On This Week, The Long, Last Desperate Gasp of Gov. Rick Perry
By Susie Madrak
STEPHANOPOULOS: I'm doing well. Thank you. Less than a week to go in South Carolina, you're still lagging far behind. To borrow a metaphor from your home state, has South Carolina become your Alamo?
PERRY: I don't think so. But we get out every day and go take our message of job creation, and, you know, we're the most consistent fiscal conservative and social conservative in the race, and that's our message, both on the airwaves and out on the campaign trail. The retail politics in South Carolina has been awesome.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But as you know, Governor, that big group of social conservatives meeting in Texas yesterday, decided you're not the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney. They want Rick Santorum to have that mantle. You didn't even make the final ballot.
PERRY: Well, that's what they said about Ronald Reagan as well, that, you know, he was unelectable, he was not the one that they wanted to pick. But South Carolina citizens said, you know what, he is. So we'll wait and see Saturday what the people of South Carolina say.

Since it's a fair, that might be the number of tickets required for purchase.

This election season, Goodhair's presidential freefall has been my greatest joy.

He looks more batshit insane than Michele Bachmann, if that's possible.
I hate to think what he's going to do to that poor corn dog.

I went to Google Images looking for a pic of him with the corn dog and found this little Photoshopped masterpiece.

Kennedy didn't carry it in 1960 nor did Carter carry it in 1976. LBJ did in 1964, but he won everywhere except the deep south and Goldwater's home state.
