'Iron my shirt'

When Texas Gov. Rick Perry took his jacket off for a question-and-answer session in Waterloo last night, he joked about his attire.

"This shirt has a few wrinkles in it; it's not my wife's fault," he said.

The line seemed very Texas, and a bit less directed at the women in the suburbs of Philadelphia and other big cities who are a key general election bloc, and John Dickerson wondered about it too.

"He may want to lose that line about how the wrinkles in his shirt were not his wife's fault — at least by the time he gets to the general election and starts going after those suburban swing-voting women," he wrote.

Or husbands, can't discount that. There are some states that protect all their citizens, even if the federal government won't.
