Texas Gov. Rick Perry will announce that he is running for president on Saturday in South Carolina, a Republican familiar with the plans told CNN. Previous reports had indicated that Perry would use a speech at the conservative RedState Gathering in Charleston to make his intentions clear, but would stop short of officially announcing a presidential bid. But the Republican source told CNN that Perry will be in the Republican presidential race on Saturday.

#1. To: Says Bush Prodded Him To Run, ALL, *Tea Party On Parade* (#0)
Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) talked to former President George W. Bush last month about possibly running for president. In an interview with Time magazine, Perry, who's set to make an announcement about entering the race this weekend in South Carolina, said he has decided he wants to be president. And he said his predecessor in Texas governor prodded him toward running. " 'You’ll do what’s right,' " Perry said Bush had told him when Perry called the former president on his birthday. "He said you don’t want to wake up when you’re 70 and go, 'I wish I had tried that. I wish I had done that.' " More at link... Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Romney has Obamacare, Perry has his immigration views. The state's population has grown by 4.1 million in the last 10 years, 65% of those are Hispanic, 25% are immigrants. ----- http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iLCF8tS2G2W-ycb7pEqdLKRy-oBg? docId=91008bd4f1ea456c92d627b60f5c5022 State government jobs in Texas grew 19% on his watch as well.

Perry has a 42% approval rating. PPP's June poll had Obama beating Perry in Texas 47-45.

Ron Paul has a serious chance to win the Iowa straw poll on Saturday. If that happens, Bachmann's donations will dry up and this will quickly turn into a Romney versus Perry race.
Perry and Bush don't like each other
it's that anyway IMHO. Bachmann is a loon who is running ads saying she would never support raising the debt limit after voting to raise it just a few months ago.

But Perry and Al Gore do (or at least they did when Perry ran Al Gore's presidential campaign in Texas in 1988).

Reagan started out as a Democrat too. I like people who can admit that they are wrong and change direction. That's a rare trait among the idiots in D.C. today.
If Perry's rain prayer doesn't kick in by Saturday, he's history!
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.

Illegal immigrants can get in-state tuition at Texas universities. Neither employers nor state agencies are required to run job applicants through a federal database to determine their legal status. Illegal immigrants have access to services for drug treatment, mental health and children with special health care needs.
Perry's comments that the U.S.-Mexico border fence was "idiocy" and that efforts to deny citizenship to U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants are "divisive," have rung in the ears of anti-illegal immigration conservatives.
