Rick Perry, who earlier this week called his participation in recent presidential debates a "mistake," plans to limit his participation in upcoming forums heading into the heat of the primary season.
The Texas governor and 2012 hopeful will participate in a CNBC debate scheduled for Nov. 9 in Michigan, but a top aide told CNN's John King his boss may not commit to many more face-offs after that.
"We're about 60 days away from votes being cast," Ray Sullivan, Perry's communications director, told CNN.
