** Carl Cameron of FNC was on air 10 mins. ago, and related he received a message from a Perry aide just before air time saying Perry's all in -- will announce Saturday, and will jump right into campaigning next week.

Will likely be on FNC site soon.

He has my vote!

AND here it is:

EXCLUSIVE: Top Aide to Rick Perry Tells Fox News the Texas Governor Will Enter GOP Presidential Race

Excerpt:

Texas Gov. Rick Perry will make "a definitive announcement that he is in the 2012 race for the presidency Saturday," aides told Fox News.

The language is significant. For several days the Perry camp has said he would signal his intentions and announce later.

"This is it," the sources explain. No exploratory committee, no more deliberation.

Works for me. Palin is still my number one and I await her words on the subject, but if she bows out then Perry is my candidate for the Republican nomination for President.

(I even think it’s possible Palin will endorse Perry this weekend.)

[el_texicano]

so, this is Perry’s pre-announcement announcement?

[Grunthor]

Not really a huge fan of Perry at this point but willing to give him a listen to. I’ve looked into his record and there are a few things that give me pause. Right now I am backing in order;

1. Bachmann/Cain

2. Palin

3. Santorum

4. Paul

5. Perry.

I expect, if he has answers to certain policy misteps in his history, I’ll move him up on my short-list.

Hallelujah! A Christian, Air Force Veteran and Governor from Texas! Does it get any better?

ALL YOUR POTUS ARE BELONG TO PERRY

[TomGuy]

The FoxNews Republican debate is tonight.

Will Perry show up for it?

[RexBeach]

A “calmness in his heart “ about running? Oh no, not again.

Hey, if thiss guy gets the nod, I’ll vote for him, but i won’t be jumping up down with excitement.

His voice sounds like GWB.

[Andy from Chapel Hill]

From a purely mercenary point of view, if Perry picks Allen West or Herman Cain as his VP, then the election is won.

My (limited) insight into the black community is that they are afraid that Obama has ruined the chance for any black to ever be elected to national office again. With Cain or West running, they can either stay home knowing that one of their own is in the inner circle and that political philosophy is more important than race.

[Truth is a Weapon]

If I were just picking out of all possible candidates, Perry would not be my first choice. But if he jumps ahead of Romney, I am all in.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

Great! then he can move the Mexican border up to the Oklahoma line and make a 20 lane express entrance for the mexican trucks and illegals along the revamped eminent domain claimed Trans Texas Corridor (perry’s brain child) all the way to the KC super terminal

Think I’ll wait for Palin...

Thanks anyway.

Pity. Another Arnold.

Romney is TEXAS TOAST!

[Mase]

Excellent! Finally someone who can win.

Time for Mitt to head south in the polls and go back to wherever it is he came from.

This could be a good thing. He’ll split the establishment vote with Romney.

[6ppc]

Perry’s not perfect, but he’s the most electable of the acceptable candidates. He’ll have my vote as long as he doesn’t screw the pooch.

[dfwgator]

We shall see.

Greeeat! ((rolls eyes))

Another RINO to the list...
