People should take a look at that clip and then ask themselves what the chances are that Perry could be Obama in a general election.

Yes, you are right...he can’t announce before...it’d look terrible if he did...but praying for the USofA...at the end he’ll announce. He has to announce at least a week before the Ames Straw Poll...and that puts him a week before the straw poll.

Lord willing, I think Perry will announce at this event:

Oh, I hope not. It would be extremely disrespectful to turn a prayer event into a political event. The only focus of the event should be prayer for our troubled nation.

If he does I think he’ll doom any chances be they great or slim to basically none, imo. This is a prayer event and not a political event and he should respect it as such.

I don’t think so...it is NOT about politics.

I think you're playing up the religious angle too much. Earlier today, he said it comes down to whether his donors can pledge the money and resources he needs. He's actually getting together tonight with like 30 or 40 donors behind closed doors to discuss whether he should or can run. It's a situation that's foreign to him - he's used to people being able to give however much they want to give in Texas races, but in a Presidential race, there's a limit of $2,500.

I know Perry brought up God somewhere, but it's going to come down to what those 30 or 40 people decide tonight. If they tell Perry that they can go out and get enough other people to write $2,500 checks, then he'll run.
