This morning, Ali Velshi asks CNN contributor John Avlon, Republican strategist Karen Hanretty, and columnist Ruben Navarette if Perry remains a viable candidate – or if his campaign finished.
How Penn State football culture affects the child sex abuse scandal fallout

Gov. Perry on debate performance 'I had a brain freeze'

Now many are saying this could well mark the beginning of the end of the Texas Governor's campaign.
Rick Perry explains to Christine Romans this morning why he's not dropping out of the race – and why voters will ultimately choose a candidate who realize that this country needs "substance more than we need style."
