A snippet from his press questioning after a bill signing yesterday, from the Texas Tribune:
Perry took several questions about comments he made over the weekend to the Des Moines Register. The governor told the paper in first-test Iowa that he felt as if he were being “called” to run for president, prompting some critics to conclude that he was attaching a religious connotation to his decision-making process.
Perry downplayed those remarks at the Texas Capitol Monday. He said his use of the word “called” should be taken more literally, comparing it to a call to his mother – or calls from gobs of friends and would-be supporters who think he should get in the race.
I’m confused. He “felt” he was being called by his friends and would-be supporters? Wouldn’t he know if he was being called by them?
