Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley: Rick Perry Would Make ‘Very Good President,’ but Withholds Endorsement
ABC News ^ | October 15, 2011 | Russell Goldman

Hours after making his speech on energy and jobs Friday in Pittsburgh, Pa., Texas Gov. Rick Perry parachuted into Waterloo, Iowa, in the hopes of currying favor with one of the state’s most influential kingmakers.

Perry attended a fundraiser Friday evening for Iowa State Rep. Pat Grassley, grandson of Iowa’s senior U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley — a key GOP endorsement for the candidate who receives it.

“I have a great deal of respect for Gov. Perry. I think he’d make a very good president,” Grassley told ABC News in an exclusive interview.

But it “could be a couple of weeks” before the senator lends his support to any of the candidates. He could after all not endorse anyone, he said.

LOL!

To give Cain credit (and I’d really like him to not lose my now-tenuous support) he now does own the ZOT! platform.

Good luck finding a 2500-mile long ZOT! of lightning!

Now, if Cain could just put TX lotto kiosks on the MX side of the zotfence right before they climb it and meet their Zotter, this is a revenue-enhancement plan I can get behind.

Grassley is hardly a ‘kingmaker’. He’s become as irrelevant as his ‘investigations’. Chuck Grassley is a walking argument for term limits.
