I know this is going to come as a shock to you, but the evangelicals meeting in Texas endorsed Rick Santorum.

A week before the South Carolina primaries, more than 150 conservative evangelical leaders met in Texas and voted to throw their weight behind former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum. The endorsement, which will likely come with grassroots support and fundraising assistance, marks a last-minute effort to help a socially conservative candidate dethrone current frontrunner Mitt Romney.

Note to Rick Perry:  They were meeting in your state, pretty darned close to the university you attended, looking for an evangelical like the kind that prays in football stadiums, who is conservative, who is a Washington outsider, and isn’t overly concerned about man on dog hoochy-koochy.

For you to lose out to Rick Santorum means that (1) they think you’re dumber than bean dip, or (2) they believe Glen Maxey’s book.

Personally, I think it’s both.  Pack it up, Perry, you’re coming home, son.
