George H.W. Bush to endorse Romney

Former President George H.W. Bush will formally endorse Mitt Romney for president on Thursday, CBS News has confirmed.

The former president has made supportive comments in the past about Romney, and his wife Barbara Bush has recorded robocalls for the candidate.

Mr. Bush will make the endorsement in Houston, where he's meeting with Romney. Neither former President George W. Bush nor former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush -- who has already endorsed Romney -- will be at the meeting.

Romney has long been considered the "establishment" candidate, but in the past month, more high-profile Republicans have indicated it's time for the GOP to finally coalesce around one candidate. As Romney continues to rack up delegates and his opponents continue to falter, an aura of inevitability has grown around his campaign. In addition to getting stronger support from the GOP establishment, Romney has seen his level of public support improve as well.

1. What about Dubya? When is he going to address the cheering crowds?

When can we expect to see him on the campaign trail, calling for a continuation of successful Republican policies?

That's what I thought.

13. if Dems had no scruples, they would record that robocall with W themselves

''You want smore tax breaks for the rich, deregerlating wall street, n wars to make Dick Cheney n oil companies happy as a pig in shit? Vote for a new W, Willard ''Mitsey'' Romney.

I'm George W. Bush, and I approve this trust fund baby fur preznit.''

16. He hasn't endorsed Romney yet

I imagine that's not much of a cause for alarm at Romney HQ. He'll endorse him for the general, but probably wont' make many appearances. Maybe a little fundraising, if that.

2. Who the fuck cares

3. Ah yes the Bush kiss if death, McCain knows it well from back when he recieved his own in 2008.

4. He likes the silver spoon kids. He raised several...

...well, the house staff raised several.

5. Ahhh...the fix is in.....does this mean they will have Jeb chosen as the Veep?

Or that Romney has to agree to not trying to run again in 2016 so Jebby has his shot....

[RZM]

17. Nobody's choosing Jeb for VP

You can get all he brings with Rubio and no Bush name to boot.

Plus if Romney loses to Obama this year, he's done for good. No way anybody even thinks about giving him a third chance.

6. Big yawn

Sad, but Bush Sr. actually looks sane and competent in comparison with these idiots. (Not that should be misconstrued as any sign of support for his disastrous policies.)

[Ecumenist]

7. 3 words: KISS.OF.DEATH.

[ehrnst]

8. Perhaps they'll make the announcement from Mitt's new 4 car garage with elevator

to underscore how Romney will lift the economy.
