Dear Diary,

We got in the newspapers today!

Look – the New York Times had our name in a headline (admittedly it was an Associated Press wire report, but the Times is the Times – right, Diary?):

Romney Endorses Rubio Over Crist in Florida Race

H-e-double-hockey-sticks yes we endorsed Tea Partyboy Marco Rubio in the Florida GOP gubernatorial primary.

Remember several years ago, Diary, when I went to Florida with a million-dollar check for Crist’s sake? Okay, it was the Republican Governors Association that ponied up the money, not me, so no hard feelings.

But this is another day, and now I’m putting other people’s money where my mouth is, as the Times notes:

Mr. Romney also said that his Free and Strong America political action committee would make the maximum $5,000 contribution to Mr. Rubio’s primary election campaign.

Rubio is leading Crist by 23% in current public opinion polls. I think my $5000 just might put him over the top.

Good day, Diary!

Love,

Mitt
