More State Deciders Deciding Who They Want to Decide
There seems to have been a flurry of gubernatorial endorsements for the 2008 presidential race in recent days, so I thought I would do a quick search and check on those that I may have missed. Here's the tally of what I found:
Rudy Giuliani:
- Texas Governor Rick Perry
- South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds
- Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels
- Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty
- Utah Governor Jon Huntsman
Mitt Romney:
- Missouri Governor Matt Blunt
- Rhode Island Governor Don Carcieri
- Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley
- Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm
- New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine
- New York Governor Eliot Spitzer
Barack Obama:
- Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich
- Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick
- Virginia Governor Tim Kaine
Oh, almost forgot, I suppose the only sitting governor to also be a candidate, could be construed as having endorsed himself....
Bill Richardson:
- New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson
Well, there you have it. It looks like Clinton is in the lead currently with four endorsements, followed closely by McCain and Obama with three each. Will her lead hold? Will it make a difference? Only time, and votes, will tell.
