Tales from the Trail: GOP campaign highlights

Given the CNN/Southern Republican Leadership Conference debate tonight and a heated political season, CNN.com has created a video franchise called “In His Own Words” that chronicles sincere or landmark moments from the GOP candidates throughout their campaigns. We thought this might be especially interesting today, considering Rick Perry may announce he is dropping out of the race. Here’s a look back at Perry’s campaign over the past few months “In His Own Words”. CNN.com’s video team has worked on other political franchises as well, which will roll out as the campaign trail heats up.

The CNN/Southern Republican Leadership Conference debate will air tonight at 8p ET.
