Senator Bennet Supports Mitt Romney For President

Boston, MA - Today, Governor Mitt Romney announced that U.S. Senators Robert Bennett (R-UT) and Larry Craig (R-ID) will serve as Co-Senate Liaisons for the Romney for President Exploratory Committee. As Liaisons, they will lead Governor Romney's outreach efforts to their fellow Senators.

"It is an honor to have the support and leadership in the United States Senate of Senator Bennett and Senator Craig. Throughout their years of service, they have compiled strong conservative records and have accomplished much for the people of their states and their nation," said Governor Romney. "Both men have a unique perspective of the new generation of challenges confronting our nation. I look forward to working with them to find the solutions needed to ensure that our country remains a strong world leader."

Switches to McCain from Romney; follows Romney's advice to get behind McCain

Deseret Morning News:

Bennett and Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, previously supported Mitt Romney for the Republican ticket. Romney ran the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City and is a member of the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

But Romney dropped out of the race Feb. 7 and later endorsed McCain for the presidency, encouraging his delegates to vote for McCain and for his supporters to get behind the Arizona senator.

"That was sound advice, and I have followed it," Bennett said. "Now, I call on Mike Huckabee to do the same. John McCain deserves the time to unite the party and prepare for the battle in November rather than being distracted by a candidate that hopes lightning will strike even though the thunderstorm has since moved on."
