U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin has announced he will be Mitt Romney’s campaign manager in Arkansas. Given that Griffin’s patron is Warren Stephens, you can see the affinity for another financial multi-millionaire. Lt. Gov. Mark Darr also told the Political Animals Club today he’d be backing Romney.
Sanders? David Sanders? You still haven’t responded to my poll of the Arkansas 20 legislators who declared for Rick Perry. At last count, 4 of the 20 had said they were still on board. Perry has a pot of money still and, they claim, is a fighter. But the party establishment seems to be playing the inevitability card.
PS: I probably should note that David Sanders has continued to extol Perry on his Twitter feed, he just is too skittish to talk to me.
