perry, the texas governor who is running for the gop nomination. not in the newspaper hard copy, a lot of americans get, but in the online edition. he talked about the president and his birth certificate and he said he believes the president was born in the united states, but a little less confident on that birth certificate. of course, released earlier this year by hawaii after a request from the president. he went on in that interview to say i had dinner with donald trump and he doesn t think it was real. trump was flirting with a bid for the gop nomination and part of that was a push for the president to reveal his birth certificate and questions whether the president was born in hawaii. an interview released by cnbc john harwood, their top political guy. here s what perry said, take a listen. my grades ended up on the front page of the newspaper, if we re going to show stuff, let s show stuff. but, look, that s all a distraction. i get it. i m really not worried a ....

a distant second is rick perry, who spent a lot of time down there in florida, and pundits thought he would be the one to win that straw poll result. the other one that came out this weekend, michigan, and mitt romney is at the top. no surprise here. listen, romney was born in michigan. his father a former governor there. very popular. romney won the primary there back in 2008. he was expected to win. but perry did go up to michigan and campaign and he was a distant second. for perry, i think a lot of people are saying that those uneven debate performances, especially last week and the attacks on rick perry over his stance on illegal immigration, may be taking a toll. one other thing from the debates or from the straw polls, michele bachmann nowhere to be seen near the top. remember she won the straw poll in iowa in august. but she finished very low down in both of these straw polls. one thing about those, they are important. they are a gauge or a test or a barometer of ....
