Rick Perry supporters want space at Iowa Straw Poll

Rick Perry is still cagey about whether he'll run for president, but some of his supporters are looking to make sure his potential campaign will have a presence at the upcoming Iowa Straw Poll should he decide to get into the race.

Per the Des Moines Register's Jennifer Jacobs, Americans for Rick Perry, a group looking to draft the Texas governor into the 2012 primary, is looking to reserve space at the Aug. 13 event.

"We intend to have some kind of impact at the straw poll," Bob Schuman, one of the group's organizers, tells the Register. "We just don't know what that is yet, but we're working on it."

The Republican Party of Iowa allocated space to GOP hopefuls in an auction last month. But outside groups can still reserve space—though it's unclear if Perry, should he attend, would be able to qualify for the poll or a speaking slot.

The Texas governor is scheduled to speak at a conference sponsored by the conservative blog RedState in South Carolina that day but a Perry spokesman told the Dallas Morning News his boss could still possibly attend both events.

After months of insisting he wasn't interested in a White House bid, Perry admitted in May he was re-thinking his decision. Last month, he said he believes GOP voters want more "options" in the race and told supporters he believes he might be able to fill that void.
