Perry's Last Stop

Rick Perry ended his final day campaigning before the Iowa caucuses in Dallas. In particular, Dallas county. In particular, the town of Perry in Dallas county. In the Pattee Hotel in Perry, Perry urged his supporters to push hard in the final hours to gather additional votes for the Iowa Caucuses. Supporting Perry were governors Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Sam Brownback of Kansas as well as country music singer Larry Gatlin and two veterans. Representative Sam Graves from Missouri was also present.

Perry touted his support of the repeal of Obamacare and saying that, as President, he will not apologize for America. Perry did not focus all of his attacks at the Obama administration, however. Perry also subtly attacked his rivals, claiming to be the only truly consistent conservative. Perry said that the voters should not have to settle for anyone just because they are "electable," but instead vote for whomever is closest to their beliefs.

The crowd mostly consisted of older religious voters, determined via sight and by taking note of the multitude of voters who sang along with some religious hymns Gatlin played. The mix of "Amens" and "Damn rights" show that the audience was very passionate about the issues.

With Perry polling in the low double-digits in Iowa, he may very well need a miracle to pull out a much-sought-after top-three finish.
