Perry made his mistake when speaking to college students at New Hampshire’s Saint Anselm’s College. Perry said, “Those who are going to be over 21 on November 12th, I ask for your support.”

Perry has experienced a massive drop in the polls, largely attributable to his poor performance in several Republican debates. [Washington Post]
