This is Gov. Rick Perry's best shot at becoming president, Sen. John Cornyn says.
Cornyn, the GOP's top Senate strategist, is remaining neutral in the presidential contest but told Texas reporters in his weekly call today that there would never be a better time for Perry, before the field solidifies.
"I would say that if Gov. Perry decides to run for president, this is probably the best opportunity that he would ever have, while people are still looking for a Republican nominee for president," Cornyn said.
He reiterated that Texas' record on job creation gives Perry "a good story to tell." And he downplayed any concerns about Perry's lack of foreign policy experience.
"Obviously that's not something that Gov. Perry would have a lot of experience with at the national level but that's the kind of thing that could be satisfied" by picking a strong running-mate, cabinet members and aides who "could easily fill any gaps there."
