MI governor to endorse Romney. [View all]

WASHINGTON -- Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder plans to endorse Mitt Romney's presidential bid Thursday.

Snyder will announce at an event in Farmington Hills, Mich., that he's backing Romney, a Republican official told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The former Massachusetts governor is fighting rival Rick Santorum to win the Feb. 28 Republican primary in Michigan, Romney's home state. Losing the contest would be a significant embarrassment for Romney, whose father, George, served as Michigan's governor before losing his presidential bid in 1968.

Snyder, who like Romney is a former venture capitalist, was elected in 2010 after campaigning as an outsider with business experience. He plans to argue that Romney has a conservative fiscal record and a bold plan to cut spending.
