According to the Associated Press, a source has informed them that Michigan Governor Rick Snyder will endorse Mitt Romney for the state's February 28th primary election. The story comes just days after Snyder announced on Monday his intention to make an endorsement for the Republican Presidential primary.
The AP reports that the announcement could come as soon as Thursday at an event in Farmington Hills, MI, according to a Republican official. In the 2010 Michigan elections, Romney endorsed Snyder for governor, and the two share similar backgrounds as venture capitalists before becoming politicians and governors of Michigan and Massechusetts, respectively.
The endorsement will likely give a boost to Romney, who is trailing rival Rick Santorum by double digits in recent polls. Both candidates, however, would lose in a head to head matchup with President Obama, according to the same poll. The two have begun a fierce battle for the state's 30 delegates, the most of any election so far.
