Perry is out.  He's going back to Texas to 'reassess'

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Perry reassessing....

[Negusa Nagast 🚀]

Perry might drop out, this could put the ABR over the edge in SC with less vote splitting...

[Badger]

Would Dubuque just report those last 10 precincts please?

They aren't the only ones sitting on some precincts.

The largest share of precincts by far (other than Story that's been just plain slow all night ).

YAY PERRY IS REASSESSING!!!! HE'S OUT!

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Hopefully the conservatives coalesce behind Santorum now, to defeat the Mormon.

You clearly are going to keep doing this thing of yours going until Mittens wraps it up aren't you, Lief? Have fun!  

One of the Mormons didn't break 1%. Of course he was quick to call Iowa irrelevant.

WOW!!! So Perry suspends campaign?

So he dropped out before Bachmann? What a joke she is.

[Dereich]

Is...is that perry saying he's going to probably drop out before BACHMANN?

[redcommander]

Perry don't drop out!!!! You still have South Carolina!!!

[Smash255]

Perry's tone mislead me. He's staying on.

Perry is dropping out

[redcommander]

If Perry endorses Bachmann, perhaps she can gain some traction again.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Current delegate breakdown from Iowa - Santorum - 6, Romney - 6, Paul - 4, Gingrich - 1, Perry - 1 leaving 7 more to go.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

LOL, if Perry wasn't such a moron, he would have run away with the nomination.

[Badger]

Where the hell is Santorum? He needed to take the stage over an hour ago, declare "victory" without explicitly claiming he "won", get a couple sound bites out for the 11:00 news and get off stage. Bad media management.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Perry's tone mislead me. He's staying on.

Perry is dropping out

That was from the begining of the speech Its over.

[Progressive]

RICK PERRY DROPPING OUT is BAD NEWS for Mitt Romney. Smaller split for GOP hard liners.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

After tonight's performance, Paul won't win another state.

[muon2]

Perry's tone mislead me. He's staying on.

Perry is dropping out

Agreed. Barring some incredible internal polling from the south he's out.

[doktorb]

This Rick Perry "We're all American, and we're God fearing barbecue-eating baseball loving family types" anthe, makes this British cynic a little pale in the face.  

[redcommander]

LOL, if Perry wasn't such a moron, he would have run away with the nomination.

Yep. His speech was pretty good tonight. If he had only taken the first few debates more seriously, he might have won tonight.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Santorum down to a 37 vote lead. 29 precincts still out in Story and Dubque. Odds are on Romney.

[tmthforu94]

Uh, Romney and his allies spent literally millions and millions of dollars on ads in Iowa. The idea that he didn't put any resources into the state is completely false.

I didn't say he put no resources, he just didn't make a valiant effort. Iowans usually reward people who spend a lot of time in the state, and considering Mitt didn't start heavily campaigning here until a week or two ago, I think 25% is very good. We weren't originally going for a win here. This wasn't a part of the original strategy.

I am very happy with the results tonight, regardless if Mitt takes first or second.

[Thomas D]

Screw you guys...I'm going to bed.

[homelycooking]

Here is my map of the vote so far.

[tmthforu94]

I actually wish Perry would stay in. I think he could have a small chance in South Carolina, depending on how he campaigns there. He's a very likeable guy to Republicans, I think.

[tmthforu94]

FOX just said of the 61 remaining precincts, 50 of them are in counties Romney is leading.
