There appears to be consensus in the Rick Perry campaign that skipping some future debates may be the best strategy for the Texas governor.

In an interview Wednesday with CNN’s John King, Perry’s communications director Ray Sullivan said it would be impossible for Perry to participate in all of the remaining debates scheduled to take place before the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses.

“There have been eight Republican debates, we’ve done five,” Sullivan said. “There are somewhere around 18 debates pending. There is no way to do all of them, particularly as the elections are rapidly approaching in Iowa and New Hampshire.”
