Will Hutchison endorse Perry in her announcement? (the "best interest of Texas" line seems to say that the Republican party might be influencing her decision.)
Some would say the timing of Hutchison's announcement not to run for Gov. Friday eve helped Strayhorn Sat. We'll see if and who she endorses in time. Perry is not a good Gov. by any standard, I'd expect her to endorse Strayhorn.
