“Dirty Jobs” host Mike Rowe is scheduled to appear with Mitt Romney at a Wednesday campaign event in Bedford Heights, Ohio. Rowe impressed conservatives earlier this month with his open letter to Romney<\/a> about the value of hard work and the nation’s skills gap.<\/p>\n\n\n

@KHShan<\/a> Really. That's great! Did you read the letter he wrote? I was impressed and Rowe was impressed that Romney read it.<\/p>\n

The Twitterverse is bursting with the news that Rowe will endorse the GOP candidate at the “manufacturing round table<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n

Remember Mike Rowe's open letter to Romney? He must have liked the response, because he's endorsing Mitt today in Ohio. http:\/\/t.co\/QJf18ff5<\/a><\/p>\n

Previously, Rowe indicated that he “will make no public endorsement, one way or the other<\/a>.” But Cleveland.com reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Discovery Channel personality and Ford Motor Co. pitchman will offer his support Wednesday to Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney at a public event in Bedford Heights.<\/p>\n

Romney’s campaign announced the Rowe endorsement late Monday when confirming Romney’s Cleveland-area itinerary for the final day of a two-day bus tour through battleground Ohio.<\/p>\n

Is Rowe really ready to pick up the shovel for Romney’s campaign? One Twitter user points to remarks made by Rowe on Bill Bennett’s “Morning in America” program this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n

Mike Rowe on Bill Bennett's 'Morning in America' says today is not an endorsement. He is joining Romney to move the conversation forward 1\/2<\/p>\n

Mike Rowe on Bill Bennett's 'Morning in America' says Romney responded to his letter about need for understanding jobs in 12 hours. 2\/2<\/p>\n

\n

Then again, when Rowe wrote his open letter to Romney he promised, “If you read the whole thing, I’ll vote for you in November<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Official endorsement or not, conservatives are thrilled to have Rowe join the national conversation about jobs. We’ll find out this afternoon whether Rowe is ready to take the plunge.<\/p>\n\n\n
