Gov. Rick Perry, attending a gathering of Republican governors in Grapevine near Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, told at least one reporter Thursday he’s intending to run for governor again in 2010. Here’s the snippet sent out by the Dallas Morning News:
“When asked whether the gubernatorial field would include Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and himself, Perry responded, ‘I don’t know about them, but it will be Perry in 2010.’”
If this holds, Perry, who is 58 now, would be seeking his third full four-year term. Nothing in state law or the Texas Constitution restricts governors to any term or time limits.
