Rick Perry, hungry for redemption, says he’s a ‘substantially different’ candidate

The man who could be president is ambling through the Texas governor’s mansion on his own, whistling “Frosty the Snowman” as he approaches the parlor to greet a reporter.

Gov. Rick Perry (R) leads a tour and points out a historically inaccurate depiction of frontiersman Davy Crockett in an oil painting in the foyer (“His coonskin cap — that’s a myth”). In Sam Houston’s bedroom upstairs, Perry lifts an antique upholstered settee, a gift from the French, to read an engraving signifying Texas’s early-1800s ties to France. He shows off a Civil War-era saber that belonged to a Union general and mentions having just read a thesis on race in America that his friend’s black father wrote in 1970.

Rick Perry is trying to show that he is not the Rick Perry you remember.

Perry v. Santorum cage match. I don’t think I’ll be letting the Washington post choose my candidate.

In 2012 I supported him until oops. This time around I see him as a possible VP or Cabinet Secretary, but not CIC. His time has passed, he had his shot.

Rick Perry hired that rat b@stard Steve Schmidt. That tells me he’s the same old Rick Perry that gave in state tutition to illegal immigrants.

Not my choice.
A hell of a lot better than Romney or McCain.

Don’t think we would lose as much of the base with perry as we had in 08 and 12. Still prefer a Cruz or Paul or Palin candidacy.

Here we go again....killing our own. You know damn well he's not a da. Realistically, he's the best of the lot except for perhaps Jeb....and that ain't gonna happen.

Ted?? He'll make a good Attorney General, Federal Judge or member of the USSC someday. That's what he does...debate.

Will have no problem voting for Perry.

Different candidate but with the same pro-ILLEGAL alien sentiment and history.

No thanks to La Raza Rick Perry all pro-amnesty Republicans.

“His time has passed, he had his shot.”

He shot a coyote while running (jogging). Made a Ruger Texas model Coyote Killer subcompact.380 because of that

We are resolved to stick to one person, not screw around with everybody’s pet favorites.

Perry had his shot and he blew it. HE can be the AG.
