AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) Inside the Texas governor's big, black SUV rides a small-town girl who never expected to be first lady of the state.

Power player? Must be one of those “behind the scenes” things. First time I heard of the woman she was whining (incorrectly) about Perry losing because of his religious beliefs.

I have a family full of nurses and nurses are no shrinking violets.

Tell me about it! My granddaughter is a nurse. ;)

If Perry is elected, would this be another 2-for-the-price-of-one “co-presidents” like Bill and Hillary?

I wouldn’t know Anita Perry if she walked into a room...and we both have lived in TX all our lives. She isn’t in the news a lot...or hasn’t been. LOL!

She is a real lady. She has never been front and center with the Governor. She supports him, but never interferes. I expect she would be interested in health related issues, but hardly a co-President.

She wasn't ‘whining’ but merely stating her opinion. Not that that would matter to you Tammy Bruce Republicans who take delight in smearing your betters.

A) I barely know who Tammy Bruce is.

B) If Mrs. Perry is my “better” by the fact that she married well, this nation is in worse trouble that I thought.
