Romney gets elder Bush’s unofficial endorsement

When asked which Republican presidential candidate he supports, Bush told his hometown newspaper, the Houston Chronicle, that Romney is the best choice. That casts aside Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who briefly led the Republican field after entering the race earlier this year.
Bush said he likes Perry but he seems to have lost momentum.
While campaigning in New Hampshire, Romney thanked Bush and said his backing means a lot to him personally. He said the 41st president is a hero to him.
In an item posted on the paper’s website Thursday, Bush said he supports Romney because of his “stability, experience and principles.”
