underestimate Ted Cruz at your political peril.

Cruz never did ram crap down other people's throats. I found that rather refreshing. He sticks with the issues and runs rings around others as they throw the crap.

GO CRUZ GO !!

Bttt

Rick Perry seems like a nice guy, and I applaud his military service, but he doesn’t have a prayer of a chance.
