Looking at Perry's and Combs' Endorsements
Gov. Rick Perry and Comptroller Susan Combs threw out a slew of endorsements this primary season. Perry also hit the campaign trail with more GOP candidates than he could count on both hands. Some politicos say success or failure with endorsements is a testament to how well a politician can read the political atmosphere across the state and the level of support the politician could gather for a potential run for re-election. So, how well did the governor and comptroller do?

Not so much what he thinks but who he's pushing for what - remember if these folks lose their elections he's got to find State jobs for them. So it's important to know what kind of morons are going to get rammed down Texans' collective throats (or up their collective .... )

C'mon, really? Romney was Perry's 3rd choice after his other two were defeated and/or withdrew in the Presidential primary.
