Guest Sideliner Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Texas Gov. Rick Perry pulled out of conservative straw poll Posted: September 18th, 2009 11:41 AM ET From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby Gov. Rick Perry is currently battling Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison for the GOP nomination. WASHINGTON (CNN) – Texas Gov. Rick Perry was originally included on 2012 Presidential Straw Poll ballot at this weekend's Values Voter Summit in Washington, but his staff requested that his name be removed. A spokesman for Perry's re-election campaign told CNN that the request was made because the two-term governor is not thinking about running for President, but is instead "focused on running for governor." Perry is currently battling Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison for the GOP nomination. The governor, however, is still attending the conference and is slated to speak on Saturday. The potential Republican candidates on the straw poll ballot are: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Indiana Rep. Mike Pence, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
