Gov. Rick Perry’s wife, Anita, delivered an emotional speech today in South Carolina in which she repeatedly states her belief that her husband was called by God to run for president.

And she suggests that his recent drop in the polls is a test from God so that he’ll remember who put him in the White House. Wow.
