Rick Perry to announce presidential run June 4 in Dallas

Source: Dallas Morning News

Former Gov. Rick Perry has chosen Dallas to officially declare his second run for the Republican presidential nomination in three weeks.

For months Perry has said that he would announce his decision in May or June. But his constant travel to the early contest states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida has left little doubt of his intentions.

Perry joins a burgeoning field of contenders, including fellow Texan Sen. Ted Cruz.

The announcement was made via the Twitter account of his wife, Anita.

His behavior has all the marks of an obsession. Getting the nomination is an impossibility for him. The same for Carly Fiorina.

Not sure of the exact details but I think once they with draw the former candidates can use the donated money for what they want?

I got the idea maybe that's what Bush is doing this last month. He has just been going to get big money from people on the coast instead of campaigning in Iowa or NH.

is for the PAC money. He knows he can't make nomination, but he knows a lot of suckers will donate and he can keep it.
