Perry has served 26 years since first winning election, as a Democrat, to the Texas state House in 1984.

Perry's record on immigration is similar to that of his predecessor, George W. Bush. He even supported a statewide law providing for in-state tuition for illegal immigrants — a federal version of which was opposed by most Republicans in Congress.

The Texas governor, in a 2006 editorial, also called a fence along the border with Mexico "cost prohibitive," remarks sure to draw the ire of many conservatives.

One of the most noteworthy blunders of Perry's career is one he himself now admits was a mistake. In 2007, Perry issued an executive order to make a vaccine for the human papillomavirus, a cause of cervical cancer, mandatory for girls entering sixth grade.

In 2003, Perry unveiled a plan to build a network of highways across Texas, called the Texas Trans-Corridor. Six years later, the $175 million, 6,000-mile project had been dumped.

Endorsing Al Gore in 1988: Perry supported the former Tennessee senator when he ran for president in 1988.
