Bye Bye Perry!

This morning at the Hyatt airport hotel, Rick Perry announced he was dropping out of the 2012 Presidential Race. Perry called it a "strategic retreat", but the only strategy involved was the fact that he basically no money left. He was originally scheduled to make his announcement in a Marriott Hotel Conference Room, but due to the expense, he ended up in the Hyatt just a few miles from the airport in South Carolina. By this week, the group was so out of money that they had their spokesperson doing their driving and their huge bus became a ten person van. Perry did not use his funds wisely, and he mad too man people angry too soon, which lost him a lot of chances of receiving donations.
Not that I am at all complaining, but I am surprised that he actually dropped out, when just a few days ago he promised his few supporters, "When I got a target in my sight I don't give up, I've never quit a day in my life in the face of adversity". Well, i guess there's a first time for everything, huh Rick Perry? 
Withdrawing from the race was absolutely the smartest choice for Perry, even his few supporters and his campaign team said he had no chance of winning when they were interviewed. 
On monday, Perry hinted at his thought of perhaps dropping out, by saying he wouldn't mind if it was all over, as long as he had his wife by his side, which is the one thing he did have left today. After his announcement, he kissed his wife and walked off stage without taking questions. The last thing he said before leaving the stage was that he was throwing his support behind Newt Gingrich, what a surprise...
