Presidential Primary.
"Congressman Wilson
has been a strong conservative voice for the people of South Carolina
over the past decade," Governor Pawlenty said. "I am honored to
receive his support in this campaign to restore America."
"Governor
Pawlenty is the best man to get our nation back on the right track,"
said Congressman Wilson. “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.
