Gov. Brian Sandoval: any of the GOP candidates would ‘make a great president’

CARSON CITY -- Gov. Brian Sandoval will attend a Republican caucus in Reno on Feb. 4 but he won't back any of the GOP candidates for president.

Sandoval, who endorsed early the candidacy of Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has dropped out of the race, said any of the remaining candidates would "make a great president."

He said he will wait until the national GOP convention, when the party makes its choice official, before backing a candidate.

Asked if he was turned off by the bitter campaigning among the candidates, he called it "part of the process."

Sandoval was mentioned by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney during a debate this week as a potential cabinet member in a Romney administration.

Sandoval said he intends to serve out the rest of his term.
