I'm not convinved Perry should be the GOP candidate but have to laugh at media attempts to control opinions.
In the debates, Williams should have said that all candidates other than Perry and Romney could stay home because there was no way a question would be directed to them, or that they would get a chance to respond.
And I'm sure that this article will make it into Perry attacks:
Texas wildfire victims wondering where Perry is
(AP) – 12 hours ago
BASTROP, Texas (AP) — Residents affected by a devastating Central Texas wildfire are growing impatient with state officials and questioning why Gov. Rick Perry hasn't spent more time there.
Some residents yelled at Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst when he visited the command center in Bastrop County Friday, asking where Perry is and why they haven't had any housing help.
Wildfires have destroyed nearly 1,400 homes about 25 miles from Austin.
Perry, running for the Republican nomination for president, interrupted his campaign and returned to Texas for two days before heading to California for a debate Wednesday. He is now fundraising in California.
Perry's office said "everything that needs to be done to respond to these fires is being done."
Dewhurst said the White House hasn't yet replied to a request for federal aid.
It is true that despite thousands of homes being burned, that the politics of the white house have resulted in their refusal to reply to repeated requests for federal aid. But here's the rest of the story.........
It ends up the AP's "Inpatient Residents" was actually ONE person, a NON RESIDENT of Texas, making an inquiry about why Perry wasn't in Texas. AP pulled the "story".
The Associated Press has withdrawn its story about Texas residents questioning why Gov. Rick Perry has not spent more time in areas affected by wildfires. The single person who asked about Perry's involvement was not an area resident.
