Perry says he will consider White House run
By Jason Embry | Friday, May 27, 2011, 11:10 AM
Gov. Rick Perry today gave his strongest indication yet that he may run for president.
“I’m going to think about it” after the legislative session ends Monday, Perry said. He added, “But I think about a lot of things.”
For years, Perry has said that he would not run for president and that he had no interest in the job. He has often said that he has said no to the presidential question in as many ways as he could.
But he and his advisers have inched closer to saying he may run all week, following the announcement that Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels would not enter the GOP field. A couple of days ago, he told Greta Van Susteren on Fox News that a run was tempting.
Many conservatives have called on Perry to enter a field which could have room for a social and fiscal conservative with Perry’s energy and charisma. And, intentionally or not, the governor has set himself up for a run over the last couple of years, making a Texas/Washington contrast the focus of his 2010 re-election and writing a book called “Fed Up! Our Fight to Save America From Washington.”
Perry was asked about the presidency during a press conference to hail a voter-identification law that he has signed into law.
The presidential talk began when a reporter asked Perry for his reaction to the fact that the Hispanic Republican Conference of Texas, a group of state legislators, endorsed him for president on Thursday.
“I don’t make a lot of anything dealing with that until we get past the Monday deadline for this legislative session,” Perry said. “That’s our focus. I appreciate everybody’s interest. All of us know that the work at hand is the most important thing we have to do in getting this balanced budget finalized and passing pieces of legislation like this.”
Perry this morning:
-
he could very well be the guy. i'm suprised he waited this long.
-
I'd vote for him and think he would be a great candidate.
-
he's a scary candidate for obama.
perry could win. perry is a very potent threat in 2012.
-
I'd vote for him and think he would be a great candidate.

compared to obama - agreed. Can't lie on that.
-
The field is certainly wide open. Don't know much about Perry. What makes him a good candidate?
-
He is not well regarded by a significant portion of the Texas population.
-
anything to get him outta Texas !
-
He is not well regarded by a significant portion of the Texas population.
That means he has something in common with Ron Paul. :-\
-
I would put him right at the front of the pack, probably the leader, if he chooses to run.

How many aggies does it take to run the US?

I don't know. I work with some UT grads and whenever an aggie appears, they instantly trot out "How many aggies does it take to" do whatever task the aggie is supposed to be performing and then have a good laugh (among themselves).

Texas has added 37% of all jobs since the "recovery" began, which is more than every other state combined (minus NY and PA). Obviously he's doing something right, which is staying the fuck out of the way.
Funny that Texas, with its minimal government intrusion, is booming and added 250k or so jobs while California, with the fifth largest economy on the planet yet also with regulations and government tentacles in everything, is cratering under crushing debt and has lost 1,000 jobs in the process.
Tell us again how awesome socialism is! ::)

the other, really old Aggie joke:

Boss.

That's pretty lame. You gotta at least have a punchline.
I know some UT grads too, and they're the same way (always telling Aggie jokes). I also know some Aggie grads, and they love their school. Hate UT.

Badass spotting scope.
