PASS CHRISTIAN — Texas Gov. Rick Perry, GOP candidate for president, on Thursday attended a fundraiser luncheon in Pass Christian hosted by former Mississippi gubernatorial candidate Dave Dennis and his wife, Jane.
“Rick’s just a good guy,” Dennis said. “We’ve known him and his wife, Anita, for several years. She has a lot of Mississippi kinfolk — her dad lives in Picayune and Bay Springs primarily. Four or five of her cousins came over today.”
Later at a press conference in Pearl, Perry, who’s trying to regain his position as a top-tier candidate, took shots at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. He challenged her to a debate on his plan to overhaul Congress, according to the Associated Press.
