The Des Moines Register Endorses Romney!

The influential Des Moines (Iowa) Register has come out solidly in support of Mitt Romney for President. Here's an excerpt from the Register's strong, well-reasoned endorsement:

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.
Sobriety: While other candidates have pandered to extremes with attacks on the courts and sermons on Christian values, Romney has pointedly refrained from reckless rhetoric and moralizing. He may be accused of being too cautious, but choosing words carefully is a skill essential for anyone who could be sitting in the White House and reacting to world events.
Wisdom: Romney obviously is very smart. He graduated as valedictorian at Brigham Young University and finished in the top 5 percent in his MBA class at Harvard, where he also earned a law degree. Romney also exhibits the wisdom of a man who listened and learned from his father and his mother, from his church and from his own trials and errors in life. He does not lack self confidence, but he is not afraid to admit when he has been wrong.
Judgment: Romney disagrees with Democrats on most issues, but he offers smart and well-reasoned alternatives rather than simply proposing to swing a wrecking ball in Washington. He is a serious student of public policy who examines the data before making a decision. His detailed policy paper on the economy contains 87 pages of carefully crafted positions on taxes, energy, trade and regulatory policy, complete with 127 footnotes.

Video: SC Gov. Niki Haley Endorses Romney!

Niki Haley, the Governor of my beloved adopted home state of South Carolina, has endorsed Mitt Romney for president. Now, my own home-state Governor Chris Christie has endorsed Romney and my adopted (summer) home-state Governor Niki Haley has done the same.
Can you understand why I LOVE these two governors and these two states?
Here's what Governor Haley has to say:

Our country will need real leadership to undo President Obama’s failed policies, and replace them with the conservative principles Mitt Romney learned turning around businesses and a failing Olympics and successfully, conservatively governing a Democratic state. I am proud to endorse him and will work my hardest to ensure he is elected so we can turn around our country.

Governor Haley stands with Mitt.
Governor Christie stands with Mitt.
Will you?
