Article (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/121207dntexperry.259427a.html) from today's Dallas Morning News:
While Mr. Huckabee might be doing well in Iowa and New Hampshire, Mr. Perry replied, he strongly believes that Mr. Giuliani will win in the delegate-rich states that cast ballots Feb. 5.
He said Mr. Giuliani is the best, most experienced GOP candidate, one who has pledged to nominate Supreme Court justices in the mold of conservatives Samuel Alito and Antonin Scalia.
"If that is the model, the issue becomes very, very clear to me from the standpoint of who I want to support, and it is Mike Huckabee," Mr. Perry said.
When asked to explain that statement, the governor seemed surprised that he said Huckabee and immediately corrected himself, saying he meant Rudy Giuliani.
Mr. Perry was also asked if he had considered supporting the only Texan on the presidential ballot, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul.
"No," he said dismissively. "I didn't have to study that one too long."
At this point I'm not 100% sure why Gov. Perry's opinion is particularly relevant. He won re-election in '06 with a massive 38% mandate, ya know.
