BY VICTORIA CRAIG

Just days before Super Tuesday, two GOP presidential candidates and their supporters made the rounds on the Sunday talk shows. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer seized an opportunity to throw her support behind Mitt Romney on NBC’s “Meet the Press” — saying she’ll do whatever it takes to help him win.

“I think that he has that pro-business background and he has that political history that I think he would serve America the best of all the candidates.”

And on Fox News Sunday, Romney answered questions about comments he made on the campaign trail referring to how many cars he and his wife own. He told Chris Wallace his successful past doesn’t mean he’s out of touch with average Americans.

“If people think that there’s something wrong with being successful in America, they better vote for the other guy.”

And one of his big supporters backed Romney up on that claim. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” — saying, so what if Romney’s rich?

“The cat’s out of the bag, Bob, on the fact that Governor Romney’s wealthy...I think this is something where, to be candid, folks are looking for him to make trip-ups.

Still, Governor Christie pointed out GOP voters aren’t settled yet...calling the electorate volatile and saying no candidate is a shoo-in this year. But Robert Gibbs, former press secretary to President Obama, told CNN’s Candy Crowley, it’s Rick Santorum who has the most likely shot at the GOP nomination.

“He’s clearly somebody who has a very different economic background than Mitt Romney...he’s not worth $250 million and I assume his wife doesn’t have several Cadillacs."

Shifting gears, Santorum talked international relations with ABC’s “This Week.” Santorum said the US shouldn’t apologize for the Koran burning last week — saying there was no deliberate wrongdoing in the process.

“Say that this is something that should not have been done, we’ll adopt better procedures. But to apologize for something that was not an intentional act is something that the President of the United States, in my opinion, should not have done.”

And Mitt Romney weighed in on the foreign relations talk—  on Fox News Sunday, he commented on President Obama’s decision to announce US troop withdrawals from Afghanistan — calling it a mistake to announce deadlines to the world.
