    Arizona Republic Endorses Romney

    GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney was endorsed on Friday by The Arizona Republic, the largest newspaper in the state where voters go to the polls next Tuesday.

    The paper’s editorial board called Romney “among the most skilled job-creating candidates for chief executive we can imagine,” citing his “real-world achievements" at Bain Capital and as governor of Massachusetts as evidence of his promise as a presidential candidate.

    The Arizona Republic did take issue with several of Romney’s positions, including his opposition to the DREAM Act for illegal-immigrant children raised in the U.S. The paper also swiped at him for his speaking style, writing, “There are better orators in American politics.”

    Still, of the four GOP hopefuls left in the race, “Mitt Romney is by far the best candidate to represent Republicans in the coming race against President Obama,” the board wrote. “He is best prepared to do what needs to be done, which is nothing less than restoring the American economy.”

      "Romney offered a fix for Medicare: raise the eligibility age one month per year until it's tied with life expectancy. " Wait a minute!! That would mean that the average person would be dead by the time they qualified for Medicare!!

      There was a reason that Arizona was the last state in the lower 48 to become a state, I think in 1912.

      The Arizona Republic also supported John McCain and illegal immigrants 'rights' to not produce papers, which the Federal Government requires. That rag is only good for lining bird cages and kitty litter boxes.

      Republicans support big business but will kick our most vulnerable Americans to the curb.

      Most women will not support any republican. They still think that their job is to tell us what to do.

      How about an article about Ron Paul getting endosed by the GOP chair. As in getting endorsed by real republicans instead of a newspaper with republic in its name.

      Restore the economy? The only way to do that is reduce spending and the debt so that the U.S. dollar is worth something again. Romney's plan adds to the debt. You sheep obviously dont think Greece and the riots there are real. You cannot keep printing money and expect a good outcome. Ron Paul 2012. The only true conservative running.
