Bob McDonald Endorsed Gov. Mitt Romney

I am glad to see our governor (Gov. Bob McDonald of Virginia) endorsed Gov. Mitt Romney this morning. He stressed the point that I believe is extremely important at this critical time of the GOP Primary that Gov. Romney is in the best position to defeat President Barrack Hussein Obama and also noted that while SC are extremely excited about the straight-talk and bold criticism of the media by former Speaker Newt Gingrich, he had been disqualified from the Virginia primary because of failure to adhere to Virginia's requirements for GOP primary, sadly he lives in Virginia!
It is also important to note that Gov. Romney has more influence outside of SC than Gingrich, and it is important to remind voters and undeciders that underneath everything - the character of the the man that seeks the United States' president's office is vital. For the GOP to send someone with a life full of questions and reputation tainted by years of sexual immoralities and corruption against a Democrat party that is headed by one of the most talented and eloquent president and backed by multi-millionaires, is political suicide.
In our State - Virginia - the winner is obviously Gov. Romney because majority of Conservatives in Virginia see Rep. Ron Paul who is the only candidate that will compete with Gov. Romney in Virginia, extremely dangerous to the defense of this country. Virginia is home to many military and intelligence installations: This is home to CIA, NASA, NSA, Marine Corp, Army, Air Force, the largest Naval base in the world - Norfolk, and there is no way that Rep. Paul would convince voters to vote on his anti-military agenda.
Another thing I observed from Gingrich's surge in the polls - something I wrote about earlier - is that his surge is not really the result of his speeches and ideas. He is obviously benefited from from Gov. Rick Perry and Gov. Huntsman's exit. It is important to note that many of the supporters of Huntsman dislike Gov. Romney on a variety of issues, and it is more likely that they would support someone other than him despite the fact that Gov. Huntsman endorsed Romney. It is evident from the polls that Gov. Romney didn't gain any surge after Gov. Huntsman's endorsement, except Gingrich's poll.
My contention is this: If Gingrich's surge is attributed to his performance in debates - which is the case to a degree - he would have shot to the top after the debates. However, that is not the case. Polls showed that he gained about 10 points [after Monday's debate] bringing him to a step closer and another step ahead of the front runner Gov. Romney. Interestingly, after Gov. Perry's endorsement, he gained a few more points putting him ahead of the front-runner by a single or two points.
What the pundits want voters to know - which is somewhat dishonest in my opinion - is that they want voters to believe that every surge in these candidates poll must always attribute to their performances or hard-work. They refused accept that fact that voters are moving around, paying little attention to the polls.
