So I am sitting in my science class after just finishing my midterm, And I find out that Rick Perry is now dropping out of the race. This comes just a day or two after Jon Huntsman chose to end his campaign. This comes as a bit of surprise because there are only two days before viters in South Carolina head to the polls. But with this news also comes the news that Gov. Perry will be endorsing Former Speaker Newt Gingrich. Now, I'm not sure Perry's voters will help Gingrich close the gap between him and front-runner Romney, who was recently endorsed by both Governor Hailey of SC and Jon Huntsman. But even without those endorsements, Romney still had a lead by over 10 points.
So here we are, three at last, three at last (that was for you Dr. King, if not a few days late). Romney, Gingrich, and Santorum. I know what your thinking, wheres Paul? He is still there of course, and still has his strong following, but really? He is not going to win this bid, especially after his poor performance at the debate two days ago. He was booed constantly, poor guy. Greg from The Five summed it up nicely saying that it is so odd and frustrating that he can say one thing that you can totally get onboard with, like eliminating the Fed, and then go and say something like Iran can have a nuke if they want.
If the election was a math equation it would look something like this ((Romney vs. (Gingrich vs. Santorum)) vs. Obama. I hope that makes sense, I have a C in math. In words though, Gingrich and Santorum are really competing against each other for the spot to compete against Romney as the conservative choice. Then of course the winner of the Romney-Gingrich/Santorum battle will beat Obama for the Presidency.
