Marcus Lattimore; a fan of Texas Gov. Rick Perry?

Lattimore is a Christian and self-motivated.
Is he a Republican? (myheritage.com photo) 

The State newspaper is grousing that college presidents want no part of the trophy Texas Gov. Rick Perry commissioned of John Butler Bonham. The trophy goes to the winner of the now-annual SC-A&M game. Bonham was a Saluda County native and hero of the Alamo. The trophy was not presented on the field Thursday because the elites at the government-supported schools took a pass.
But in trying to show academia's disdain for Republican governors, did The State inadvertently give Perry a high-profile plug?
The State published a photo of Yolanda Smith, the mother of USC great Marcus Lattimore, smiling big, taking a selfie with Perry.
Lattimore, who is known for his strength of character, refusal to blame others and Christian beliefs certainly fits into the GOP, a lot more than he does the Democrat Party.
Democrats are far more likely to quit and blame others, while denouncing God and favoring government and their politicians as omnipotent power. 
Maybe Lattimore asked his mother to be sure to get a shot with Perry.
