Rick Perry is George W. Bush 2.0 – And That’s a Good Thing. By Solomon Kleinsmith
By Solomon Kleinsmith I don’t have as much of a feel for Texas Governor Rick Perry’s place along the political spectrum as I do for, say, Michelle Bachmann – but from his early positioning he does seem to be going after the same general area of the GOP tent.

GOP Absentees Quietly Stalk Iowa
By PATRICK O’CONNOR DES MOINES, Iowa—For all the talk about Michele Bachmann and other GOP White House hopefuls actively campaigning in Iowa, much of the speculation centers on two conspicuously absent Republicans: Mitt Romney and Texas Gov.

Perry Remains Coy
By DAVE MONTGOMERY AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Gov.
