WASHINGTON -- When Texas Governor Rick Perry announced his run for the presidency on Saturday in South Carolina, he began his speech with an origin story bathed in sepia and ready-made for the stump.

"I'm the product of a place called Paint Creek -- doesn't have a zip code," Perry explained. "It's too small to be called a town along the rolling plains of Texas." He then invoked images of his rural school, growing cotton and wheat, his mother sewing his clothes when he went off to college, his boyscout troop (No. 48), and meeting his future wife at a piano recital at roughly age 8.

It's an effective tale for Perry and one that he has used often in his more than 25 years holding elected office. In interviews, Perry has affirmed his love for Paint Creek. "It's a great place to grow up," Perry told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram last week. "Wonderful people out there."
