Texas Gov. Rick Perry will make "a definitive announcement that he is in the 2012 race for the presidency Saturday," aides told Fox News.
The language is significant. For several days the Perry camp has said he would signal his intentions and announce later.
"This is it," the sources explain. No exploratory committee, no more deliberation.

Gov. Perry has my vote!
Just what we DON'T need.
Exactly. We’ve been down that road before.
Really? why? Im not at all impressed. I will vote for him of course but I sure wish someone would fall out of the sky? lol
He’s the one to beat Obama......
I think I’m going to stick with Bachmann until or unless she decides to get out.
By the way the Kinder Gentler Bush Sr. endorsed Hutchison over Perry as did James Baker and Dick Cheney.
If we are going to exclude someone like Perry as a supposed “RINO” then we might as well hand the next election to Obama. I dislike true RINOs as much as anyone, but Perry is NOT one.
This means Palin is not running....
Great news! Finally, a heavyweight candidate has entered the race that can send Obama back to Chicago, Hawaii or Kenya!
Could be Perry/Palin...
IMHO ...Perry is the one to beat Obama hands down!
Closed minds make for wrong conclusions.
“The poor” in Texas are represented by various activists groups who are saying this about Perry: that he likes to balance budgets “on the backs of the poor”.
That’s their published view.
I believe it was George W Bush who spoke of himself as a “compassionate conservative+. That was Bush, not Rick Perry.
The fact that they are both from Texas?
Millions upon millions are from Texas, and they are just as different as they can be.
Ron Paul, for instance?
H R Perot?
Sheila Jackson Lee?
I could go on, naming some very conservative Republican House Members, for instance, but why waste time and space.
The ad hominems and the guilt by distant, strained associations, never did fly, still don’t.
Why does Bush hate him?
Perry has negatives. “compassionate conservative” isn’t one he can be tagged with.
If you believe that, I've got an island I want to sell you.
I agree re: perry, but think Palin will stay off ticket. she can be more effective this way. She’ll run for Kyl senate seat in AZ, boost her credentials and perhaps flip the senate!
Quite repeating mindless lies and cliches.
Texas spends less per resident than any state in the union:

WASHINGTON — The Texas state government spends less money per resident than any other state in the country, according to a new survey that also ranks Texas as the fourth best-run state in the nation.
Where do you get off making up this garbage?
Because, he'll be "BUSH ON STEROIDS"! and he doesn't want to be known for that!
You obviously have no idea who Sarah Palin really is.
