Fort Worth Star-Telegram
SAN ANTONIO - Gov. Rick Perry, who is nearing a decision on a presidential run, drew a tepid response Thursday as he reached out to Hispanics at a national gathering of Latino officials and political leaders.
After his address at the 28th annual conference of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, Perry told the Star-Telegram that he is continuing to eye a potential 2012 bid for the White House.
Perry spoke for nearly 13 minutes, touting his record of Hispanic appointments and striking familiar themes about Texas job growth and the state's robust economy. The more than 600 Hispanic leaders applauded politely after the address. A few stood, but the remainder stayed seated.
