Perry's announcing his 2016 intentions on Thursday in Dallas at 10:30am Central time:

He has a New Hampshire event coming up in a few days:

so it would be awkward if he announces he's not running.

Of course he's running. I think he manages to snag one of those top 10 debate slots.

Of course he's running. When compared with the current crop of clowns, even his 2012 run looks good.

God bless the crazy conservative circus that is the Republican presidential primary. Now if only we could get Hermann Cain, Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin in there.

Rick Perry was the governor of the country's second largest state for 15 years...and yet even most Republicans think he is a second tier clown. DOA

Well, if you believe Perry's medical alibi about that little brain fade, maybe this time his mind will work like a Swiss watch. What do you think? Smiley

I love that Perry's started to wear glasses rather than contacts in an effort to look more intelligent.

Man, a Rick Perry/Donald Trump debate on stage would be the most entertaining thing ever.

I still think people are underestimating Perry. There is a reason he was the frontrunner at one point. If he can perform well in the debates (assuming he gets in) then he will be taken seriously again.

The debates this year are going to be golden, grade A entertainment. Somehow even better than 2012.

Two months from tomorrow until round 1.
