In an interview today on CNN’s John King, USA, chairman of the Tea Party Express Amy Kremer spoke with CNN anchor and chief national correspondent John King about the Tea Party’s influence in the 2012 GOP presidential race. "Well, I will tell you that Tea Party Express, we will be endorsing by South Carolina. And I believe that South Carolina is going to be a game-changer and going into Florida."

KREMER: Well, I mean I am seeing a shift toward Perry and Gingrich. I mean it's almost like the Perry campaign and the Gingrich campaign have put out an e-mail that said you need to lobby Tea Party Express, because I've been inundated since last week with messages from supporters, not the campaign, but from supporters.

Perry has ZERO chance of winning anything.. nice guy but this isn’t his time
I hope they endorse Gingrich and that Palin does too soon.
Go Newt!
As long as it isn’t Romney or Paul, I’m a happy girl.
South Carolina is a bell weather southern state. If Perry has any chance, it will be in South Carolina. He has been my first choice. However, he stepped into it way behind the learning curve. It like learning how to race your car on a new circuit. So far he hasn’t been able to get traction as good of a patriot as he is.
Contact the Tea Party Express and urge them to endorse Newt! I have posted on their facebook site in the past for Gingrich and I am going there NOW.
Newt's debate clips: Why is Newt so Angry? Pass it on to everyone you know. Newt the smartest guy in the room.
Newt/Sarah 2012!
I hope they do as you said, about time they take a stand.
Great, the Tea Party has decided to back the two candidates who have picked up the Red Flag in this Bain Capital controversy. I have lived long enough to see Capitalism attacked in a GOP primary, not by the media, by its own candidates. Now the Tea Party, you know the ones for small government as long as you cut the other guys handout crowd, are going to endorse those who attacked the free market, just great.
I’ll tell you what if Romney gets the nomination and is defeated Gov. Perry will be tanned, rested and ready.. I’ll be for him if he wants to run again
The anti capitalism thing is just now breaking, the blow back will take a day or two. But the blow back will be intense.
I just don’t trust Gingrich. I fear we will be sorry we nominated him. I hope we don’t have to.
Newt? The Tea party protests I went to didn’t have Big Government proponents there. Maybe in your area since they were all a bit different.

I don’t completely trust Newt either, but, will take him over obama any day of the week. Newt has done some things politically that I have a very hard time with - such as sitting on the couch with Princess Pelosi, endorsing a health care mandate, etc. His record is 50/50, so, yeah, I don’t trust him, and he seems so angry.
Can we afford another old, white guy to go against obama? I’m not an ageist by any means, but, come on - Bob Dole, John McCain and Newt Gingrich? Like it or not, most people want their president to be good looking and vibrant. Ronald Reagan was the exception. He was good looking, but, somewhat older.
She’s the only one seeing any momentum for Perry.
I will likewise. Governor Rick Perry is a patriot.
