Rick Perry bowed to the inevitable on Thursday dropping out of the
Republican presidential race after consistently finishing at the bottom
of the pack in all polls in the run-up to Saturday’s South Carolina
primary.
In quitting, Perry endorsed Newt Gingrich, who this week urged both him
and fellow conservative Rick Santorum to drop out to give him a clear
shot at front-runner Mitt Romney.
“I believe Newt is a conservative visionary who can transform our country,” he said as he announced his decision in Charleston, S.C.
“We have had our differences which campaigns will inevitably have,” Perry said. “Newt is not perfect, but who among us is?”
Gingrich said he was “humbled and honored” to receive Perry’s endorsement. “His selflessness is yet another demonstration of his deep sense of citizenship and commitment to the cause of limited government, historic American values and greater freedom for every American."
