Nope, daughter Liz Cheney endorsed Romney. Did Bill say Lynne? Maybe he mis-spoke.
Was it just me, or was FNS pushing McCain to the max?
And it appeared Juan Williams is jealous of soul bro Obama...:)
What up,who uncoverd what?
Senators who know McCain ....
Proamnesty RINO Mel Martinez and liberal Democrat Lieberman are for McCain.
Conservative Senator Jim DeMint has endorsed Romney:

We see a trend - conservatives endorse Romney, Liberals and RINOs endorse McCain.
“McCain dismissed Cochran as a notorious pork barrel politician who is one of his enemies.”
Yes, funny how McCain has conservative Republican enemies and liberal Democrat friends.
Mitt Romney for President. Say NO to proamnesty-proCO2caps-CFR-nannystate-RINO John McCain
A lot of folks will scream and holla at this, but I am seeing that Romney has many of Reagan’s skills, e.g., the one you just mentioned: communication.
That candidate to stop McCain and be the consensus Republican candidate for President has emerged:
Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney for President. Say NO to proamnesty-proCO2caps-CFR-nannystate-RINO John McCain
It sure looked to me like FNS wanted to give anyone but Romney a boost this morning. Oh, and apparently, Giuliani doesn’t exist.
Thanks, Anita.
Mitt Romney for President. Say NO to proamnesty-proCO2caps-CFR-nannystate-RINO John McCain
AND, let’s see who gets face time in the media tomorrow.
I predict it will be all McCain all the time, with maybe a catty remark or two about Romney.
If you consider the pro-life/pro-gun wing of the base as not much?
My feeling, since I don't believe Huckabee is sincere about any position he takes, is that in the long run he wouldn't deliver either the pro-life or the pro-gun types, except for ones who are easily fooled. Again, I don't think that Huckabee believes anything he's saying, nor has he ever. He's a con man. I've seen all too many of them in the evangelical movement, folks like Jim Bakker. There are too many like that and far too few like Billy Graham or his son Franklin (or my late Uncle William). And it's not new. Think of Aimee Semple McPherson or any of a thousand charlatans through history, such as Simon Magus.
There are lots of folks who invoke the name of Jesus who aren't truly followers of Jesus, regardless of what church they attend.
Huckabee is Jimmy Carter, not Ronald Reagan. He'll talk a good game until he gets elected, then watch out. I have a friend who was in his church when Huckabee was still a minister. He really liked him and thought highly of him. But he insists that Huckabee changed when he became governor. We talked for awhile and decided that the "bad" Huckabee that emerged as Governor was the real person and that the "good" Huckabee from his ministry was the act. Huckabee's just putting on his old act again.
Conservative fred-heads for Romney.
Yes, but never forget that Ross Perot was the most successful (almost) 3rd party candidate ever. He really hurt Bush. In fact, he killed him the first time.
Clinton would never have been elected without Perot.
He was motitivated by hatred of Bush senior. I never knew what it was, but recent speculation was that it had to do with Viet Nam prisoners and a fight about getting them out/or not.
Street money is what you do with ‘walkin’ around money’
41 nixed a software opportunity to Perot worth a billion.
Hillary is number 86 on Bill’s little black book list.
Nah ... not that high.
INteresting times we live in.
I really hope Fred does not endorse McCain.
I so don’t want to be disillusioned about Fred. I know he’s a good friend with McCain, but he has to be aware of McCain’s bad positions on many issues.
We got an odd endorsement out of Duncan Hunter that proved a ten thousand post thread (sort of) on this site. Someone joked that there were more posts on that thread than Hunter received in all the primaries combined, which was just about true.
Anyway, I hope he endorses nobody or Mitt.
That is the reason I think Romney or Rooty nomination = Landslide loss in Nov.
I have a very good path into the grass roots activists in the NRA across the South (that's apparently an actual, official position in the NRA political action group) and they seem to be settling around Romney as there best bet in the field that's left. They hate McCain with a passion, largely over McCain/Feingold, because it was targeted at them, among others. They think Huckabee is cuckoo or all too easily portrayed as cuckoo.
The folks in more absolutist groups, like some of those in GOA, are trending towards Ron Paul, of all things.
