It would be difficult to name two more popular rising stars in the Republican party than Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. And this week, Mitt Romney managed to nail down both of their endorsements.
First, on Hannity on Wednesday night, Rubio said, “I am going to endorse Mitt Romney and the reason why, it’s not only because he’s going to be the Republican nominee, but he offers at this point, such a stark contrast to the president’s record. … I have zero doubt in my mind of two things: No. 1, that Mitt Romney will govern as a conservative, and No. 2, that he will be head and shoulders better than the guy who’s in the White House now.” Rubio later explained the timing of his endorsement by citing President Obama’s recent hot-mic moment with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev. “The stakes are so high. We have to win this election in November,” Rubio said.
