[Texas resident]

Were there any governors who refused to go?
Curious.

They should have stayed home. How can they go and hang out with the devil knowing full well what his intentions are.

from the article:

“Apologies to the many other VIPs. Presumably, all the governors in town for the NGA were at the dinner, but no attendance list was available. I can report that Texas’ chief executive, Rick Perry, nine days from the primary and never a fan of the NGA anyway, was home campaigning today.”
