In what sense has Club for Growth endorsed Pence? For POTUS in 2008? I would find that amazing...not impossible, but amazing.

I got a (mass) email a few weeks ago from Pat Toomey from the club and it said something like "wouldn't you like to see this guy run for president", or..... well i don't want to mischaracterize it... but it gave the impression they were supporting pence and then the club's blog started citing Mike Pence stories a lot and then Stephan Moore, ex pres, said this in a Washingotn Post article:

"Mike is charismatic. He's articulate, but he's not shrill or mean the way some conservatives can be," said Stephen Moore, former president of the Club for Growth, a conservative political action committee. "I think a lot of us are looking around and saying, 'Who is the next great conservative hero? Where is the next Ronald Reagan in our party?' . . . The Study Committee has close to 100 members now. That's a high water mark. So it means that all legislation that passes Congress is going to have go through Mike Pence."

The Club strikes very early, thats one of the reasons I like them so much - they really make a difference. Recall they endorsed Gov Owens like 3-4 months ago. I read a few other news stories here and there that tell me they are most likely fully behind and supporting mike pence for pres. Perhaps there hasn't been an offical anouncment yet, I couldn't find one.

I tried to find some of these, but was unable to and I deleted that old email. Sorry, I hate it when people say things on here and can't back it up with solid evidence, but i guess thats what i kind of did in this case. :)
