House Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio formally endorsed Mitt Romney as the Republican presidential nominee on Tuesday, throwing the weight of his office behind Mr. Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, roughly a month before the candidate can amass the delegates necessary to make it official.
“It is clear now that Mitt Romney is going to be our nominee,” Mr. Boehner said at a news conference that followed his weekly meeting with the House Republican Conference. “I think Mitt Romney has a set of economic policies that can put Americans back to work and, frankly, contrast sharply with the failed economic policies of President Obama.”
Mr. Boehner promised to do “everything I can to help him win.”

Of course he does...they share the same tanning booth...
If he didn’t cry, he didn’t mean it. Heh.

You won’t find me shedding any tears over the endorsement.
Was he crying when he said that??
Disappointing.
Why don’t they hold their endorsements and just go to the convention and make the decision there?
If only Rep. Mike Pence was the Speaker, instead!
During the 2010 interim elections..the Tea Party folks and grassroots voters came out enmasse to support conservative candidates..this go round the gop establishment, news media and super pacs were prepared to ensure the "chosen one" is elected. Mega millions have been spent to bring down Newt yet he is still IN this race. I will fight to the damn end for the one last true conservative standing.
Some of Romney's campaign speeches and some items on his campaign web site provide evidence for that belief. The problem is that I don't for a moment believe anything conservative that Mitt's writers use to get our votes. Mitt's actions over the last couple decades provide proof that he doesn't mean what he says unless it's pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality, pro-tax, and anti-business. I'd say Mitt's 50-50 to be our president, and in the event that I'm wrong and he turns out not to be a far-left big-government socialist, I'll happily vote for his re-election, but I cannot and will not vote for him this year. [Note: in any case, Mitt will not carry my state without an unexpected landslide.]
Newt + Rick = 5.6 million votes
Mitt = 4.6 million votes
Mitt/establishment/they didn’t beat us.
We beat ourselves.
Now I’m the one compelled to shed tears.
Witness the death of the GOP in America. Fox News is in their glory. Romney to announce HE is the gop candidate this friday.
Mr Punt the debt ceiling..... I wonder how hard it was not to endorse Obama for him?
bonehead
No surprise here.
But I am wondering if the Tea Party junior members of Congress are going to every trust again this establishment toad.
Boehner needs to go or be removed as Speaker.
Heard a little bit of Rush today on my way to town. He said that Romney held a closed door fund raiser in Palm Beach and Rush was NOT happy with Romney’s tax proposals such as doing away with tax deductions on both state and federal levels for property owned..the governor’s surely would oppose that! have to find the entire link later on Rush. Also some news on Romney reaching out to the hispanics.
wow, endorsing a candidate when all the rest have dropped out, he’s really going on a limb.
