Evangelicals for Perry Endorses Newt Gingrich for President - Yes, you read that right.

While we greatly desire to fight on with Gov. Perry until the end, it is time to put our money where our mouth is in an attempt to avoid a repeat of the mistake of a divided conservative field. - evangelicals4perry.net

There remains a small chance that Gov. Perry will come back in South Carolina and enjoy a resurgence of his campaign heading into Florida and beyond but it is highly unlikely. Rather than waiting for the results of South Carolina before pursuing consolidation, we have chosen to make whatever small contribution we can before the votes are cast. Therefore, we are joining Evangelicals With Newt in endorsing Speaker Gingrich for President.

He can end his campaign now and leave a hero or stay in till Sunday and be a spoiler.... For a generation, Rick Perry was undefeated. Now he will go back to Texas and everyone who ever lost to Rick Perry will seek to settle old scores. It will be a tough, bloody fight. He will have to be ready for it.

Perry, however, has a potential trump card up his sleeve as he rebuilds political capital. It’s simple: he can drop out today, and endorse someone else. Doing so today, before the CNN Debate tomorrow, gives the news time to sink in.
