GRAND BLANC -- On the evening before Michigan's primary, Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert had words of encouragement for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign volunteers.
"You're work getting people to the polls and getting them to check the right delegate has paid off," Hastert told about 20 campaign volunteers and supporters Monday at Romney's Grand Blanc campaign operations center, 5225 E. Cook Road. "We can't do it without folks like you."
Hastert -- who also has worked with Republican presidential candidates Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, and John McCain during his political career -- said Romney has the background and presidential presence needed to lead the country.
He praised Romney's ability to bring delegates to the table to resolve issues quickly.
Hastert said he's confident Romney will gain the support of Michigan voters in Tuesday's primary. Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, came in second in Iowa and New Hampshire.
He stopped in Grand Blanc early Monday to speak to area students at Grand Blanc High School.
"I think we can win Michigan," Hastert said. "There's a good feeling and a good presence and we're moving forward."
Wow - they’re coming faster and faster.
One more good reason to avoid Governor Romney. Hastert fiddled while Congress burned.
If I was Romney I would reject this do nothing speakers endorsement....
Hastert didn't do nothing. He ate plenty when he was speaker.
Oh you are sooooooo wrong.
Hassert did do something. He is the cause of the RAT takeover in congress.
LLS
Well, THAT is ONE reason NOT to vote for Romney.
Anybody the Tower of Jelly endorses gets an endorsement as worthy as Kerry’s of Obama.
Hastert graduated from Wheaton College, and is technically an Evangelical. But if you didn’t know that, you’d never guess it.
Yes, he was a weak and feeble leader, another of a long string of Republican congressional disappointments.
Hastert also courageously waddled to action in defense of William Jefferson : Dimocrat - Louisiana
I totally read that wrong:
"You're getting people to the polls and getting them to check that the right delegate has been paid off,"
Yes he did! Bush supported Fat Denny’s position too.
So he gets the steak dinner rino backroom deal career politician endorsement?
“Head of Big Spending Congress Sees Kinship with Romney”
“Earmarks Promised for Every Voter in Michigan!”

Denny, was a nice guy but no one would ever call him a conservative. He is too much like Bush and the boys.
I agree.
Hastert is not an endorsement I would want. The fat slob was a disaster as Speaker.
I’m starting to see a pattern here...hahaha.
