Second chance? Perry in Iowa again courting voters
Source: ASSOCIATED PRESS
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Texas Gov. Rick Perry is visiting Iowa for the fourth time in eight months, hoping for a second chance to win over Republican voters who delivered him a stinging caucus loss when he ran for president two years ago.
Perry, 64, hasnt said if he plans to run again in 2016. But hes clearly considering it and is meeting Saturday and Sunday with veterans and conservative activists in the northern Iowa communities of Algona and Clear Lake.
Perry has been raising funds for GOP candidates and seeking advice from political insiders since November. He is signaling hes committed to the grassroots politicking that Iowas Republican faithful expect and that many felt he didnt prioritize when he ran two years ago.
Whether Iowa voters give Perry a second chance remains to be seen. But GOP volunteer Joni Scotter believes Perry a relatively late entry into the 2012 race could make a comeback in the state whose caucus kicks off the presidential primary season.
