Arizona Gov. Brewer endorses Romney for president

[Democrat18]

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) endorsed Mitt Romney for president during her appearance Sunday morning on “Meet the Press.”

Brewer said she viewed Romney as the most electable candidate to challenge President Obama this fall, and that she made her conclusion after meeting with the candidates and after a debate this week in Arizona.

“I have decided that I am going to publicly endorse Mitt Romney. I think he's the man that can carry the day,” Brewer said. “I think Mitt is by far the person who can go in and win.”

Brewer has become a national figurehead for efforts to curb illegal immigration after leading an effort to install one of the nation’s toughest immigration laws.

Go Full On Third Party.

4. Another reason to vote against him

As if he needs endorsements from anyone for people to not vote for him. Even the dogs hate him.

[L. Coyote]

5. Mormons dominate the AZ Republican politics

this is a bit like having the wicked witch say you are not evil

[MidwestTransplant]

6. AZ is definitely in play

[existentialist]

19. Arizona

It may still be a long shot, but the Republican infighting there is a hopeful sign.

7. Gee I thought she was going to endorse ...

Mr Obama, after she held that one finger in front of his face.

We are #1 and so says the Brewer lady!

Did I say Lady?

9. Bundling, are We?

[neverforget]

10. Rmoney finally got the coveted Governor Batshit Crazy endorsement!

[usrname]

11. I'll bet Rmoney was hoping

Brewer would endorse Santorum or Gingrich. That batshit crazy lady is not a great endorsement deal.

[existentialist]

17. No one is a great endorsement deal this year.

I recall that Romney also got the endorsement of Nikki Haley in South Carolina.

As one of the ultraconservatives there noted at the time: "It won't help him, and it will hurt her."

He was right.


So we can hope with Brewer too.

[la la]

21. after 'the Donald's' endorsement---

i'd think mittens would vett these backers a bit better! yikes!

[Democrat18]

12. Pidgeonholing

What the GOP is counting on.

[DallasNE]

13. Is She Popular Enough In Arizona

To do Romney any good or is this another Trump type of endorsement?

[COLGATE4]

14. Is there anybody left

who gives a flying fuck about what this idiot says???

[alp227]

15. Weird, i thought she'd go for the other front runner whose name shall be censored.

And here's the reaction on that Other Forum: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2851538/posts

including this gem: "What a sell-out. Brewer, like Haley, turns out to be more Pander Bear than Mama Grizzly."

Hell, Ann Coulter is another far-right figure who endorsed "RINOmney".

[existentialist]

18. I checked it out.

That's just beautiful.

They are so out of step with reality and scarcely a clue about it.

[RandySF]

16. What a bold stand.

Endorsing the candidate who is way ahead in her state.

[NICO9000]

20. And this will garner how many votes from the racist white folk who already are gonna vote for him

0? Negative numbers?

One asshole endorsing another asshole. What a shock.

23. Think Progress: Nativist Gov. Jan Brewer endorses Romney

On Meet the Press this morning, Gov. Jan Brewer (R-AZ) endorsed Mitt Romney for President. Although Brewer offered little explanation for her decision, citing only Romney’s “pro-business background” and his “political history,” it is not the least bit surprising that one of the nation’s leading nativist politicians is now backing Romney.

Brewer signed SB 1070, the first of a wave of anti-immigrant bills authored by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R), who has also endorsed Romney. Romney also campaigned with Kobach on Martin Luther King Day, despite the fact that Kobach is an attorney with the legal arm of an organization (the Federation for American Immigration Reform) the Southern Poverty Law Center designates a "nativist hate group.” Watch Brewer’s endorsement:
