Glenn Beck and his beloved sidekick Pat Gray, who used to live in Texas, recently had a conversation with some people very close to Rick Perry with regard to their concerns about him as a candidate. These are people who Beck, without divulging their identities, says that he trusts and that if he could tell you who they were it would only add credibility to their words. What they told him was that in the last four years Rick Perry has had a God-moment:
Beck: Here’s what I was told and I believe these people because they’re not just bandwagon fans by any stretch of the imagination. They had real problems with George W. Bush. And they said to me ‘Here’s the thing. This guy had a God-moment, if you will, an awakening of something inside of him…’
Gray: A spiritual awakening
Beck: Yeah. I mean he’s always been a spiritual guy but he has had something that has changed in him fundamentally where he’s like ‘OK wait a minute. Hang on just a second. Do I believe this or not? Do I apply this or not?’ And that’s what’s happened to him in the last four years that has put his feet in cement.
Beck and Pat both agree they are not making an endorsement, but it does seems their minds have been changed about Perry.
The above is all part of a bigger monologue on how the Bush people are coming out in support of Sarah Palin running for president, which to Beck means they are really just opposing Rick Perry. They think, just as the media supported McCain, that Rove and his people supporting Palin as a way of hurting Rick Perry...

GB needs to do more homework
Rove supporting Palin? Really? Really???! Argh!
Oh that’s it! Glen Beck is now a RINO! < /sarcasm off>
The more I read about this guy the more I don’t like him.
Please, he is good with the macro view, but he was hot on Romney once, Aggh... He is about as good pick-in-um and Dick Morris, I give him a pass on this one....
Rick Perry is the real deal. Sarah Palin is the real deal. Michele Bachmann is the real deal. Each of them has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
I like Glenn Beck. Most of the time his radio show is hard to listen to and I find myself drifting off in a daydream but I agree with his views on a lot of things.
Marl Levin was hot on Romney last time around too.
Palin waited too long. The train has finally left the station without her....and it won't back up.
Prominent names and smart monies now feel free to finalize their choices. The most notable magnet of the field is certainly candidate Perry, as the polls indicate.

Though I have to say, it really is a clever strategy. Transform Palin into the covert Bush candidate, and all that Rove is doing to hurt her is really reverse psychology to make her more appealing to the “We miss GWB” crowd. Riiiight.
this is getting weirder and weirder
See you in September
Wow, talk about taken out of context....
Glenn Beck is now picking my candidate, just like the left wing media.
I'll pick my own candidate, thank you Mr. Beck.
The only man I’ve ever seen who cries more than Speaker Boehner.
Unfortunately, Romney was about the best it was going to get last time...of the final three or four. Last time is he campaigned more conservatively than the field. This time he is to the left of the field.
I don't think Sarah ever really wanted to run. I think she is willing to, if there were no other good candidates out there and she felt the country needed her. As those who know here well say, she hs a servant's heart. But I think she is probably quite happy to let Perry (who she likes and supported for reelection) take the standard and lead the charge.
Of course I could be completely wrong.
