Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) will announce his support for Mitt Romney on Thursday. Portman believes what virtually all other Republicans do at this point: that the sooner this primary ends, the better: “I had not planned on endorsing this early in the primary process. However, I feel one candidate’s policy positions, debate performances, and character make him the best candidate to take on President Obama, and I feel our chances in November will be improved by coalescing around one candidate and stopping the political attacks among Republicans.”
