It’s Pretty obvious Perry’s not interested in his run....he never wanted it to begin with. He loves being Governor of Texas and that’s where he should be..and he knows it.

Perry entered the race having just come out of back surgery. Anybody had this and try standing all day, trying to prepare for campaigning, not to mention speeches, when your back is killing you? After hearing this, being an RN, I understand and not only the seeming to be unprepared, but having gone under anesthesia, one’s memory is effected for a few months, so you forget things (he probably knew what he wanted to say, but it would not cooperate and come to the tip of his tongue). Under pressure of a debate, it would be a miracle to get through with no lapses. This is a fact. He has clearly done better, now that the effects have dissipated. One thing I like about him is his humble demeanor. He does not come across as arrogant, and probably would not make us feel that he is our superior, like someone else we all know. He listens to people, he thinks things through and changes course when he sees it is necessary or the best way forward. Very good traits for a president, I’d say. He’s not stuck in a rut and doing it his way or we get the highway. To be honest, I think his personableness will come through in the debates with Obama, should he win the nomination. That is another plus!

He did give his word last year during the Republican primaries that he would serve out his term as Governor if we elected him again, and giving your word in Texas is a big deal.

It's possible that he wants to keep his word to Texans and serve out the rest of his term as Governor, and he appears to be doing just that.
