NY Jets Owner: 'I'd Rather Romney Win Than the Jets'

Click here to view this media

"Well I think you always have to put country first," Johnson said. "So I think it's very, very important that for ? not only us ? but in particular for our kids and grandkids that this election come off with Mitt Romney and Ryan as president and vice president."
