I'll bet that most of those who say that don't live in Texas. Some folks just have their priorities muddled.

Yes, I believe so.....but as Perry said himself..."People are more important than politics right now".

I suspect if they get these resonably contained though he will likely go to the debate...but he set a good example by going there and speaking to the people and finding out first hand what was going on. No doubt the fire fighters appreciated the "boss" coming home.

Indeed, Perry definitely did the right thing by flying home to personally manage the response to the fire crisis. I won't begrudge him a return to the debate, as long as everything's under control from the management end, and he can be spared.
