Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) announced Friday he is ending his presidential campaign.

Perry announced the end of his campaign at the Eagle Forum -- an event founded by conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly -- in St. Louis, Missouri.

"We have a tremendous field – the best in a generation – so I step aside knowing our party is in good hands, and as long as we listen to the grassroots, the cause of conservatism will be too," Perry said.

"I give you this news with no regrets," Perry added. "It has been a privilege and an honor to travel this country, to speak with the American people about their hopes and dreams, to see a sense of optimism prevalent despite a season of cynical politics."

The best in a generation? Really? I'm not even being partisan, but best is really an exaggeration, a big exaggeration.

if it was true, that would be really sad.

I printed out the list that what's-his-face posted (long handle, posted a lot of political things, then stopped posting) with the dates everyone declared; was happy to add the date Perry dropped out on to my printout...
