Rick Perry bows out of the race – His former supporters undecided

Texas governor Rick Perry withdrew from the primary race, leaving his former supporters to back someone else.

“If somebody else likes a Texan maybe [they’ll] come to me,” said Ron Paul, but did not seem very optimistic.

According to one survey, only 10 percent of Perry voters have said they will turn to Paul, with about a quarter undecided. Though former Perry fans might be more keen on Santorum or Gingrich, neither of these candidates have the funding Paul has been able to count on. Especially for someone like Santorum, funding can be expected to trump poll numbers as an indication for longevity.
