Well written endorsement by an attorney in Macon

From We Are Politics:

"Yes, I’m THAT guy. In the land of Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich, deep in the South, where the red of the state stains like fresh blood on the national map, I am a Mitt Romney supporter. While my fellow Republicans and conservatives around me here in Georgia throw their support behind Newt Gingrich (now that Herman Cain has suspended his campaign), I remain the voice (of reason) for Romney."
---------------------------
"Romney also has the credentials as a successful businessman in the private sector to attack the President’s failed economic ideas and regulations. When Romney took over as Governor of Massachusetts, he inherited a significant deficit that was paid down under his watch. Romney’s tax plan is right for the Middle Class in America- keep the Bush Presidency Income Tax Rates, eliminate the Death Tax, and reduce corporate tax rates to allow for more job growth. He also wants to pursue a Balanced Budget Amendment for the Federal Government, and decrease the size of said government by 10% through attrition. His plans are traditionally conservative- he does not come from the tax-and-spend way of thinking. A vote for Romney is a solidly conservative vote for President."

New Iowa ad -- Character

Des Moines Register endorses Gov. Romney

The big paper in Iowa announced tonight that they are endorsing Gov. Romney in the upcoming caucuses. Read it by clicking here.

Sobriety, wisdom and judgment.

Those are qualities Mitt Romney said he looks for in a leader. Those are qualities Romney himself has demonstrated in his career in business, public service and government. Those qualities help the former Massachusetts governor stand out as the most qualified Republican candidate competing in the Iowa caucuses.

Gov. Nikki Haley to endorse Gov. Romney

This is a big pickup from Gov. Romney in our neighboring state.  Read the news piece here from Politico.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, one of the most sought-after remaining Republican endorsements, will come out for Mitt Romney Friday morning, POLITICO has learned.

Haley will offer her formal endorsement on Fox and Friends, giving Romney an important boost ahead of South Carolina's primary next month.

Romney is heading to South Carolina this weekend, where he's likely to be joined by Haley at town hall meetings on the coast.

Haley, a tea party favorite who upended South Carolina's GOP establishment by winning last year, has been courted by all of the GOP presidential contenders.  As a state representative, she backed Romney in 2008. 

Washington Examiner Endorses Gov. Romney

The conservative DC newspaper, the Washington Examiner, has endorsed Gov. Romney for President.  It's well worth a read, but here are some excerpts:

The only Republican who can beat Obama

The headlines Wednesday morning brought the stunning news that Newt Gingrich had surged to a 40-23 lead over Mitt Romney among likely GOP voters. But the more important story in the Wall Street Journal/NBC poll of 1,000 registered voters was what happened when Romney and Gingrich were pitted against Barack Obama. The president barely edged Romney 47-45, within the margin of error of 3.1 percentage points. Against Gingrich, Obama held a commanding 51-40 lead. Most importantly, half of all of all voters said they wouldn't vote for Gingrich.

---------------------

Romney has the misfortune of being an earnest man running in an ironic time, and the leitmotif of the Republican race so far has been the search for the "anti-Romney." Party activists reached out to several men who declined to run, and then Republican voters lavished their affections on, successively, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain and now Newt Gingrich, all the while keeping Romney's poll numbers hovering around 25 percent. They have been searching for a candidate who shared their conservative principles, who had strength of character, and who, above all, could beat Barack Obama. We believe this candidate has been hiding in plain sight. Mitt Romney is not "too perfect," as some political analysts have argued, but he is perfect enough.
