Yesterday, while Texas Gov. Rick Perry was campaigning at the Iowa State Fair, a reporter from Politico.com asked him whether he was armed. Perry, a known gun owner and enthusiast, refused to answer the question.
“That’s why it’s called ‘concealed,’ ” Perry told the reporter.
And that’s why — unless there are some Texas-sized skeletons in his closet — we’ll be calling Perry “the Republican nominee.”
Can you imagine Mitt Romney answering the question that way? More significantly, can you imagine Mitt being asked? Of course Mitt’s not packing. The last thing Mitt fired was a few thousand employees at the latest company “rescued” by Bain Capital.
But with Rick Perry, you just never know.
(FWIW - Iowa does, under its new law, recognize Texas carry permits).
