Romney mail piece touts endorsement from Nikki Haley
Columbia, South Carolina (CNN) - Mitt Romney is putting his endorsement from Gov. Nikki Haley front and center in a new mail piece sent out across South Carolina on Thursday.
The front flap of the mailer, which touts Romney's economic development plans, displays a photograph of Romney on stage with Haley at a recent campaign rally in New Hampshire.

The mail piece was provided to CNN by a Republican voter in Columbia.
The mailer declares Romney a "conservative businessman" who will "make America more competitive in the global economy" by speeding up domestic energy production, rolling back regulations and opening up foreign markets to U.S. products
The brochure – the third South Carolina mailing from the Romney campaign in the course of a week – also makes issue of a Boeing facility in North Charleston that was recently threatened by a high-profile National Labor Relations Board complaint about unfair practices.
Republicans, led by Haley and South Carolina's Congressional delegation, had seized on the complaint as an example of the Obama administration siding with unions over the private sector.
The mailer says that as president, Romney will stop "attacks from big labor and big government" against free enterprise.
The NLRB withdrew the complaint in December and production at the Boeing plant resumed.
Some Republicans have questioned whether Haley is an asset or a liability for Romney in the early primary state given her underwhelming poll numbers.
But Romney advisers have quietly pushed back against those claims and provided CNN with recent internal polling showing that two out of three South Carolina Republican voters approved of Haley's job performance.

How many of these types of endoresements are sincere? How many of these types of endorsements are simply people voicing an opinion so that they can be rewarded with an administration job should they candidate actually win? I think Haley is looking for a cookie.
Since he wants to tout around his endorsements, he should tout around his Christine O'Donnell endorsement.
What is she endorsing? Her negative approval!!! If I was Romney, I would not stick neither accept this woman endorsement !
I am sick of Golbert that he like act kid wild man
Maybe that will help you with the Indian, Pakistani voters.
I doubt it.
But you still will NOT get the Hispanic vote, that's reserved for our current President Barack Hussein Obama.

-----------------
What about stopping attacks from big money and big corporations on The People? Romney is arguing to protect the interests of big money and big corporations, not The People. Listen to him, again. Listen to what all conservatives are really saying.
“An overwhelming majority of South Carolina adults think Nikki Haley's endorsement won't help Mitt Romney win the state's primary,”
“A full 84.5 percent of those surveyed said Haley's nod won't make a difference for Romney,” from Politico
CNN the fact is 85% reject Nikki Haley's endorsement, but this news for CNN
Wow, the endorsement of a governor who isn't even liked by her own party in her own state. Not so sure I would be highlighting that if I were him.
Haley is not very well respected here in SC. She seems to be only interested in using her office to raise money. The Boeing issue is a non-starter. Obama did not try to shut down the new Boeing plant in Charleston and, in fact, he said that it would be ridiculous to do that. It's just one more case of Haley lying for political advantage.
I know her endorsement helps Mitt with the Tea Party types, but I am not going to vote for him next week because of it.
I honestly can't take a single endorsement seriously. People are jumping from Perry to Romney, from Romney to so and so. They simply endorse whomever the party tells them too after it becomes apparent who will win.
Don't know where this info came from, but current poll from Winthrop Univ. says her HIGHEST possible rating is at 40% while another poll says 34.6%. Just read an article from a conservative mag. that quotes Mark Sanford as saying he is very disappointed in her performance. He is the one who shoved Trikki Nikki on us!!
One Disaster follows another !!
The blind leading the blind.
Sorry–didn't name the mag.-it was the National Review-very good article. E-mailed to us by our DNC chairman.
If only her endorsement was genuine rather than opportunistic. She's no different than Palin other than she'll likely FINISH HER JOB as governor of a corrupt, poor and reliably failing southern state.
"But, remember, this is SC and they have a troubling record of electing nutjobs as governors, senators and congressman (Sanford, DeMint and Wilson). "

Yeah, you might be right. Because that is exactly what happened with Hillary Clinton.
Just a thought- do you think Romney might be setting up "niki" to relace "sarah" as a repug VP candidate..?
