In an op-ed in The Oklahoman on Sunday, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) endorsed Mitt Romney for president. Oklahoma’s primary is Tuesday.
In life, and especially politics, our choices are seldom perfect and often difficult. But it is critically important to make a choice and support the person who is best equipped to solve the urgent problems before us. In my view, that person is Mitt Romney.
Coburn continued:
I’m proud to support Romney because he is a leader. What Romney has done in his 25 years in the private sector is precisely what we need a president to do in Washington. Romney has done hard things. He has turned businesses around, told people hard truths about what needed to be done, inspired confidence and overcome excuses. Romney is not a career politician or a career legislator. As a former governor and business leader, he is an executive who knows how to use executive power.
Polls over the last few weeks show Rick Santorum leading in Oklahoma.
