that MIGHT give leg up to Santorum, or, more likely Gingrich, to win SC.

Would make sense, since Perry coming in 5th at 5.7%

However, I don't see him dropping out before Sat.

He doesn't like any of the other candidates, and I don't believe that any of them care for him either.

I am sure that some of the candidates are busy doing BCD deals to either keep themselves relevant nationally or to feather their nests, but I don't think any of them want to cut any deals with Perry.

Who will fall next?  How long does Santorum stay in it?  I'm sure that Gingrich will at least stick through Florida.  Paul may do like Huckabee and just keep running as long as he can.

SC and then drop out right before the primary.  Unless he was scheming with either Gingrich or Santorum to push his support to them at the last minute.

Somehow, I feel little love between Perry and any of the remaining candidates.  Gingrich and Santorum might do something together down the road to try to fuck Romney, since neither of them has any love lost for the "presumptive" nominee.

Perry is probably done and will drop out after SC. If not then, Fla. Gingrich and Paul will stay as long as they possibility can to have some influence over the issues and party.

None of them will get too wild in this. A President or even a President elect can make payback a bitch.  

If any of them want to have any revelance to the Republican party they will read the Tea Leaves.

even without a big endorsement from Perry.  

With Santorum, Gingrich and Paul splitting Perry's 5.7%. It doesn't give any one of them much of a ding against Romney's numbers.
