Perry edges toward presidential run amid GOP field shifts
A Texas lobbyist critique cites Gov Rick Perry’s leadership as lacking while noting Perry’s shift from no run to considering a candidacy. The piece maps a crowded field with Mitt Romney Newt Gingrich Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin as potential contenders and discusses Texas electoral influence and possible running mates. It cites Perry’s record longest-serving Texas governor Trump’s exit and 38 electoral votes for Texas in 2012.
