Two-time presidential candidate and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry has joined the cast of the upcoming season of "Dancing with the Stars" in an effort to promote veterans' issues. Perry, who will compete against Olympians and actors, has reportedly only danced four times in public and is not that good. GOP Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Marco Rubio of Florida have survived primary challenges.
