Well, guess what, bucko? Mitt Romney's only chance to win the nomination is to keep the conservative vote divided. As long as Perry stays in the race, he aids Mitt.
It's a pretty simple concept, but apparently well beyond the grasp of the average Perry supporter on FR.
Maybe Erick Erickson over at RedState can help you out, he's a Perry supporter who is saying this:
This will probably be the biggest news of the morning. Millions have wondered who Governor Palin would actually support. She’s making it crystal clear now.
On Fox News, Sarah Palin says if she lived in South Carolina she’d vote for Newt.
The next big question is whether Governor Perry decides to depart the race before or after Saturday. And if he departs, will he endorse Newt Gingrich, who wrote the introduction to Governor Perry’s book Fed Up!
With Palin’s endorsement, Rick Perry is now in a terribly awkward spot. If he departs before Saturday, he could be a hero for one of the non-Romney candidates. If he waits until Sunday and the race is close, as it appears to be, Rick Perry will rightly be remembered as the spoiler who handed Mitt Romney the nomination.
If Rick Perry and Sarah Palin both throw their lot behind Newt Gingrich, well, the Republican nomination might actually turn into a race instead of a coronation.
Well congratulations; you just proved my point! (laugh)I knew that reaction was coming! Bucko, eh? That seems to be the reaction if somebody criticizes the “Perry-bashers” on here! What exactly are you people afraid of; if Perry’s doing so badly, as you say?
I expect if he gets out of the race, he’ll do fine. He’ll lick his wounds, and go back to Texas. He may even support your fav. candidate. However, some of you are so intent on bashing Perry and his supporters on here, you give the impression you’re afraid he will win!
You do know your favorite candidate will win or lose on their own merit; they don’t need you to bash other candidates/supporters to prop them up? Besides they might need their help down the road!
But spare me the grumbling, growling and the name-calling. This ‘bucko’ isn’t impressed a bit! In fact, I’m expecting it, and it doesn’t change my mind. I do support Perry. If he doesn’t win, I’ll be sad, but I won’t fall apart over it. I’ll just find another to support, but it won’t be because of yours and others bully tactics!
