DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad says he think it's very likely that Texas Gov. Rick Perry will jump into the Republican presidential race and reshape the campaign for Iowa's leadoff presidential caucuses.

"I get the definite impression he's very likely to run," Branstad told The Associated Press on Saturday, basing his opinion on a conversation the two Republican governors had Friday.

Branstad said Perry told him his family wants him to run. Branstad also said he expects Perry to visit Iowa in the next month or so.

Perry would alter the race in Iowa, were he to get in, Branstad said.

Ah, just what this country needs: a Repub governor from Texas in the Oval Office.. :puke:

much of a problem beating any of the others, but Perry I worry about. He's crazier than Shrub was, but that idiot got elected at least once.

He has that macho cowboy thing goin' on like reagan and bush. :puke:

that initially the Pub Party Washington elite were behind 2 other candidates but both dropped out, and now they're pushing for Perry. If they put all their mney behind him, it's going to be a really tough battle for us to win.

I only HOPE him having this big prayer meeting and things like it will work enough against him to make him lose.

PS: I think it was Rachel's show on Friday.

if the Pub elites support him along with the righties, it worries me...a lot!

What makes him think he won't get outed?

Of the lying SOB for years. Don't expect him to carry Texas.

Get the bumper sticker presses ready.

I chatted with him yesterday; he thinks Perry's ego is too big to say "no".

Just In Case. If the wackadoo's give this secessionist, gawd-told-me-to-do-it lunatic the nod, they have to be able to pretend he isn't a lunatic.
