Well behind in the polls, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is using a new internet video to try to combat worries about whether he won't be in the GOP Presidential race for very long.

"I have never quit a day in my life," Perry says.  "I have never quit in the face of adversity."

The video starts with tape of remarks from President Ronald Reagan, and is titled, "Champion."

Perry has a series of stops in South Carolina on Friday, but one stands out for any reporter as he will stop for lunch in Bluffton at the "Squat N' Gobble."
