Perry's Political Predicament: Response to The Response

Rick Perry still plans to speak at "The Response" prayer meeting in Houston on Saturday - several times, as a matter of fact - despite criticism that his appearance could harm his expected candidacy for president. But a lot fewer people may hear him speak than he intended. At latest count, organizers had received just 8,000 RSVP's for an event at a stadium that holds 71,000 people.

After all the hoopla over "The Response" and Perry's personal promotion of it, he can't back out now. But I bet he wishes he could. This is turning into a political disaster for the Texas governor, and hardly the way one would like to launch a presidential campaign that's already late in getting started anyway.

He could make the case that the heat and drought in Texas deserves his undivided attention. Or he could fake an illness.

he didn't in college, so he doesn't now, either.

Yes, he should cancel it due to weather.
