Newt Gingrich's endorsements:

Senator Sam Brownback
Senator John Cornyn
Representative Steve King

I'll give you King for now. I'm going to hold off on Brownback and Cornyn. I want to try to keep a level of realism and while Giuliani is not loved by the conservative wing of the party, I don't want there to be a mass revolt. Let's wait as the game progresses a few more rounds.

I protest that the LCV would endorse Bayh with Ralph Nader in the race...!

what do you mean?

I'd say it's quite illogical that they would back a moderate Democrat when they backed Kucinich in 2004 ITL...

I will let you both decide the outcome, I'm fine with either option.

After this round the game jumps ahead to November, so I will amend the endorsement requests.

Typically 5 total (e.g. 3 people, two orgs or 5 people..., etc)

I will allow everyone the opportunity to have nine total endorsements heading into this round.
It can be nine people, or six people and three orgs. You choose, but everyone gets nine.

After we move to November it will go back to the regular five endorsements
