Bob Dole Goes to Bat for Mitt Romney in Kansas

Former GOP presidential candidate and U.S. Senate leader Bob Dole endorsed Mitt Romney for the Republican presidential nomination back in December. Dole resurfaced for the Romney campaign on Thursday as Romney heads into the Kansas caucus, which has 40 delegates at stake, on Saturday.

Dole, who was first elected to the Kansas Legislature in 1950 before serving as Russell County attorney and moving up to Congress in 1960, praised Romney and tried to sell Sunflower State Republicans on the former Massachusetts governor.

Ive known Governor Romney for some time and Kansas would be well-served if he wins in our state on Saturday. He is a man of high standards. He is a Main Street conservative and, knowing the Congress as I do, I believe he will have great success in working with Republicans and Democrats once he is inaugurated, Dole said. Its also a time when Kansans have an opportunity to make a difference. Every delegate is important because of the timing of the Kansas caucus. Governor Romney holds a lead after winning six states on Super Tuesday. If Governor Romney can do well here, hell be much closer to his goal. Do Kansas a favor in voting for the best candidate on Saturday, March 10. Thank you, and give Governor Romney your vote.
