Orange County Supervisor Shawn Nelson had a request for Gov. Rick Perry while introducing him before a speech today. According to a Washington Post account, Nelson asked for ‘some inflammatory rhetoric’ and then goaded the Texan by asking, ‘When an organization promises to give away more than what we mathematically know it takes in, what do you call it?’

Perhaps feeling a bit gun shy after his provocative performance at the debate last night, Perry completely failed to mention Social Security at all during his eight minute stump speech. Perhaps with an eye towards the presidents address tonight, he focused on jobs.
