Rick Perry may be retiring from the job he's had for fourteen years, but he isn't slowing down.
"I'm not going to ride off into the sunset," he told NBC News in an interview in Washington D.C. "I'm pretty sure I'm not going to go back to Paint Creek, Texas, and shut my doors."
The Texas governor, 11 months away from the end of his record-setting tenure at the helm of the state, is sunny about a political future that could include another run for president. That decision won't come until next year, he says, but Perry insists he'll remain active in the political debate over the role of government in American life, whether he runs or not.
