DERRY, N.H. – About a quarter of the seats at a hall here in Derry went unfilled for Rick Perry’s fourth event here Tuesday, a fitting end to a long day of campaigning that failed to drum up much enthusiasm.
The Texas governor spent it stumping with Joe Arpaio, the controversial sheriff from Maricopa County, Ariz., who bestowed his endorsement on Perry earlier today at a diner in Amherst, N.H. The seal of approval from Arpaio, nationally known for his efforts to crack down on illegal immigration, was meant to shore up Perry’s credibility on that hot-button issue. But the impact of the endorsement may have been minimized by the campaign’s decision to roll it out in New Hampshire – a state that borders Canada, not Mexico.
