Sometimes I wonder if Rick Perry is only still in the race because of an establishment effort to steal votes for Ron Paul.

He steals his talking points from Ron Paul AND he has no chance of winning.
OR
Hanging around RPF too much has turned me into a conspiracy theorist.

Politics is one big chess game and nothing happens by accident.

Politics is one big chess game and nothing happens by accident.It's more complicated than a chess game. In chess, you only have one opponent making decisions. In politics, you have several. The good thing is that Paul and his team understand incentives. And that's a huge advantage. If you understand the incentives of your opponents, you can predict their moves.

Rick Perry needs to stay in the race. He splits up the Establishment vote.

but some things don't happen as planned either, right? chess involves 2 players, not one.

This has been obvious from the beginning nearly. Remember how they dragged poor Fred Thompson into the race to steal votes from Dr. Paul in the last election? And a couple of others as well.
