"But it's become clear in the last few months and particularly in the last few weeks that the only candidate who really has a plan that could get him the nomination other than Rudy Giuliani is Mitt Romney."

Thats what it comes down to.

[Just A Nobody]

Thats what it comes down to.

Yep...the fix is in.

Did they rate him? I know one candidate that has a 92% with ACU. So much for that!

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

ACU has NOT endorsed Romney, Chairman David Keene did, like he supported Nixon over Reagan in 1968, and endorsed Senator Spector in his last GOP primary. That’s what Keene does, he endorses RINOs.

[JSDude1]

CPAC (and ACU) have largely gravitated into RINOism as of the last coulpe years (when I attended the had both the ACLU and “Log Cabin GOP” in attendance with a booth..) YOu would call them conservative??

[colorcountry]

Wadda ya know. A noob Romney supporter. Surprise, surprise!

[Col Freeper]

It was my understanding that this endorsement is from an individual, not the ACU’s official endorsement.

If that is true, Mr. Moran has performed one of the following:

1. Inadvertently tagged this article with an erroneous title, requiring an immediate correction, to correct his error.

2. Purposefully tagged this article with an erroneous title, and is attempting to portray a situation as something it is not, requiring an immediate apology and correction, to attempt to restore his credibility.

I was wondering why Mitt is way behind and is going to not carry his home state of Massachusetts. He's too conservative! Duh!

[Petronski]

a) This is more of a blog than a publication, and ought to in blogs/personal.

b) The headline is a lie: Romney was NOT endorsed by the ACU, only by it’s leader David Keene.

c) In 2004, Keene endorsed Arlen Specter (ACU 47) over Pat Toomey (ACU 97). Keene is not much of a conservative (thus the Willard endorsement makes sense).

[Soul Seeker]

Keene made his inclinations clear awhile ago. Thus far he does NOT represent the opinion of the ACU with his endorsement of Romney unless there have been developments I don’t know of.

I find it more telling that old news of keene’s support is flushed back up now that Romney is in a struggle, and that a false perception he has the support of the ACU is being alleged. he didn’t have the NRTL just because he had a founder in his campaign, and so far he doesn’t have the ACU.

[Delacon]

Ouch. I made a mistake. I should not have posted this because it misrepresents the ACU in its title. I like the ACU. I usually agree with them. We live in a world where Bush was thought to be a conservative, McCain was thought to be a conservative and until the Iraq war, Ron Paul a conservative. Nobody knows who to dance with now, not and dance at the inauguration ball.

[tear gas]

And I frankly don't find Rudy Giuliani all that attractive a candidate

How would it look if he endorsed Rudy within days of Rudy having to withdraw?
