While Michele Bachmann may have exited the GOP presidential race, Rick Perry is planning to stick around despite a fifth place finish in Iowa last night.
A short time ago, Perry tweeted, “And the next leg of the marathon is the Palmetto State….Here we come South Carolina!!!”
So does this mean that Perry is bypassing New Hampshire altogether? Is he skipping the two debates scheduled for Saturday night and Sunday morning in Manchester and Concord?
I guess we shouldn’t be totally surprised at this turn of events. Unlike Bachmann, Perry has money to spend. But is it money well spent? At this point, his presence in the race increases the likelihood that Romney could prevail in South Carolina.

Perry must campaign hard in SC because he has a good chance in winning the Evangelic voters, while Romney will have trouble with voters explaining his stance on abortion and gay marriage. Sanorum and Gingrich, both lacks resource and organization.
Perry has a "clear shot" in SC and can win it.

Why shouldn't all of them skip NH? After all it is not a state that can or will deliver even its paltry electoral votes to the GOP. Why should the party care who NH voters think should be the nominee? In fact the contrary might be a better choice.

Shame on Perry for sticking around. He can only play spoiler at this point.

Time will tell but what's left to throw at Perry? Aren't we just beginning the vetting of Santorum and Romney?
Al Adab| 1.4.12 @ 2:50PM
They will not vet Romney as he is the preferred condidate. (spelling intentional)
