S.C. Gov. Haley Endorses Mitt Romney

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on Friday became the latest Republican with Tea Party ties to throw her support behind Mitt Romney and his bid for the GOP presidential nomination.

"When I look at the focus of what every family cares about, it’s jobs, the economy and spending. And what I want is someone who is not a part of the chaos that is Washington," Haley said on Fox News. "What I wanted was someone who knew what it was like to turn broken companies around, someone who had proven results by improving a failed Olympics and ended up being a great success story and someone that knows what it’s like to make a decision and lead, not just make a vote. And Mitt Romney is that person."

Haley's endorsement had been long sought after by most of the GOP candidates. She said that all but Ron Paul had reached out to her, but ultimately that she decided Romney was the best candidate to take on President Obama in a general election.

“You put all these candidates together and you have one perfect candidate,” she said. “But you are never going to have a perfect candidate."
