Gov. Rick Perry is putting his months of attacks on Mitt Romney behind him and rallying to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's banner.
The Texas Republican makes his first campaign trip on behalf of Romney on Friday when he visits Elko, Nev. He'll make two evening stops there Friday evening, with visits to the Silver State Stampede Rodeo and a Romney campaign office. Romney, who's a former Massachusetts governor, isn't expected to appear.
Nevada is a key state Obama won in 2008.

Romney camp deploys old GOP foes to battleground states
“First up was Newt Gingrich, who on Thursday attended a question-and-answer session at a Romney Victory office in Jacksonville, FL. Today, Texas Gov. Rick Perry will travel to Elko, NV to open a campaign field office for the former Massachusetts governor. And on Saturday, Rick Santorum will attend a Romney victory office opening in Greensburg, PA. “
“And Rep. Paul Ryan is headlining two Romney Victory events today in Illinois.”
Wonder if any of them are on the short list for VP....Could you imagine Newt debating Biden.
I wish Perry was our nominee.
Dick Cheney: I want Mitt Romney to handle the next ‘big surprise’
http://www.capitolcolumn.com/news/dick-cheney-i-want-mitt-romney-to-handle-the-next-big-surprise/
At a fundraiser in Wilson, Wyoming, presumptive GOP candidate Mitt Romney introduced a new face on his campaign trail: former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Perry would make a great cabinet member...Sec’y of Commerce?
I thought Perry objected to governors going out of state to campaign for the GOP nominee.
Yes he would but then the great state of Texas would lose an awesome governor. Maybe when we take back the WH and senate we can do what the libs do and change all the rules, then he can serve as both :)
I wonder if many in the crowd will standing on their chairs cheering as they do in Texas. Perry’s political rallies are the best I’be ever been to. On a completely different level than most politicos.
Santorum rallies Romney support in Westmoreland County
http://old.post-gazette.com/pg/12196/1246724-181.stm
“It was Mr. Santorum’s first Pennsylvania appearance on behalf of his former rival for the GOP nomination.
Mr. Santorum had raised questions about the depth of his support for Mr. Romney after he endorsed him in a low-key email in May, but he appeared enthusiastic in backing the soon-to-be nominee in his remarks amid the crowded, overheated GOP office. He urged the crowd to rally the GOP grassroots for an election that he said would be “a tipping point for freedom.”
“Pennsylvania is where it’s at,” he said. “We’re the Keystone state. If Pennsylvania goes Republican, Mitt Romney will be the next president of the United States.”
Good lesson for conservatives like one of my sisters who, although a conservative, will not vote for him because he is a Mormon. I’ve tried to get her to look at the alternative and making some headway.
I thought if the seemingly endless Republican race for the nomination revealed anything, it was that Rick Perry is dumber than a rusty anvil.
How soon they forget. How soon they tuck tail. The big name GOPhers are all trapped in the GOP-e’s big tent death lock. And a death lock it is. Abortionism/homosexualism/statism will be the death of liberty!!
Looks like pretty much all notable “conservatives” are showing their true blue colors.
Fixed it for you, RINO pusher.
This is NOT about who gets paid by Mr. RomneyCARE to lie
for him, it is about ISSUES.
Mr. RomneyCARE supports DEATH PANELS, Romney DEATH PANELS.
And where does he stand on them now?

He called for the total elimination of 3 government super-bureaucracies.
I don’t care if the heat of the lights and the residual effects of recent back surgery made him momentarily forget the name of one of them.
I don’t really care which three.
Pick three.
Any three.
Eliminate three full executive bureaucracies and you’ve taken the first small step to saving America.
He sounds a heck of a lot smarter than you do.
Maybe you’ve been spending too much time with rusty anvils.
Anyway, if Perry were our nominee, we’d at least have someone who wants to drastically cut the size of government.
And I mean drastically.
In hinesight I was to rough on Perry.
Not that I was to hard on him compared to some.
Compared to Romney he would have been 100 times a better choice.
Could you imagine Newt debating Biden.
I could image a 12 y/o, with a conservative upbringing, tearing Biden apart.
