Perry is a nice catch but Romney is busy too, collecting a number of Christian conservatives and Florida Congressman Connie Mack (son of the former and very popular Senator). These endorsements do matter at some level --transmitting to Christian conservatives in Romney's case, and southern conservatives more generically, in Rudy's case, that "the guy is ok." It gets a media moment and a helpful surrogate. What do we hear from Fred Thompson? He tells us... are you sitting down... that he raised more money in Texas[ Tennessee too?] than any other candidate. (Well, it's hard when you don't have many appearances or endorsements to make news so you work with what you've got.) But Thompson also sends around a nice piece on "don't tax the internet" on Club for Growth conference day.
