The man who ran Herman Cain’s Iowa campaign, before he dropped out of the presidential race, announced he is now supporting Newt Gingrich. Larry Tuel was Cain’s state campaign director until Dec. 3. Friday he endorsed Gingrich in an email to The Des Moines Register.

Tuel said in his email that the former House speaker "is intelligent, positive and has the best grasp of policy and the role of government as it relates to tax, spending and regulatory power. I particularly appreciate his national tax policy, welfare reform, and ideas for reducing and refocusing regulatory authority to solve our deep-rooted economic problems."(continued)

Gingrich also picked up the endorsement of Iowa State Rep. Scott Raecker on Friday. Raecker, who chairs the Iowa House Appropriations Committee, made the announcement at Gingrich's’s first campaign event of the day at the Wakonda Club in Des Moines.

Newt can use all the help he can get! Now would be the time for everyone who has the inclination to back the Nwetster. It will all be over soon.

I so want to see the s___-eating grin knocked off of Mitt Romney’s stupid face.

I just want him to go home and be conference president or whatever his title is in his denomination. He should only be allowed in the White House on the tour.

Hmmmmmmm, Newt seems to be picking up a lot of endorsements in the final days of the Iowa campaign. Good for Newt. He is a good man and what the country needs.
