UNDER SCRUTINY PERRY CHANGES TUNE ON HPV VACCINE: The Texas Tribune is up with a story this morning that suggests Perry will begin to distance himself from controversial parts of his record as governor that he has until now embraced in Texas.

At the risk of angering fellow conservatives, Perry has always insisted he did the right thing. That unapologetic approach changed this weekend. A few hours after unveiling his campaign for president, Perry began walking back from one of the most controversial decisions of his more-than-10-year reign as Texas governor. Jay Roots story:
