Anita Perry, a no-nonsense nurse, overcomes shyness in signing on to win votes for her husband

AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Gov. Rick Perry is running for president, a spokesman confirmed Thursday, a move certain to shake up the race for the GOP nomination much to the delight of conservatives looking for a candidate to embrace.
Perry spokesman Mark Miner said the governor would make his intentions known on Saturday while visiting South Carolina and New Hampshire just as most of his presidential rivals compete in a test vote in Iowa.
Official word of Perry’s entrance into the race came just hours before eight candidates, including GOP front-runner Mitt Romney, were to appear on stage during a nationally televised debate.
It wasn’t much of a surprise. The longest-serving governor in Texas history has flirted with a presidential run since spring and has spent the past few months courting Republicans in early voting states and laying the groundwork for a campaign. He met privately with potential donors from California to New York and gave rabblerousing speeches to party faithful, casting himself as a fiscally responsible social conservative.
His intentions became even clearer over the past few days when officials disclosed that he would visit an important trio of states, a campaign-like schedule timed to overshadow the debate and the Iowa straw poll and, perhaps, wreak havoc on a field led by Romney.

Thanks for the links!
One remaining question, will Sarah Palin endorse him this weekend or wait until Monday?
Now you’re learning, LOL~..../s
I hate to say this, but I think the Democrat/DailyKos-Based Media Machine is going to eat this guy ALIVE...
And it won’t even matter if the attack lines are true or not.
That will make the RNC very happy.
Just in time to miss the debates. Another avoider like Palin.
He might be a decent veep for Sarah.
“One remaining question, will Sarah Palin endorse him this weekend or wait until Monday?”
I think she’ll endorse him soon after he announces. If Gov. Perry has the backing of Gov. Palin and her supporters, it will be a powerful alliance. Add to that the Evangelicals, the Tea Party, the GOP Establishment and major financial backers, we will have a tremendous front against Obama and the Democratic machine.
I can just picture them now... :o)
We are on the brink in this country and this is the best we can do? We need a REAL conservative to set things straight. Anything but Obama is not going to cut it anymore.....we are running out of time.
“One remaining question, will Sarah Palin endorse him this weekend or wait until Monday?”
What’s wrong with Labor Day, Sept 3rd when she’s speaking at the Iowa Tea Party event?
I agree, and I've been saying the same thing for some time! :)
You obviously need to read up on Gov. Perry.
