Perry Drops Out

Texas Governor Rick Perry has dropped out of the GOP race for the presidential nomination. To date Huntsman, Bachmann, Perry, Cain, and Pawlenty are out of the race. Remaining in the race: Romney, Gingrich, Paul, and Santorum. See the article at Yahoo News.

This winnowing process reminds me of the film Ten Little Indians based on Agatha Christie's novel And Then There Were None. Do you suppose Newt can pull into the lead?

At this point I believe Romney is a better manager, but I'm not certain the presidency is a managerial job. Gingrich is the more visionary candidate, and would make the more interesting president. I don't know whether "interesting" = better for the country.
