Earlier today it was thought that Texas Governor Rick Perry would not participate in the Republican Presidential Debate tomorrow night. This was due to Perry making a statement that he was “substantially more concerned” about the wildfires than the debate. While this is a natural reaction for any human being; understood in context, he is just one man who cannot do a whole lot on the ground. However, he can do a heck of a lot on the phone given his current political aspirations. First he stole the spotlight from the Iowa Straw Poll, and then the consideration of even skipping his first debate and letting that be known is a little too much political gamesmanship in my opinion. Like Obama unrealistically scheduling his speech to a joint session of Congress on jobs to take place at the same time the GOP debate was to be held, or closer to home, like Governor Steve Beshear at Fancy Farm this year.
