Yes, I was glad Newt took the occasion to mention Rick Perry and thank him for his support.
He also said he would be working with Perry to implement things that are important to both of them.
I think Perry’s endorsement had a big effect, not only in the votes Perry would have gotten but in the wide influence he had as a lot of people’s second choice.
Perry has a pretty dang good job in Texas, but he might be interested in a post in a Newt administration if it was something he believed in deeply, like Energy Secretary.
Your guy Perry did the classy thing and took one for the team. I would also add that he was much improved in the final debates.
Hat tip to Perry.
