[release](CNN) - Mitt Romney had "no idea" George H.W. Bush was going to publicly support his bid for the White House Thursday, saying at an event in New Hampshire the backing from the former president meant more personally than it did politically.
"I had no idea that was coming," Romney said, adding he thought of Bush as a "hero."
Romney's comments came after Bush told the Houston Chronicle the former Massachusetts governor was the "best choice" for the 2012 Republican nomination.
The Texas newspaper noted Bush's support did not constitute an official endorsement. Bush and his family live in the state of another presidential hopeful, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, complicating the notion of a full-scale endorsement.
In the interview with the Chronicle, Bush explained why he wasn't backing Perry.
"I like Perry, but he doesn't seem to be going anywhere; he's not surging forward," Bush said.[/release]
