FNC now doing their best to limit the impact this will have in helping Newt! Spin says it’s meaningless because his poll numbers are low anyway.

Perry may not have too many followers left, but he took some shots at ABC and at Romney, and made a huge moral commitment to Gingrich, and that was a big deal. Perry didn't have to do that - he could have given his resignation speech and said nothing endorsing anybody.

Funny that CNN of all places is saying that Perry talking about forgiveness was huge for Newt while Fox News is downplaying Perry's endorsement.

This was inevitable, as Perry wasn’t getting traction.

I’m not surprised he endorsed Gingrich. If Gingrich had fallen, I’d have expected him to endorse Perry, they seem to have a good relationship.

Interesting that Perry immediately endorsed Gingrich, while Cain could never bring himself to do so, even though Cain was supposedly so respectful of Newt.

And I do think it will help Gingrich a lot, not because Perry has a large base of people to throw his way, but because I think a lot of the Gingrich folks would have been Perry folks otherwise, and Perry will help Gingrich keep them through the recent news.

Still not sure Gingrich will survive, or even win South Carolina, but this makes both more likely.

I feel bad for Santorum, because he won Iowa and he didn’t get credit for it on election night because of the counting errors, and he won’t get credit for it now because the news came out on a bad news day for him.
