THUNE BACKING ROMNEY

SOUTH DAKOTA SENATOR JOHN THUNE VISITED WITH KSCJ NEWS THIS MORNING ON A CAMPAIGN SWING FOR GOP PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER MITT ROMNEY.

ONE OF THE TOPICS COVERED WAS THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE. SENATOR THUNE HAS SOME STRONG WORDS FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA AND HIS ADMINISTRATION REGARDING THE DELAY ON APPROVING THE PROJECT:

THUNE, WHO ONCE CONSIDERED A RUN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE, DECIDED AGAINST TRYING FOR THE TOP POST AND PUT HIS EFFORTS BEHIND MITT ROMNEY. 

HE BELIEVES ROMNEY WOULD PROVIDE THE LEADERSHIP TO SHEPHERD PROJECTS LIKE THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE THROUGH CONGRESS WITH GREATER SPEED.
