Romney gets Atlanta newspaper nod

Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor January 26, 2008 04:35 PM

Mitt Romney today picked up an endorsement in the biggest newspaper in Georgia, one of the 21 states with Republican contests on Feb. 5.

"The Republican who best exemplifies all the qualities needed in a president is former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney," the Atlanta Journal-Constitution says in its endorsement.

"The qualities needed now in the Oval Office are business knowledge and experience, an understanding of economies and the imperatives of those who manage them around the world, an ability to problem-solve and to assess talent and to assemble the right team to accomplish a mission," the Journal-Constitution said. "What's needed, too, is a strong grounding in principle and steadfastness in the face of pressure and panic, but with the adaptability and flexibility to adjust to changing circumstances."

  1. Great editorial. If Romney wins Florida, I hope that McCain will realize that a Romney-McCain ticket would be nearly unbeatable and combine the strengths of two great men for the benefit of our Nation. Now THAT'S an editorial I'd like to read!

  1. I couldn't see Romney taking McCain as a running mate. McCain has trouble with truthfulness and is holding hands too tightly with Kennedy.

  1. McCain hates Romney. He hates him because he is afraid of him. Romney invited McCain to a one on one debate, but McCain refused. McCain knows that he can't win a debate one on one with Romney. McCain will say he refused because he doesn't need to go head to head with Romney to show that he is the better candidate, but if the debate tonight in California is any indicator, McCain refused because he knows he can't win against Romney when it's just the two of them on stage.
