I Drudged this earlier this morning when I saw the headline at the campaign's site.
I am glad that many of your (the RPF members) suspicions turned out to be correct. It is a sign that we rule the internet...
It would be over the top if Demint showed up at the event too.

From the 2nd article posted by PauliticsPolitics:
"To get an endorsement from someone like Tom Davis is a big deal," said former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, who announced a White House bid in June. "It would speak volumes to folks and make them take notice and give us a look."
This quote will come in handy in case anyone tries to discount the importance.

He's still a little toxic I think. Best if he just stays out of it.

Hey even Santorum thinks it's a big deal:

Good quote to use in case the endorsement is downplayed.

Hard to blame them. It's all news stories and BS posted on the grassroots forum that drives everything off the first page. Of course, I consider this a news story that shouldn't even be posted in grassroots.. has nothing to do with promoting paul on a grassroots level. Buy yah...

He is a Fox commentator now and can't endorse by contract.

That is because you are awake; sadly most of the electorate is not, hence the signifigance. Endorsements aren't really meant to make a voters decision but rather add credibility to their positions & electability. People know Who Davis is && support him, the logical path is that if I support Davis & Davis supports Paul, then maybe, without knowing, I support paul, so I should at the least research him and find out.
I'm dumbfounded at the amount of people downplaying ANY endorsement, specifically this one. Kelly Clarkson got more excitement out of most here than this endorsement, I guess that is a sign that more sheeple are supporting Ron Paul.

"I was one of only a handful of politicians to stand up and support President Paul when everyone said he was unelectable." - Presidential candidate Tom Davis, January 2032
This is second only to DeMint. Haley's popularity has plummeted. Since DeMint is not endorsing, we have got the top endorsement in all of South Carolina. And we have the soft support of DeMint himself, going out of his way to talk up Ron Paul every chance he gets.
Are you crazy?

The reason these sorts of endorsements matter is about their distribution.
On the top level, the media is more likely to cover such an event, and having local media coverage of a national candidate is always a good goal. The press tends to be much friendlier, and it reaches people who are statistically more likely to be undecided.
On another level, the other great value of having local politicians behind you is they have their own contact and distribution lists. So, when you get an e-mail or call sent to voters who vote, which is who the State Senator will have collected, telling them Ron is the real deal, that's the sort of publicity you can't buy.
The circus is annoying, but endorsements matter because they get exposure. Not because they decide votes.
