Mitt Romney is going to suffer another set back today, as he is going to lose the endorsement of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine. Mr. Romney has not had to deal with a problem like this before.
Mr. Romney’s bigger problem is that the endorsement will go to the current rising star in the Republican race for the primary. Rick Santorum.
Mike DeWine is not just the attorney general of Ohio. He also pushed his state to join the 25 others that filed a lawsuit against the federal government to blog the federal health care overhaul.
This is the biggest thing to happen to both campaigns since Santorums three state sweep last week. An event that again hurts the Romney campaign, as they lose an endorsement in one of the states that are key to winning the presidential election.
Also, this is not the only endorsement that Rick Santorum has received. He has gotten the endorsement of the Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life organization. This is the first time that they have ever endorsed a candidate for president.
This news certainly gives Santorum a good edge over Romney as we head in to the Arizona and Michigan primary, which is a little less than two weeks from now.
