Gov. Rick Perry today gave his strongest indication yet that he may run for president.
“I’m going to think about it” after the legislative session ends Monday, Perry said. He added, “But I think about a lot of things.”
For years, Perry has said that he would not run for president and that he had no interest in the job. He has often said that he has said no to the presidential question in as many ways as he could.
But he and his advisers have inched closer to saying he may run all week, following the announcement that Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels would not enter the GOP field. A couple of days ago, he told Greta Van Susteren on Fox News that a run was tempting.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Friday he would consider entering the GOP presidential race once the Texas legislative session is over, but a spokesman later said he is not intending to make a bid for the White House.
"His position has not changed -- he has no intention of running for president," Perry spokesman Mark Miner told CBS News today.
Miner made the comments after the Associated Press reported Perry said he would think about a run after the current legislative session ends Monday.

Perry won't get in!
He'd be a fun addition to the other's who wasted their cash on running.
Is Perry the kind of guy Palin can get behind? Since apparently, she doesn't see anyone who fills her bill yet.
