It was in North Charleston, SC that Perry announced his decision to drop out of the race for the 2012 presidential election. His reason for dropping out is that there is no longer a "viable path" for him and that he knows when to strategically quit the race. He speaks on America and his views for presidency in his statement "What's broken in America is not our people. It's our politics. And what we need in Washington is a government that's humbler." . In addition to his retreating, he also decided to come out and state that he supports and endorses former competitor Newt Gingrich. Speaking on Gingrich, Perry says "I believe Newt is a conservative visionary who can transform our country" and added, "Newt is not perfect, but who among us is?". When Mitt Romney found out about Perry dropping out of the race, he stated Mitt Romney stated "He's a great man. He made a real contribution. He already has to his state and to our country." I find it quite interesting that the candidates support each other when they're not chewing each others heads off. In all reality, Perry has said he is retreating from this race, but it looks like he may attempt to run again in 2016.... I'll continue to watch Perry and see what's his next move.
