video is here Rick Perry on Cavuto
He is also the first of the candidates, according to Cavuto to make an unequivocal pledge to support the Republican nominee.
I searched for this and couldn’t find it on FR. Excellent interview!
Is it possible to “embed” videos on FR?

IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.

This is just how Rick Perry is. After Hurricane Ike devastated my community, he came here to survey the damage. He did not just walk through here surrounded by security and news cameras and then make a speech. That's not Perry. He showed up in jeans and a work shirt, no cameras, no press conference, and he walked among all of us who had been hit. A hug, a pat on the shoulder, a listening ear, and an encouraging word. He saw to it that emergency shelters were being set up and food and water were available to everyone. When Obama/FEMA refused to help us, Governor Perry set up state funding to help us rebuild our homes and our lives. My home is at 'ground zero' where Ike came ashore. We all took tremendous damage. FEMA sent me a check two months later for $600 dollars. Governor Perry set up the Recovery Fund to help us all rebuild. That is what a true leader and a true Christian does. That's my Governor! I can't wait to see America under the caring wing of Rick Perry.
bump to watch at home.
Great interview this morning with Cavuto and yesterday with Brett Baier. Perry has hit his stride and now sounds like the candidate I’d thought he would be from the outset.
Looking forward to this evening.
Correction, I see the interview was actually done on the 18th. Still, very good interview.
I’m hopeful...it must take a few ‘bumps’ to hit your stride in politics and especially dealing with the media. These primaries are good training for the big leagues and I am glad he has fought on.
Two super interviews in a row for Rick Perry. He is so head and shoulders above any of the other candidates.
I can’t understand why he isn’t higher in the polls.
I’m actually getting scared about Romney which I never was because we have these flavor of the day candidates sucking up all the air in the room when basically their obvious, underlying flaws will eventually rule them out (IMO)
One thing I've noticed in these debates is the moderators tend to design the questions to help Romney make his case, while posing more accusatory questions to people like Perry, Bachmann, etc. It seems to me that Perry gets the worst questions (consistently) while Romney and Gingrich are given better questions.
For example, they will ask a "new" question to Romney and Gingrich such as, "Let's turn now to the economy. What would you do as president to create more jobs?"
The questions to Perry tend to be follow-up in nature, or accusatory. Such as, "Governor Perry, you just heard Mitt Romney suggest that your proposals won't work, is Governor Romney wrong?"
Or, "Governor Perry, an ABC News report shows Texas has the highest amount of uninsured residents. How can you say Texas is doing well when your state has the worst record of all 50 states on insuring the poor?"
Maybe I'm jaded, but that's how each one of these debates comes across to me. They never change. Its the same protocol in each debate.
I’m serious as a heart attack. Perry has very successful administrative experience. He’s conservative on every issue dear to the heart of most of us.
He has no ugly skeletons in his closet. He served his country and has strong family values and he’s a good looking dude.
