Perry in South Carolina can only hurt Santorum or Newt and help Romney at this point.

Perry acts as spoiler for Santorum, just as Cain spoiled it for Bachmann and Gingrich spoiled it for Cain!

P.S. It sounds like Newt is ready to help Santorum (unless Team Romney can make a better offer?):

I want this moron to keep running for as long as possible. It will show My state just how fucking stupid he is and perhaps we will finally go back and have a Democratic governor again.

Run, ricky Run!
