Former N.H. Governor Sununu to endorse Mitt Romney’s White House bid

[oberliner]

Former New Hampshire Governor John H. Sununu will endorse Mitt Romney tomorrow, aiming to boost the Republican presidential candidate’s momentum in the lead presidential primary state.

Sununu told the Globe that three things made up his mind: Romney’s commitment to cutting spending and cutting taxes; his decision to keep Massachusetts out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, which would have instituted a cap and trade policy for greenhouse gasses; and his speech at the Citadel in South Carolina on foreign policy, where Romney talked about strengthening America’s military.

“We’ve basically depleted our assets in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Sununu said. “If we want to maintain our role as trying to stabilize the world, we have to have our strength. No other candidate has really talked about that.”

Sununu served three terms as New Hampshire governor in the 1980s and was White House chief of staff under President George H.W. Bush.

1. That guy is a real weirdo. I'm talking seriously "not right."

How nice that one weirdo is endorsing another.

7. In what sense?

I don't really know a lot about him - curious to know what you mean by that.

8. He has some curious personal failings. Beyond that,I don't really want to say.

I'd be violating the confidence of others.

All I can note is, I am unsurprised that he has a bunch of kids.

state of MA while governor.
