The MSM interprets him saying he is dropping out and it’s fact Eh?
One could easily interpret Perry’s cancelling his flight to SC, and saying he was going back to TX to reassess and to see if there was any path forward for him in this campaign as a prelude to dropping out. Then they said it’d be Thursday before any announcement, but by Wednesday morning the assessment was complete and he’s apparently found a way to go forward.
So far as I can see, Perry’s continuing only seals the deal for Romney.
