 Below is video of Governor Perry endorsing Speaker Newt Gingrich after annoucning that he was suspending his own campaign for President. According to Governor Perry; “I believe Newt is a Conservative visionary who can transform our country.  We’ve had our differences which campaigns will inevitably have, and Newt is not perfect, but who among us is?  The fact is, there is forgiveness for those who seek God.  And I believe in the power of redemption for it is a central tenant of my Christian faith.  I have no question that…

Newt under attack from a hidden source but is endorsed by Perry as the right man

Newt under attack from a hidden source but is endorsed by Perry as the right man

Texas Governor Rick Perry stepped out of the Republican Presidential race in a dignified and gentlemanly manner this afternoon. Perry is abandoning his run for his party’s nomination to face Democratic President Barack Obama on November 6, campaign sources said, and will endorse Newt Gingrich, a former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Perry scheduled a news conference in North Charleston, South Carolina, for 11 a.m. EST just two days before this Saturday’s crucial Republican presidential primary in the conservative Southern state, where he had hoped to revive his…

How Far Will Perry’s Endorsement Go?

How Far Will Perry’s Endorsement Go?

Rick Perry bowed out of the race for the Presidency and endorsed Newt Gingrich. Given how poorly Perry was doing in the polls, his endorsement isn’t worth squat if all it gives Newt is Perry’s voters. What Newt needs and Perry has are money and contacts. With the Florida contest only a short way off, Gingrich needs to hit the airwaves there with ads right now. We should find out within 24 hours if Perry’s endorsement comes with real campaign support (donors, contacts, etc.) or not. If Newt goes in…

The Impact of Perry’s Decision to Suspends His Campaign and Endorse Newt Gingrich

The Impact of Perry’s Decision to Suspends His Campaign and Endorse Newt Gingrich

   In what was probably the most sincere and eloquent speech of his 5 month long race for the Republican presidential nomination, Texas Governor Rick Perry announced that he was suspending his campaign and endorsing the candidacy of Newt Gingrich for President.  The decision which came in advance of what was an inevitable, single digit, last place showing in this Saturday’s  South Carolina Primary was not totally unexpected, but both its timing and the endorsement that came with it were. In recent days it became clear that despite an endorsement of Rick Santorum by over 150 evangelical leaders, the evangelical…

Is Newt The Comeback Kid?

Is Newt The Comeback Kid?

    Newt was focused and seemed to be resonating with the SC Republicans at the last debate. He made Santorum and Perry seem like lesser alternatives for the conservative vote. He’ll have to convince people finally in the debate on Thursday that he is the single conservative candidate to rally around if he hopes to win in South Carolina and hope to stop the Romney coronation. If anyone can do it, it is Newt Gingrich. At the same time, Newt is also the man who will have the hardest time…

What Is Shaping the South Carolina Republican Presidential Primary?

What Is Shaping the South Carolina Republican Presidential Primary?

   One of the most unique things about South Carolina in regards to the early presidential nomination contests is the state’s substantial military demographic. It accounts for nearly 400,000 military veterans or 12 percent of the state’s voting age population.  Then there are about another additional 34,000 active duty service members who are stationed on military bases in South Carolina. With such a large percentage of military voters, you would expect that based upon the claims that Ron Paul has more support from the military than any other candidate, Ron Paul is a shoo-in to win the South…

Hollow Victories?

One aspect of the Republican race for the nomination that may yet become a serious issue is the penalty assessed on NH, SC, FL, AZ and MI because they held their primaries before February. It has been the case that no Republican has won the nomination without winning SC and either IA or NH. Yet, this year those victories are more a public relations victory than ones that really build a delegate base. Even if Mitt Romney swept the January primaries, he won’t have amassed the type of delegate count…
