Give Rudy Giuliani points for turning every endorsement into a guessing game for 24 hours. Right of Texas has the scoop that Lone Star State governor Rick Perry is going to endorse Rudy Giuliani.

With Tommy Thompson, this is the second current or former GOP governor in a week to endorse Giuliani. The governors quickly unifying behind George W. Bush gave Perry’s predecessor a major advantage in 2000. Still, one has to wonder if today’s Republican governors have the buzz of the popular late-1990s reformers. Beyond Jeb Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger, are there any other GOP governors will real name recognition, buzz, and influence beyond their home states?
