Perry Sounds Out Presidential Bid

In private conversations with advisers, the Wall Street Journal reports Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) "has changed his tune on a possible presidential campaign. In private conversations, they say, the three-term governor said he worries that the current GOP contenders have yet to stir real excitement within the party and may struggle when facing President Barack Obama."

"Republican operatives in Washington and elsewhere say they have received calls recently from prominent Texas GOP donors seeking advice on how Mr. Perry might navigate a late entry into the field... Some of Mr. Perry's own top aides have had tentative discussions with unaffiliated campaign operatives who worked for previous Republican presidential candidates, according to people familiar with the exchanges."

Update: Sources close to Perry tell CBS News he is "serious" about making a run for the White House

All anyone has to do is trot out his record in TX and he's toast.
