Perry: South Carolina is not ‘our Alamo’

By Alicia M. Cohn - 01/10/12 03:21 PM ET
Rick Perry pushed back Tuesday on reports that South Carolina will be his campaign’s last stand in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
"I'm not gonna play the game of 'what ifs' and 'what have yous.' Our intention is to win," Perry told reporters at a campaign stop in South Carolina, according to multiple reports. "This isn't our Alamo, this is our San Jacinto."
While the Texas defenders were mostly killed by Mexican troops during the battle of the Alamo, the battle of San Jacinto won the Texas Revolution with few Texas losses in 1836.

The Wall Street Journal found in a report published Monday that 22 percent of the 77 businesses Bain invested in while Romney led the firm either filed for bankruptcy reorganization or closed their doors by the end of the eighth year, sometimes with substantial job losses.
