WOW! You are going to have to go out of State for more endorsements because you seem to have all the who’s who in Arizona endorsements.
By the way, I took my family and parents to the Romney Rally yesterday and watched all your volunteers working hard getting petitions signed while the Kirk volunteers stood by and watched the Salmon people. The look on their face was full of envy coupled with sort of a look that appeared to reflect a realization that they had backed the wrong horse. We just had to laugh.
