SENATOR MARCO RUBIO
ENDORSES MITT ROMNEY
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced the support of Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
“Marco
Rubio is living proof that the American Dream is still very much
alive,” said Mitt Romney. “From humble origins, he has risen to become
one of the brightest lights in our political party. He has been a
leading voice in the U.S. Senate and the country for the cause of
restoring American greatness. He knows that the way forward is to end
excessive regulations, shrink government, and get our economy growing.
He understands that the way to strengthen our communities is to
strengthen our families. He recognizes the dangers that will face
America if we fail to maintain our military power. He understands how
critical it is to bring new leadership to the White House. Senator
Rubio’s endorsement is a major milestone in my effort to make Barack
Obama a one-term president. Ann joins me in thanking him for the
confidence he is placing in my leadership and for the great honor he
has done me today.”

FOX NEWS’ SEAN HANNITY: “Up to
this point, you had not jumped into the primary race. Are you endorsing
Mitt Romney then?”
SENATOR MARCO RUBIO: “Well,
I am going to endorse Mitt Romney and the reason why is not only
because he is going to be the Republican nominee but he offers at this
point, such a stark contrast to the President's record. Look at the
President's record. This is someone who has run the country, not very
well over the last 3 years, that has no experience beyond that doing
that. At the same time, as he has no experience with the private sector
or the free enterprise system. In Mitt Romney, we have a candidate, an
alternative, that in addition to being successful as a governor,
running an important state in this country, has also been successful in
the private sector and offers a very clear alternative to the direction
this president is going to take our country. I think all the candidates
in this race have a lot to be proud of. They have offered a lot to the
debate. But I just can't buy into this idea that by their own
admission, they are saying the only way they can win this race is by
having a floor fight in Tampa in August. I think that's a recipe to
deliver four more years to Barack Obama and our country – forget about
the Republican Party – our country cannot afford that. We have
got to
come together behind who I think has earned this nomination and that's
Mitt Romney.”
