So far, I have been able to compile this list of conservative bloggers, media, intelligentsia and other leaders who have either endorsed or (where indicated) strongly hinted (or I have interpreted their remarks to be strong hints) at support for Mike Pence for Minority Leader. In no particular order:
Our own Philip Klein. And me, elsewhere.

Reports Stephen Moore in the Wall Street Journal: “Mr. Pence seems to have corralled most of the support from major conservative voices, ranging from Rush Limbaugh to Paul Weyrich. John Berthoud, the president of the National Taxpayers Union, gushes: ‘Mike Pence is one of the few Republicans of late we could always depend on to take the principled position, not the K Street position.” He adds, “He’s the obvious choice. When you’ve got a Roger Clemens, you put him on the mound.’ “
