Oh, please. Enough of Perry. He’s had his moment in the sun. Can even claim to have made a US presidential run. If he had any class he would withdraw from the national scene and return to Texas.
He's a politician. He will slither his way into a cabinet position in a Romney administration. Can anybody say Secretary of the Interior?!?
Romney wins if the unelectable Perry splits off a good chunk of the conservative vote. So he'll stumble along, the money will dry up, staffers will jump ship, but he'll "fight the good fight" and ensure his supporters give Romney the nomination in exchange for the Interior post.
