Gov. Perry's Website Updated Before Speech

Shortly before Governor Rick Perry took the stage in Charleston, South Carolina to announce his presidential candidacy, his political website spilled the beans. RickPerry.org posted the following:

Live from the RedState Gathering in South Carolina, Texas Governor Rick Perry announces his candidacy for President of the United States and his plan to put America back to work. 1:00pm Eastern – About 700 conservative activists are crammed into a ballroom and overflow room at the Francis Marion hotel in Charleston, South Carolina awaiting Texas Governor Rick Perry.

The website also invites people to sign up for the campaign.
