Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) told the Texas Tribune that he is leaning toward running for re-election in 2014 and possibly another stab at the White House two years after that.
“There are no term limits in Texas… If he does run, Perry could wind up serving a total of 18 years in
the governor’s office and he would complicate the plans of a host of
other statewide elected officials.”
