Senator Chip Pearson is backing Jim Gilmore for President.  Governor Gilmore will be at the Capitol tomorrow morning, and I am looking forward to meeting him.

Last month, John McCain visited the Capitol and spoke to the Senate Republican Caucus.  He came with one of my political heroes, Phil Gramm.  I left the Caucus meeting wishing that Senator Gramm was again a candidate for President.

At this point, I lean toward Mitt Romney.  I have heard him speak three times, twice in Atlanta and once in Boston.  I also had the privilege of introducing him on one of those occasions, when he was in Atlanta last fall campaigning for Casey Cagle.  He is an impressive, almost charismatic, individual, and I agree with much of what he says.

I also like Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee and Sam Brownback, although each for different reasons.   

I will turn my full attention to the Presidential race once the session is behind us.
