Mitt Romney Builds his Team in Michigan

TrailingRick Santorum in the polls of Michigan, where his father served as governor during the 1960s, Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney unveiled the support of former state Attorney General Mike Cox, former state Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop, three state representatives (two current and one former) and five county GOP chairmen. Michigan holds its primary on Feb. 28

I am honored to have such overwhelming support from leaders across Michigan, said Romney on Wednesday. Michigan has been home to me. I remember when Michigan was the envy of the nation -- I look forward to working with these leaders to bring jobs back and restore Michigans economy.

Michigan and the rest of the country cant afford four more years of failed policies from President Obama, said Cox. Mitt Romney is the Republican Partys best chance to defeat President Obama, repeal Obamacare, cut spending, and appoint Supreme Court justices who respect the Constitution. Conservatives who are concerned about the direction of our country should join our growing Michigan team in supporting Mitt Romney -- four more years of President Obama could be devastating for the country.
