Contrary to what he was saying, by 2010, Perry already had three presidential PACs (that we know of) teeming with money.
One PAC raised $55 million AT THE SAME TIME Perry was promising trusting native Texans he would NOT run for president if they reelected him governor.
Perry needed to get reelected governor b/c he was all set to run for president and he knew a sitting governor has more creds as a presidential candidate.
Trusting Texans rely too much on what their governor tells them----better start looking at what he does. The two are not always the same.
If that's true, then i stand corrected. What is your source? And do we know that Perry himself was wanting to be President, and not just his sycophants pushing for it?
As an aside, there are a ton of people here who were affected by our latest budget cuts (including me), and many of those people are very unhappy with Perry because of it, saying he's cold-hearted and ruthless and uncaring, blah, blah, blah. Too bad, so sad. It's time to slash and burn, imo. I'll vote for whoever convinces me they have the testicular fortitude to fight and not retreat once they get to D.C. At this point, i'll vote for anyone but romney.
Who are you rooting for?
