Haley Barbour endorses Rick Perry over Kay Bailey Hutchison in Texas Governor race

Barbour endorses Perry

Gov. Rick Perry (R-Tex.) won a key endorsement from Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, the head of the Republican Governors Association, as he faces a tough Republican primary against Kay Bailey Hutchison in the Texas gubernatorial race.

(The RGA, however, is not taking sides in the primary.)

Barbour’s endorsement comes one day after former Vice President Dick Cheney endorsed Hutchison, heating up the proxy war between the rival Republican camps.
