KISS OF DOLE
Posted on 12/18/2011 11:37:30 AM PST by NormsRevenge
Republican elder statesman and former Senate leader Bob Dole on Sunday endorsed Mitt Romney to be the Republican presidential nominee, a day after the former Massachusetts governor received the backing of Iowa's main newspaper.
In an open letter to Iowa voters, Dole - himself a former presidential candidate - said a great deal was at stake on January 3, when Iowa votes in the first nominating contest for the 2012 presidential election.
"A number of my friends are currently candidates seeking the GOP nomination. But the time has now come for us to decide who among them can defeat Barack Obama in 2012. I've made my decision, and I believe our best hope lies in Governor Mitt Romney," Dole wrote.
"As President, Mitt Romney will succeed in turning this country around," he wrote. "He rescued a flailing Winter Olympics when it was mired in financial scandal. He was an exceptional Governor of Massachusetts, who managed to both balance the state's budget and cut taxes while dealing with an overwhelmingly Democratic state legislature."
Though Dole's endorsement is not much of a surprise this election cycle, he went a different route in 2008 when Romney made his first bid for the nomination. Four years ago Romney got in some hot water when he said that Dole - who had written a letter supporting eventual Republican nominee Senator John McCain - was the last person he would want a letter from.

I can ignore Bob with no effort at all. I respect him as a vet, and that about covers it.
KISS OF DOLE
Bob Dole, the guy who helped save Social Security, says Mitt Romney will turn the country around.
One loser endorsing another ... who would have thunk
Figures.
Let me see if I get this right. A looser republican moderate endorses the moderate looser that lost to the looser moderate that got his ass kicked by Obama and Im suspose to feel good?
“Edsel Ford, Dole and McPain endorse Romney.”
I heard somewhere that Bevis and Butthead endorsed Ron Paul?
That’s the kiss of death for Romney as if he wasn’t a loser already.
Putting this in the Endorsements file next to “Gore, Al” under KISS OF DEATH.
My reaction is: RUN AWAY!! RUN AWAY!! SAVE YOURSELVES!!
LOL at the parade of utter losers...
Is this better that Christine O’Donnel’s endorsement?
