MURRAY, Ky. (AP) - Texas Gov. Rick Perry threw his support behind U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell on Saturday, telling 300 fellow Republicans that the minority leader will win re-election.
McConnell finds himself in a GOP primary fight with wealthy businessman Matt Bevin, who attended the event but wasn’t allowed to speak.
“I love the number six,” Perry told the crowd at the Lincoln Reagan Dinner of West Kentucky. “Sam Houston was 6 foot 6 inches tall. And Mitch McConnell is going to be in his sixth term as United States senator.”
Organizers said the dinner was supposed to unite the Kentucky GOP behind one mission: taking control of the Kentucky House of Representatives in November. But speakers talked just as much about taking control of the U.S. Senate so McConnell could become majority leader.
“The future of America is inextricably intertwined with Kentucky and how these elections come out this time,” Perry told the crowd.

I hate my governor becoming a target. I have a wait-and-see attitude on him. He has been great for Texas....never mind the critics.
IMO, Rick Perry is shaping up to be nothing more than a spoiler candidate. He should not be taken very seriously.
So you actually advocate voting for Democrats over Republicans?
It’s hard to know your point (except you aren’t too bright, e.g. I did not vote for Arnold, nor Bustamente - I want fooled. So don’t take out your stupidity on the rest of us.
You also have libleftyitis where you think the world must be perfect or else it is thoroughly corrupt.
You, like the lib lefties, compare your idea of paradise to what we have, and because we don’t live in a paradise of your imagination, you want to destroy and become nihilistic.
You don’t have to convince me. I’m there.
At one time in the past I had Perry on my favorites listing for POTUSA. As time wore on he was slipping to the bottom of the list. Now with his promoting of McConnell I have erased his name.
