The Washington Post yesterday noted the difficutly Perry will have on staking out both sides of the issue with regard to states' rights:

Meanwhile, the woman in charge of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma Church Mobilization for Perry's The Response prayer rally says the Democratic party is controlled by demons.
