(CARLOS OSORIO/The Associated Press) In this Sept. 24, 2011, photo, Republican presidential candidate Texas Gov. Rick Perry addresses the Republican Leadership Conference at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Mich. He calls his rivals “heartless” and defends moderate parts of his immigration record with ethnically charged language. But Perry’s strategy may endear the Texas governor to Hispanics even as it angers others the presidential candidate must woo to win.
