Texas Governor Perry to run for US president
None
Texas Governor Rick Perry will announce on Saturday that he will run for the 2012 Republican nomination for US president, CNN reported on Thursday.
Perry is a staunch social and religious conservative who stresses his strong job-creation record in Texas. That could help him compete with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney for the party's pro-business wing and make him a formidable challenger for Democratic President Barack Obama. (Reuters)
