Joe Wilson apoya a Pawlenty en SC

El Gobernador Pawlenty se ha hecho con el apoyo del Congresista Joe Wilson en Carolina del Sur. Wilson representa al 2º Distrito de Carolina del Sur, que incluye parte de la capital, Columbia, y condados del límite con Georgia.

Republican presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty secured a major endorsement in the early primary state of South Carolina on Wednesday, picking up the support of U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson.

Wilson will serve as co-chairman of the former Minnesota governor's campaign in South Carolina, traditionally a must-win primary state for any Republican candidate.

"Governor Pawlenty is the best man to get our nation back on the right track," Wilson said in a statement provided to CNN. "As South Carolinians get to know Governor Pawlenty, as I have, they will see someone with a remarkable record of conservative accomplishments in a politically tough state for Republicans, and someone who has the kind of bold vision for America's future that we need to defeat Barack Obama."

Pawlenty called Wilson "a strong conservative voice for the people of South Carolina" and said he is "honored" to receive the endorsement. (...)
