Boston, MA – Today, U.S. Cong. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) announced her endorsement of Governor Mitt Romney for President of the United States . Cong. Blackburn has served in Congress since 2003 and is a member of the Republican Study Committee.
"It is a pleasure to welcome Marsha back to our campaign to build a stronger America . As a rising conservative leader, she knows firsthand that we must bring conservative change to Washington . The only way we can do that is by returning to our core conservative principles of lowering taxes, restraining spending and streamlining government. I look forward to working with Marsha as we strengthen America through conservative change," said Governor Romney.
Announcing her support today, Cong. Blackburn said, "Tennesseans are looking for a real conservative to hold the White House in November, and I support Governor Romney as the true conservative choice for Tennessee . I was proud to support our native son in the race, but I believe that Mitt Romney is now the clear conservative choice in this contest."
Which leads me to ask you this question BC. If Mitt was "all that", if he was indeed the be all and end all of Conservative virtue, why are all these endorsements so late in coming. Why do Marsha wait until AFTER Thompson was out to endorse Mitt. Why did she not support him from day one?
Even more so, why was Mitt not the A number one big time winner here on FR when Conservatives were in the race (before 01/08). Now don't go cowering under that whole "bigot" thing, for you own later poll betrays that. If one is 'hated" on that level he would garner no support at ANY point in time. You show us Mitt gets solid support after the Conservatives drop out.
Facts, they are dangerous things....
