Governor Rick Perry took some questions via satellite from Iraq, where he is currently visiting the troops. He gave us his take on the new speaker:

Is Straus fit for speaker?
I've known Joe for a long time, and what I suspect Joe will do as speaker of the Texas House is.. he'll take all the considerations of all the issues and go far with them. I know where I stand on them.

On his differences with Straus on the abortion issue (Straus is pro-choice, Perry pro-life)
I'm going to work with Joe. And I'm gonna work everyday to make sure that any issues we don't share the same ideas on, that we can find an appropriate solution. But I won't be changing my ideas one iota when it comes to the pro life issues.
