Texas Gov. Rick Perry is dropping out of the presidential race, according to a report in CNN.
Perry, who trails GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney badly and fared miserably in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary, is telling supporters he will drop his bid for the nomination, according to CNN.
Perry has scheduled a news conference for 11 a.m in North Charleston, South Carolina.

The end!
Bravo Governor!
Dropping out or suspending?
. . . and will throw his support behind Mitt Romney?
Fox chyron - “Perry to endorse Gingrich”.
All early reports say Newt.
No he is going to endorse Newt
He’s GOTTA endorse Newt, and maybe after Palin’s endorsement of Newt, Santorum will unite behind the VIABLE Other-than-Romney Candidate.
A true conservative and states rights fighter is gone from the race. We now have two statist central planners as our leading candidates. Truly disgusting.
looks like Saras’ endorsement and calling on the others to “take one for the team” is paying off big time for Newt
He was one of the Republican candidates I would have voted for in November.
As bad as things are for Newt with the X-wifey thing their is a Yang to the Ying..
* Santorum really won in Iowa, but it is begrudingly discussed.
* Perry Endorses.
* Watch Herman Cain today, he is supposed to endorse, my guess Newt.
As bad as things are, looks like folks or karma has his back...
A true conservative and states rights fighter is gone from the race. We now have two statist central planners as our leading candidates. Truly disgusting.
Probably past due, but his name will still be on the ballot for the SC primary, folks will still vote for him, and the divide and conquer movement sadly continues probably giving Romney the win. I hope Newt or Rick S. can pull it off, but I doubt it.
Ok, here’s where it gets interesting.
The left clearly fears Newt, and is out to take him out. He scares me, but neither Santorum nor Romney could beat Obama. The left knows this, as Pelosi has said.
Newt’s moral failures are major. But since Clinton did far worse, why should it matter? Because it DOES matter in the spiritual realm. Has he truly repented and turned? Only God knows. He still is arrogant & cocky. Not good traits in a leader. But he would slaughter O in debates.
But if I’m left with Newt or Obama, the choice is clear, even though it’s not my preferred one.......
Man! You sure live in a miserable world!
Man! You sure live in a miserable world!
But the sun will still shine and the Cardinals are still World Champions, at least until Opening Day !
THANK YOU, Texas (155 delegates) & Gov Perry!
GO NEWT!!!
Speaker Gingrich-led Republicans….the result: * Voting on each of the Contract with America items * Four consecutive balanced budgets * Over $400 billion of debt paid off * Major welfare reform accomplished * 11 million new jobs for America * Unemployment falling to under 4%.
