Full Title: Mitt Romney Endorsed By Tea Party Congressman: 'Republicans Need to Understand This Is About Winning'
...what is significant is that Grimm -- who represents Staten Island and part of Brooklyn -- is conservative and a self-identified Tea Party supporter, which is exactly the demographic that Romney has had trouble wooing.
The significance of Grimm's endorsement is the message that came with it: that Republicans should nominate a candidate who can beat President Obama, even if that candidate is not the most conservative of the bunch.

I think we should see if there’s a way to get W elected again. (sarc)
Haven’t you heard, Jim? We MUST vote for anyone who can beat obama! There are those who say you should vote for Barney Frank if he was to win the republican nomination.
The GOP has all but announced that they will back mittens only, and could care less what the TEA party and conservatives think or want. At least that’s the impression I’m getting from them. If that’s what they want, then I’ll pass. If it comes down to obama or romney, you have no choice, they’re two sides of the same coin. The two ruling parties have been playing off one another for the last century and a half, it’s time for a party that adheres to Constitutional principle to rise to the top.
YEah, I’d say he’s about 40 IQ points short of a Romney.
>> Has the whole world gone crazy?
Relax. It’s only an endorsement by a Northeastern Republican.
He MAY have been Tea Party but no longer.
I’m sorry but Mitt is untrustworthy Liberal that will say ANYTHING to get elected.
This is the GOP Establishment trying to say this race is over before people had a chance to vote.
The useless GOP elitist establishment FEARS Herman Cain. This is why they are trying to get endorsements ASAP.
And that is exactly what the RINO establishment is trying to cram down our throats.
All the establishment-supported candidates or near-candidates of the last 2 election cycles have been even further left than George Bush, the compassionate Conservative. (eg. Rudy McRomney, Huckleberry, Christie, Perry, Huntsman). Anyone who is to the right of Bush and begins to get any traction is immediately attacked by the establishment GOP and the RINOs at Fox News.(eg. Thompson, Cain, Palin, Bachmann).
The Tea Party goal of eliminating canddiates that do not support fiscal responsibility is a never-ending work-in-progress.
We know that it will take many election cycles to create meaningful change.
It is inevitable that the Tea Party will support candidates that eventually betray their core values.
It is inevitable that the Tea Party will support candidates who never shared their values, but pretended to support those values.
No movement is perfect. No candidate is perfect.
The key is to stay loyal to our values and to continue our movement.
We are right, we are strong and we have the power to take this country back to Constitutional principles as long as we persevere and remain faithful to each other.
He is rated 46 on heritageaction.com so he is no TP guy.
ANY conservative with an IQ in triple digits and a superior ability with colloquial American English can beat the O.
PERIOD!
Let’s NOT pick another RINO, please.
Grimm wants to be Mitt’s Atty General..
Yeah, right. Like endorsing Schwarzenegger was about winning. How well did that one turn out?
Yeah, pretty much.
NO MITTENS, NO WAY!
The communist OWN IT NOW.
We just got a GOP Obama questionaire wanting donations, I filled it out, and for donation amount, checked other and wrote in see attached - Then I typed up and printed out this letter, my wife and I signed, we stamped the no postage needed envelope and sent it off
“We can not monetarily support a party that seems to be moving away from our beliefs and goals for our country. Especially with the vindication Sara Palin has been attacked with from Top Republican officials. Her stated vision is the direction our country needs to go instead of entrenched politicians who cant seem to do what is right for the country and get a handle on the spending, they seem to start running for re-election as soon as they get re-elected by pandering for votes. If the GOP would have turned Sara loose instead of putting the muzzle on her, we would not be in the position we are in right now. The election that put Obama in the Whitehouse was all on the GOP because of that muzzle. It was pretty obvious to anybody paying attention, that McCain really did not want to be President and picking Sara, made it closer than he wanted it to be. What really made it obvious was his campaign to retain his Senate seat… if he would have ran his Presidential campaign with half as much tenacity going after Obama as he did with JD Hayworth, Obama would not have the top seat in the country. We are Registered Republicans, but consider us Independent until the GOP gets back to it’s REAL CONSERVATIVE roots!
BTW just as a FYI, we are supporting Herman Cain for President”
