Mary Amonitti of Hilton Head, S.C., asks a question to Republican presidential candidate, Texas Gov. Rick Perry during a campaign stop at the Hilton Head Diner, Friday, Jan. 13, 2012, in Hilton Head, S.C.
After Perry lost an important South Carolina backer, he's changed the focus of his attacks to Obama rather than Mitt Romney on the campaign trail today at a diner in Hilton Head. NBC's Mark Murray breaks down where all the campaign money is being spent in the Palmetto state.
The South Carolina Republican primary is Jan. 21. It will take 1,144 delegates to win the nomination at the Republican national convention this summer. So far, Perry has collected no delegates.



Good ol' boy, redneck goes to the most Good Ol' Boy, redneck state of them all, gee he might even win one delegate even there. Even South Carolinians aren't that stupid are they? Vote for Perry? Y'all want a fellow good ol' boy look to Newt he's smarter than Perry. Since both have the chance of an ice cube in the Sahara of getting the nomination it probably won't matter but it is fun to see each of them tear each other up. Newt can usually rember more than 3 things and is more consistant with his lies; except for the one about making nice on the campaign trail. Oh well no matter which of those fools win Obama will have a cake walk of a victory.
Perry is so toast!

The Coal-fired Power plants have been on notice for a long time to clean up the pollutants they spew into the air for everyone to breathe and the president has made it clear they have to comply with the EPA rules promulgated. America is in the forefront in clean air and environmental issues and should carry out and implement these regulations for all Americans. The die-hard extreme fringe will continue to scream about EPA rules and de-regulation because they are in the pockets of the super-affluent who do not care about water, ground and air quality. All they care about is pleasing the 1%-ers and their tax breaks. The EPA, the America lung Association and many scholarly bodies welcome our efforts. But the puppeteers have control of this radical element who cannot see past the monies they receive the effects of "Global Warming"! These die-hard illusionist will shut down plants rather than fix the plants to make their points. These TEA-GOP-republican members care only about keeping taxes down and lie that jobs will be lost and the increase in cost that will be passed onto the consumer. This is all the same hogwash that has been used since time infinitum.
On Jan 13, 2012, I read Patricia Kilday Hart's piece in the Houston Chronicle stating Texas leads the country in greenhouse gas emissions and we could thank or Governor Rick Perry. Perry issued an executive order fast-tracking permit requests for construction of new coal-fired power plants while Texas was awash with cheap, cleaner natural gas, an alternative for electricity production. Perry told Texas this would be an economic boon and there would be 3,770 new jobs generated. Meanwhile Perry received hundreds of thousand of dollars in campaign contributions from Wyoming Coal companies. He and his appointees to the Texas Public Utilities Commission and the Texas Environmental Commission on Environmental Quality colluded to mis-inform the public and at a speed to avoid new federal laws for carbon pollution. Texas now has thirteen coal-fired, greenhouse polluting power plants that will not and do not comply with the new federal rules for carbon pollution. ERCOT has failed to protect Texas, Texans and the people downwind from Texas from greenhouse gases. Texas is a one-party state run by unforgiving Capital chasing career politicians.

to Norm 903;; You bigoted slob. Hate Catholics, do you? JFK handled that "problem" very well. But you wish to bring it back, as if the world cares what you think of the Vatican and Catholicism. The candidate you don't like is the son of Italian immigrants. Like, America has about 50 million Italian Immigrants. I am Jewish, turned evangelical Christian...I wonder what you would say about me.
As for the New Hampshire primary, New Hampshire (I've been there) has no real standing in America...they are the biggest bunch of losers in the country. Manchester is a non-city, of no redeeming social value.
Newt for President!!!!!!!!!!
After listening to Perry's attempt to debate others, I'm surprised that this man has a drivers licence yet alone own a gun... Add to that how long Texas has suffered under him.... Sad story and embarrassing to our democracy...
