The Guv likes some new media
From Eileen, there's a Statesman article by Selby about how Rick Perry likes talk radio:
Robert Black, Perry's deputy press secretary, said the governor seeks a general audience by accepting station invitations and initiating calls — sometimes without telling aides ahead of time.As Eileen notes, Perry doesn't seem to fond of that other new media -- blogs."If we've got a message we want to get out, we'll call," Black said. "There's a relationship built up over the years. Talk radio allows him to get his message directly to Texans, completely unfiltered.
"He enjoys talk radio. Talk radio shows are hometown shows. They're usually pleasant, not that controversial, though they will tackle tough subjects."

I think behind the scenes Team Perry is very interested in putting conservative bloggers to work for them.
I think, though, they may be discovering that it takes a little more to win conservative bloggers over to the cause than simply dangling the excitement of participating in a blogger conference call.
When the best argument you can make in favor of Perry is something along the lines of, "he's not as bad as the rest of this crappy field" it's not exactly inspiring stuff. Even if Team Perry sets up a blogger conference call or offers to set up a jogging interview. :)
