MI governor to endorse Romney.

WASHINGTON -- Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder plans to endorse Mitt Romney's presidential bid Thursday.

Snyder will announce at an event in Farmington Hills, Mich., that he's backing Romney, a Republican official told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The former Massachusetts governor is fighting rival Rick Santorum to win the Feb. 28 Republican primary in Michigan, Romney's home state. Losing the contest would be a significant embarrassment for Romney, whose father, George, served as Michigan's governor before losing his presidential bid in 1968.

Snyder, who like Romney is a former venture capitalist, was elected in 2010 after campaigning as an outsider with business experience. He plans to argue that Romney has a conservative fiscal record and a bold plan to cut spending.

taking away people's right to vote on local governance? And the way you've gone about it has fallen as disproportionately as it has on the black community?

Peas in a pod?

I'm just hoping we can stop them before they take vulture capitalism in politics to the national level. Snyder and his ilk are selling state assets at a rate we've never seen before.

The Teahadii elected these economic rapists, who are they going to blame when the infrastructure falls apart completely?
