Perry In 2012? First He Must Win In 2010
Before Gov. Rick Perry can consider something bigger—perhaps a spot on the 2012 GOP presidential ticket--there’s the matter of the 2010 election to attend to.

AUSTIN (March 6, 2010)--Before Gov. Rick Perry can parlay his victory in the state’s GOP gubernatorial primary into something bigger, such as a spot on the 2012 Republican presidential ticket, perhaps, he'll have to win a record-setting, third full four-year term.

And that means beating Bill White, the former Houston mayor who coasted to an easy victory in Tuesday’s Democratic primary.

White might be the Democrat with the cash and base of support to counter Perry's Texas swagger and cutthroat campaign style and end his undefeated streak at the ballot box.

Perry beat Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison in the GOP primary Tuesday with a relentless anti-Washington message, and his spokesman Mark
Miner says he’ll continue to drive home that message against White.

White, meanwhile, says he won't let Perry stray from his record on job losses and the dropout rate.

The only way Perry will win the President of the United States will be if he is running against Obama which by 2012 enough people will want Obama out of office.
