I'm just the opposite. I am a Perry supporter not located in Texas and think he shouldn't pass on the debate. I don't buy the rationale for not debating.

Are you kidding me? We have a state emergency going on. It's the Governor's job to be here, and involved in handling the crisis.

Get your priorities straight, friend.

The Governor is not fighting any wild fires and has plenty of staff helping him through this crisis. I also feel certain the Governor has a cell phone and can be reached and consulted during the trip (with the exception of the 90 minute debate). There is absolutely no reason why he can’t participate in the debates.

From the following article I understand that he will now come to the debates which is the right thing to do. He doesn’t need to pull a “McCain”.
