He's been stubborn about his ill-fated campaign for the presidency, but, today, Rick Perry realized what everyone else has been thinking for weeks: he's not presidential material.<br /><br />The 61-year-old Perry ended his bid in South Carolina ahead of this Saturday's primary vote in that state, the same one where he first declared his national bid last August. Chased by horrible debate performances and ever-dropping numbers in a variety of campaign polls, Perry did the right thing in quitting.<br /><br />But, then, like some dogged dunce, he again blew it by endorsing Newt Gingrich, perhaps the most soiled Republican to ever seek the White House. Gingrich is a mean-spirited, self-aggrandizing politician with serious moral flaws. He's lied about his enrichment at the public trough and he's acknowledged adultery. That's the guy Rick Perry believes can lead America?<br /><br />What is wrong with these Republicans?<br /><br />In their zeal to oust popular Democratic President Barack Obama, they would field a guy like Gingrich? If you've not followed the national campaign trail these guys have walked during the past six months, well, tune in to <strong><em>ABC News</em></strong> this evening. There, you'll get an earful from Gingrich's second wife, the one he took after losing his first wife and the one he lost after meeting Congressional aide Callista, his current wife. The news report promises much.<br /><br />For his part, Rick Perry, a former Democrat who crowed he'd never lost a political race, the return to Texas should be a doozy. Bloggers in Austin who poo-poohed his bid from Day 1, have been laughing in stories and comments related to Perry's mental failings. Comments submitted to the <em>Austin American-Statesman's</em> stories about Perry's campaign have not been kind. Perry, they say, has done nothing but make the rest of America believe that all Texans are as dumb as he is. Those debate performances, they always note, were devastating for Perry, but also for residents of the Lone Star State.<br /><br />Perry should come home.<br /><br />He was ill-prepared to the point that, looking back at the last three months, one gets around to knowing that even George W. Bush, no Einstein, did much better than this low-performing Texas Aggie. And that's saying much.<br /><br />So, there he stood with his forlorn wife, Anita, and talked about putting the country on the right path, about defeating President Obama, about the greatness of the flawed Newt Gingrich. And then he thanked his "many" supporters.<br /><br />The thing is there never were "many" supporters. Perry got 1% of the vote in Iowa, didn't compete in the New Hampshire Primary and was polling a a woeful 4% in South Carolina...<br /><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">- 30 -</span></strong></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8418586410607151775-1102903816551712061?l=thepazfiles.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
