Jan Brewer endorsement apparently coming tomorrow.

[Keystone Phil]

Does she keep it safe and go with Romney or does she make it interesting and go with Santorum or Newt?

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

$5 on Barack Obama for the lulz.

[tpfkaw]

Romney, obviously.  (Not only is he the "safe" choice, he's also the most protectionist on immigration).

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Romney, and we all know what happens in states he's endorsed by Governor

[RI]

Hard to see an establishment figure not endorse Romney.

[Progressive]

I can't see her not endorsing Romney

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

From an immigration standpoint, my money would be on Romney.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Santorum isn't exactly weak on the issue of immigration either.


But I think it is likely that Brewer will go for Mittens.

From a political standpoint yes - the mormons will reward her if she wants to run for a second term or for another office.

I doubt, however, that she relishes endorsing Romney because she is not really establishment.  In fact, prior to leading the AZ GOP to massive political success in 2010 due to the immigration issue, the establishment really hated her.  She is buddies with Sarah Palin and crew too...

She is term limited. That partial term counts as her first I beleive.

She wasn't well liked by the base either and she raised some taxes I think and was heading to a primary defeat. The Immigration issue really bailed her out of hot water, politically.

[riceowl]

it's Romney.

[tmthforu94]

Yep, better than any of the others, at least.

[RI]

Wake me up when a prominent Republican elected official endorses someone other than Romney.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Wake me up when a prominent Republican elected official endorses someone other than Romney.

[Whacker77]

Jan Brewer is a profile in courage.  She waited until Romney had a commanding lead in the polls to make choice.  That's leadership.

[Torie]

it's Romney.

Yes, Mittens is the one.

[Joe Republic]

Given Romney's track record among gubernatorial endorsements, this does not bode well for his chances in Arizona.
