Hundreds Flock to See Rick Perry in Bedford [VIDEO]

Rick Perry made his second stop to New Hampshire this morning when he spoke at a Politics and Eggs breakfast at the

The event brought hundreds of supporters, national media members and many Granite Staters who were just curious.

"It's amazing the amount of interest he has. I've never seen the place so full," said Gerrie Porter of Amherst.

New England Council President Jim Brett said Perry drew the highest attendance at a Politics and Eggs breakfast since George W. Bush in 1999.

The New Hampshire Institute of Politics and the New England Council  host the series, and Brett said no candidate has ever turned down an invitation to the popular forum for potential Presidential candidates visiting the Granite State.

Perry opened his speech by letting those in attendance knows he'll be placing a large campaign focus and spending a lot of time in New Hampshire.

Among several prevalent issues, including the national debt, veterans benefits and global warming, Perry focused primarily on his successes as governor of Texas, especially the unprecedented job growth, as proof he is prepared to lead the United States out of economic despair.

Former Republican State Sen. Jim Rubens of Etna said he was impressed with Perry's demeanor, but questioned some of his positions, specifically on climate change.

"He's an impressive candidate. He reminds me of Ronald Reagan. He's extremely comfortable in his positions, in his own skin," said Rubens, who consults for the Union of Concerned Scientists on clean energy politics, and chairs the Granite State Coalition Against Expanded Gambling. "His answer on climate change is simply factually wrong and it's important to me as a Republican that we have candidates that deal with the facts as they are. He's calling into question the national academy of sciences -- our nation's most esteemed body of scientists, and I think he needs to adjust his position."
