Romney will be a great president. He is the most successful person I have met in all aspects of life. I really believe he will bring some competance back into the White House, while also maintaining the values.

Think of the great campaign slogans this endorsement will generate:
"I'll do anything Tom Rath tells me to do"
or
"I endorsed George, now I'm endorsing Mitt"

I'm with Jason/Portsmouth & Shari/Chichester on this one: I won't ever vote for Gregg again.
This quote is laughable, "...although I don't know Rudy Giuliani, I respect what he's done." What, exactly, has Giuliani "done"? Ever?
Until he marched around WTC in a paper dust mask because his office was bombed out and he had no other place to hide, Giuliani had one of the lowest approval ratings of the century as a NYC mayor!
Gregg obviously doesn't do his homework. His support of Mitt Romney is proof of that in itself. The Giuliani quote is just heaping insult upon the injury, and I'm ashamed I ever voted for Gregg. And I did do my homework before voting for him! :(
Mitt Romney? Come on. Even Giuliani wouldn't let his beloved family dog ride on the top of the family car on a 400+ mile road trip. One of his ex-wives, perhaps...

When are people going to learn to be accurate in their terminologies? Massachusetts residents have to purchase private insurance, this is not "socialized medicine." As a matter of fact no scheme on any candidate's table (including Clinton's) is "socialized medicine."
It is ironic that citizens shoot themselves in the foot by flipping out over the possibility of government intervention in our fantastically greedy and mean-spirited health care industry, the most expensive in the world. The insurers laugh all the way to the bank over that! Sure waste every damned cent we have in Iraq, but don't help kids be healthy, that make no sense.
Let's drop our 'worship the rich man," cultural ethos that so many people latch onto for the lack of other economic hope. The working man is as good as any millionaire, with more common sense and more humanity than most.
Judd Gregg is probably pocketing something for his endorsement, even if it's just stock tips over dinner with Romney. Birds of a feather....

Mitt is fantastic, and everything he's touched throughout his career has turned to gold.
After Weld, Celluci, and Swift, Mass voters were getting tired of GOP governors. Mitt ran a flawless campaign and won despite the liberal Mass electorate who had been burned by recent Republican govs. He then gave us four years of balanced budgets without broad tax increases (yes, a fee went up here and there), fighting the activist courts on marriage, and prohibiting the creation of human embryos for the sole purpose of their destruction in research labs.
Competence. Conservatism. We'd be lucky to have him as our nominee.
Rudy, McCain and Huckabee would split the party (Huckabee is bad on immigration and socialized medicine), while Thompson isn't ready for prime time.

Now I"ll never vote for Gregg again. Doesn't he remember how the great business man, Craig Benson, screwed up this state! I guess rich people just stick together no matter what! Mitt Romney is the GOP version of John Kerry, flip flops included!
- Shari, Chichester
"But I’m a conservative who believes in all three pillars of conservatism: social conservatism, economic conservatism and foreign policy conservatism."
Ha! That's rich, Romney. Everyone knows that foreign policy conservatism MEANS not interfering, not nation building, and not policing the world. Of the three things you mentioned, there is only ONE candidate that is all of them: Ron Paul.
I am appalled that Sen. Gregg endorsed Mitt Romney, a flip-flopping big business liberal who signed in the first stage of socialized medicine in his state. Looks like Gregg won't be getting my vote anymore!
- Jason, Portsmouth
George Bush, the most inept, incompetent president we have ever had to endure has totally ruined the potential for any republican to gain access to the white house. This endorsement on the part of Gregg is a total waste. But thats just my opinion.
