<<<<I don't think we know much about Perry yet>>>>

How can you say that? He has been governor and written books - we have more information on him than perhaps any other serious nomination. You say you doubt he will bring his religion into politics - to which I say bull. You are certainly free to your own beliefs - and so am I. I would dearly love to vote for a republican but every one seems to be tied at the neck to the religious right. Not religion - which few have a problem with - but religion of the type makes them say that they are running because "God told them to". If you believe God told you to run, God can tell you to do anything. From Wikepdia on Perry;

Perry has called himself "a firm believer in intelligent design as a matter of faith and intellect", and has expressed support for its teaching alongside evolution in Texas schools but also that "educators and local school officials, not the governor, should determine science curriculum." [92] When asked about evolution, Perry responded: "Well, God is how we got here. God may have done it in the blink of the eye or he may have done it over this long period of time, I don't know. But I know how it got started."
