FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer endorsed Mitt Romney for the Republican presidential nomination on Sunday, saying he is the most electable candidate in the field.
“He’s the man that can carry the day,” Mrs. Brewer said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

It’s truly the establishment VERSUS THE GRASSROOTS.
If the the establishment is against your candidate, you’re on the RIGHT side.
Now that’s just plain depressing. How far do the leftist tentacles go? Brewer was actively fighting Mitt’s cousins in the Administration and decides that a McCain-type “rebel” will be a solution? I expect her next step will be to run as a left-leaning “Independent”.
I like Myth’s position on illegal immagration vs Newt’s.Newt will disappoint conservative’s in the immgration issue.
Don't forget Gov Bob McDonnell of VA!!! ...and, of course, Chris Christie; not that I ever considered him a Conservative to begin with!
No one ever said the establishment were idiots. They’re just moderates and liberals.
Btw, who did you support last cycle, and this current one?
Twelve, one in each of his "home states".
The reactions on this thread are why I love FreeRepublic: it’s always good for a laugh.
Which position? Willard’s had about four on immigration alone.
Won’t help. Brewers endorsement will drive away as many as it will invite. Sheriff Arpaio is the most powerful endorsement in Arizona. Brewer, not so much.
if you are asking about the 2008 presidential race, I supported Bab Barr.
If you are talking about the 2010 Arizona Gov. race, I supported Jan Brewer.
Who did you support? John (bought & paid for) McCain?
“Compared to Marxist Janet, Jan looked good. But she was considered squishy EXCEPT for gun control.”
Exactly. Written like a conservative from Arizona...
This is an example of why Sarah Palin does not lend a formal endorsment. It is terribly disappointing to swaths of desporate
supporters.
However, it was down to the wire in Jan’s own home state, and she is found endorsing the polling leader. Not new, and AZ is no Florida in delegates, where there it would seem tasteful and more statesman like to weigh keeping one’s mouth shut.
This was likely just retail politics for Jan.
“Brewer previously served as Secretary of State of Arizona, from January 2003 until then-Governor Janet Napolitano resigned after being selected as Secretary of Homeland Security in January 2009. Brewer became Governor of Arizona as part of the line of succession, as determined by the Arizona constitution.”
No Lt Gov, but Jan was second in line to the more liberal Jan, who went to DC to screw up our national security.
Things may improve when the campaign moves into the Southern and Midwestern states, away from Mormon country.
In her defense, she also has opposed the gay lobby...although she would like a tax increase.
You don’t like Newt’s panel of governors from border states? How silly is that? What is Mittfitt’s position anyway? Oh yeah - self-deportation..... lol I gave myself a ticket for speeding the other day too.
A bit of political history:
” Speaking to attendees of the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s Black and White Ball Saturday night at the downtown Phoenix Sheraton, Governor Jan Brewer refused to say whether or not she would sign state Senator Russell Pearce’s police state/anti-immigrant bill SB 1070. But she assured the crowd that she understood its opposition to the measure.
“In regards to Senate Bill 1070,” she stated, “I will tell you that I never make comment, like most governor’s throughout our country, before a bill reaches my desk. But I hear you, and I will assure you that I will do what I believe is the right thing so that everyone is treated fairly.”
Her statement prompted a quip from the following speaker, Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, who asked the mostly Latino crowd, “I think what I just heard was a commitment to veto that bill, whatdya think?”
“Stephen Lemons of the Phoenix New Times points out that a recent Rasmussen poll shows Brewer “ahead of a wide field of contenders in the GOP gubernatorial primary” with 26 percent support. Given that two-thirds (67%) of Arizona’s GOP primary voters say that a candidate’s position on immigration is “very important” in determining how they will vote, Brewer’s decision on SB 1070 will certainly affect her comfortable lead.”

She wasn’t exactly at the front, leading the charge...but she also wanted to be the GOP nominee...
"So much for integrity. "
"There went my respect for her."
"What a sell-out."
She's no conservative and never has been."
"I always knew she was a RINO."
LOL!
Folks , I been telling you Party Politicos, have lots of power. They simply bribe, blackmail and steal to further their agenda, and it looks a lot more like a progressive agenda, than Tea Party Conservatism.
