Advisers and elected allies of Texas Gov. Rick Perry tell Whispers that the Republican will join the crowded field of presidential hopefuls by the end of August...
Perry's entry will be a "game changer," said Mark Meckler, cofounder of the Tea Party Patriots, the nation's largest umbrella group for the movement. "It changes the equation because he has a record to run on." That record, added Meckler, is the "Texas miracle" of growth and economic prosperity....
Polls show substantial support for Perry. Gallup today has him winning in the South and within striking distance of leading the pack in the Midwest and East. [Read more about the 2012 presidential election.]
One very close adviser said that Perry keeps in contact with key governors from around the nation, like Barbour, Daniels, and even Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, who runs the other state with a good employment and economic record. There's even talk that if he wins the nomination, he'd pick one of those three as a runningmate.

I’m glad to see this. The race on the GOP side would instantly become Perry’s to lose.

Palin...Time to get to work!Great, and I will support her too. Problem is, there is still no solid reason to beleieve Governor Palin intends to run. If anything, it begins to appear to me that isn't going to.

I wont vote for Perry. He made that HPV Vaccinne manditory for 12 year old girls in Texas, and it was completely unknown, he had/has ties with Merck. To me, this was Evil, and I will never vote for him for my president.

He was giving speeches to La Raza as recently as a year ago and the pro amnesty groups love him.

BTW, when did Perry become a Conservative ? About the same time as Slick Willard ? What is it with your instant attraction to good-haired RINO flipflopping prima donnas ?

ZING !!!
Hope you have an asbestos suit handy, FRiend....methinks you’re going to need it. It’s nice to insinuate anything bad about Her Holiness, St. Palin. ;-)
I haven’t made up my mind on anyone yet. Get back to me around Spring of next year. Personally, I’m of the opinion that Presidential campaigns shouldn’t last longer than ninety days.
