For the Republicans, who are the most important endorsements to get?

[IceSpear]

Adelson, Kochs, Limbaugh, Hannity, Vander Plaats, Ernst, Grassley, Branstad, Ayotte, Sununu, Haley, Scott, Graham (if he doesn't run), Romney.

Many of these people probably won't actually endorse though.

We can thank Sheldon Adelson for President Gingrich. We can thank Sean Hannity for President Giuliani.   No, the only endorsement that matters is the Ghost of Ronald Reagan.

Nobody said the endorsers were kingmakers. But they're still highly relevant. Without Gingrich and Santorum's sugar daddies, they would've been minor blips rather than people capable of actually winning primaries and posing a threat to Romney.

Mitt Romney, Grover Norquist, and the Koch Brothers

Really? Is there anyone out there who waits to hear Mitt's opinion to make up his own mind?
