Rick Perry picked up a huge endorsement today. Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval has endorsed governor Rick Perry. This is huge because Sandoval, along with Susana Martinez and Marco Rubio are part of the wave of Hispanic Republicans who won in 2010.  With polls showing Obama losing Hispanic support, this is putting that ethnic group in play.

Our nation needs a leader in the White House who understands the role of government and our economy. Governor Rick Perry has the strongest record of job creation, fiscal discipline, and executive branch leadership among the presidential candidates. As a governor, Rick Perry created a tremendous blueprint for job creation and as President, I know he will get America working again. I consider Governor Perry a friend and I am proud to endorse his campaign for President.

If there’s one Republican who can compete with the Democrats for Hispanic vote,  it’s Rick Perry. Brian Sandoval’s endorsement is huge in this regard. This endorsement and Bobby Jindal’s shows that the 2012 GOP nomination is shaping up between the Old GOP represented by Romney and teh new GOP represented by Perry.
