Rick Perry endorses John McCain for president
I have thought that Perry could very well be the VP nominee. His youthfulness could make up for McCain's age and he already has the catchphrases down.:scared:

AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry joined other big state Republican governors in jumping on Sen. John McCain's presidential bandwagon today.

"He and I may not agree on every issue," Mr. Perry said of the Arizona senator. "But we do agree that this country cannot flinch when it comes to the war against the Islamic terrorists."
>>>snip
Mr. Perry, who earlier had backed former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani, dismissed suggestions that he again has defied his conservative supporters' wishes.

Though Mr. McCain has angered party loyalists by authoring bills to overhaul campaign finance and immigration and by voting twice against President Bush's tax cuts, Mr. Perry praised Mr. McCain for promising to get rid of pork barrel "earmarks" in the federal budget.
>>>>snip
In a statement, Mr. McCain thanked Mr. Perry and called him "a great addition" to his bulging list of supporters.

1. The Repuke establishment apparently believes McCain will be
the nominee...they're all coming out now to support him so it'll look like they were able to predict and/or push along his nomination.
