According to RedState, Indiana Congressman Mike Pence, who currently serves as House Republican Conference Chairman, announced his endorsement of Marco Rubio for U.S. Senate. Rubio is the real conservative in the Florida Senate seat race, his Republican opponent Charlie Christ is about as conservative as Obama is. Both Rubio or Christ would crush the Democrat challenger at this point.
Making today’s announcement, Pence said, “I am proud to endorse Marco Rubio for the United States Senate. Marco Rubio’s faith in free markets, limited government and traditional moral values make him the right choice for Republicans in this race. At a time when the American people long for leaders of principle, Marco Rubio will be a courageous check and balance on the current Washington establishment.
“With Washington spending money we don’t have and empowering the government at the expense of individual freedom, we need more leaders like Marco Rubio who are willing to take a stand for the common sense and common values of the American people.”
Welcoming Pence’s endorsement, Rubio said, “Mike Pence’s professional and political careers have been defined by his thoughtful advocacy of conservative principles. I am proud to have Congressman Pence’s support and look forward to working with him in Washington to promote freedom at home and abroad.”
