More on Rick Perry
Description from Wikipedia:
James Richard "Rick" Perry (born March 4, 1950) is a Republican politician and the current Governor of Texas.
Elected Lieutenant Governor of Texas in 1998, he assumed office as governor in December 2000 when Governor George W. Bush resigned before his inauguration as President of the United States. Perry was elected to two full terms in 2002 and 2006.
Perry served as chairman of the Republican Governors Association in 2008, succeeding Sonny Perdue of Georgia. He now serves as Finance Chair.
Perry has broken all prior records in terms of Texas gubernatorial tenure, breaking Allan Shivers' consecutive service record of 7 1/2 years in June 2008 and Bill Clements' total service record of eight years (over two non-consecutive terms) in December 2008. As a result, according to the Dallas Morning News, Perry has had the distinction of being the only governor in modern Texas history to have appointed at least one person to every possible state office, board, or commission position to which a Governor of Texas can appoint someone (as well as to several elected offices to which the governor can appoint someone to fill an unexpired term, such as five of the nine current members of the Texas Supreme Court). Should Perry complete his current term in 2010, he will become the first Governor of Texas to complete two consecutive four-year terms.
Perry has announced his intention to run for an unprecedented third consecutive four-year term in 2010. He faces a challenge in the Republican primary election from U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, Texas Secession candidate Larry Kilgore, and Wharton County Republican Party Chairwoman Debra Medina.
