Rick Perry, who launched his presidential campaign on Thursday, has scored an endorsement from one of the most prominent conservatives in Iowa.

Sam Clovis, a talk radio personality, professor and former U.S. Senate candidate, said in an interview late Thursday that he has signed on as Perry's Iowa state chairman and will campaign Friday with the former Texas governor when he visits Iowa.

Will Sam clone himself at least 900 times so there’ll be teams in all 99 counties? Because that’s how you win in Iowa.

I don’t get it any more. You would think a “conservative backer” would be backing a conservative

The media would be calling Nelson Rockefeller a ‘conservative’ if he were still around.

It's the Washington Compost, and they're trying to tell us what LOSER to vote for !

HELL NO, I won't vote for PRO-AMNESTY PERRY !
First he would't support building a Border Fence, and then he draws a mental blank in the debates!
WHAT A LOSER !
Perry's ONLY PURPOSE is to dilute the votes for conservatives, so an "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN" will outlast the other candidates.
Perry works to get another "DemocRAT Lite" !

Perry needs to SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP !
He's DESTRUCTIVE !

Clovis said he has a consulting arrangement to be paid by the Perry campaign, but would not say how much he is being paid.

It's just about the money.

Clovis used to have a radio talk show in Sioux City. He ran in the 2014 US Senate primary that nominated Joni Ernst and then ran unsuccessfully for State Treasurer.

Not much of an endorsement when you're getting paid to say all that PR bull excrement ......
