mark: the other thing is that cruz got rick perry's endorsement today.t is a big deal, a lot of earned media for that. john: important in iowa, where rick perry had a little bit of a following and it could matter. so far, most of the political bigwigs in iowa have pointedly refused to endorse republican candidates for president. but have they put their grubby, tenderloin-smeared thumbs on the scales anyway? yes, they have. iowa governor terry branstad says donald trump lacks the experience and nuance to be president. sen. chuck grassley of this great state showed up at a trump event over the weekend. and senator joni "the one who castrates pigs" ernst appeared with marco rubio in des moines. i don't believe any castration took place. again, none of these folks are officially supporting any candidate in this race. why are these influential iowa republicans making these non-endorsement endorsements? mark: they all say they don't want to endorse because that could interfere with people participating and candidates coming to iowa, but all of them want to put
