Texas Gov. Rick Perry is putting his presidential campaign into overdrive in the critical state of Iowa, starting a 42-city bust tour in the Hawkeye state. He starts today in Council Bluffs and will end his tour on December 31.
Perry has picked a critical time to jumpstart his tour, less than a month away from Iowa’s caucuses on January 3. For Perry, who is badly trailing in most polls, a last minute appeal in Iowa may be his only hope of gaining traction for the fast approaching primary season.
