Jan Brewer Endorses Romney for President: 'By Far the Person Who Can Go in and Win

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is throwing her support behind Mitt Romney for president.

"I think Mitt is by far the person who can go in and win," Brewer said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I think he's the man who can go out and carry the day."

The Republican governor's endorsement comes just two days before Arizona's presidential primary.

"He handles himself very, very well," Brewer said of Romney. "But more than that he has that pro-business background and he has that political history that I think that he would serve America the best of all the candidates."

Brewer, with her strong anti-illegal immigration stance, is something of a hero in conservative circles: She made headlines when a now-infamous photo depicting what looked like a tense encounter with President Barack Obama circulated last month. On Saturday, it was reported that she would be skipping a black-tie governors' dinner at the White House.
