Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas
Governor Perry is now said to be very close to “making his intentions clear” about his possible bid for the White House. This was met with excitement from conservative Republicans, many of whom have hoped for a candidate who can “prosecute Obamacare.” Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is the frontrunner now, but many on the right see his universal health care law as the blueprint for what was eventually passed by a Democratic Congress and signed by President Obama.
This promise of clarification also follows Democratic Strategist Jason Stanford’s assessment of this weekend’s prayer rally. Stanford, who has said he has a PhD in getting his butt kicked by Rick Perry, thinks the rally “establishes him (Perry) as the frontrunner for the Republican nomination.”
I talked with GOP Strategist Matt Mackowiak about all the recent developments today in the TSN/KRLD Austin Bureau. Take a listen:

The conversation went so long I had to break it into two parts for the website. Here we talked about the role of the economy in the upcoming election and the fact that a Perry vs Obama matchup would feature two of the best practitioners of politics we’ve seen in our lifetimes.
