Rubio Joins Parade, Endorses Romney

Fox News

Sen. Marco  Rubio, R-Fla., endorsed Mitt  Romney for president Wednesday night on Fox News’ “Hannity,” saying Romney  offers “a very clear alternative” to President Obama’s vision for the future of  the country.

Rubio, a young, first-termer who has been discussed  as a possible vice presidential candidate, criticized talk of a fight for the  Republican nomination on the convention floor, a possibility that is keeping  alive the campaigns of Rick  Santorum and Newt  Gingrich.

“I think that’s a recipe for delivering four more  years of Barack  Obama,” Rubio told Fox News’ Sean  Hannity.

Romney has “earned this nomination,” Rubio said,  though he again shot down questions about whether he would accept any offers of  a spot on the ticket.

“I don’t believe I’m going to be asked to be the  vice presidential nominee,” he said, adding it’s not something he wants.

The endorsement comes after another big-name in  Florida politics, former Gov. Jeb Bush, threw his support behind Romney, and  former President George H.W. Bush is expected to officially endorse Romney on  Thursday.

    Bill Kristol, the dean of the NeoConservatives, has been pushing Rubio for 2016 for some time. Get ready for a reprise of the Bush-Cheney disaster if Romney-Rubio wins.
