The National Review Endorses Romney
I had no idea of this story when I put up the poll earlier, and by puttung this up, I am neither endorsing nor discouraging a vote for Romney. I would just be remiss in my duties before Pat if I didn’t keep the biggest stories revolving around the Global War on Terror, our Military, and National Poltics if I didn’t put this one up.
I don’t want to hear: “You missed a big story yesterday” from da boss, ya know? heh heh
And this is big news because The National Review is arguably the biggest conservative publication in America.

Many conservatives are finding it difficult to pick a presidential candidate. Each of the men running for the Republican nomination has strengths, and none has everything — all the traits, all the positions — we are looking for. Equally conservative analysts can reach, and have reached, different judgments in this matter. There are fine conservatives supporting each of these Republicans.
Our guiding principle has always been to select the most conservative viable candidate. In our judgment, that candidate is Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts. Unlike some other candidates in the race, Romney is a full-spectrum conservative: a supporter of free-market economics and limited government, moral causes such as the right to life and the preservation of marriage, and a foreign policy based on the national interest. While he has not talked much about the importance of resisting ethnic balkanization — none of the major candidates has — he supports enforcing the immigration laws and opposes amnesty. Those are important steps in the right direction.

“Many conservatives are finding it difficult to pick a presidential candidate.” I will second that! Romney is not one of my favorites and I like Guiliani but sometimes he can’t keep his mouth shut.
