Without any endorsement news today Romney pooh-poohed the Brownback
and Robertson endorsements and took a shot at Rudy in South
Carolina declaring: "I don't think the Republican Party will choose
a pro-choice, pro-gay civil union candidate to lead our party."
That was a pretty gutsy comment coming from someone who held
pro-gay rights and pro-choice views as late as 2005. It was also an
inviting a target for the Rudy folks who responded through
spokeswoman Maria Comella: "It would seem someone forgot to show
Mitt Romney today's USA/Gallup survey. It's clear that Republicans
across the board are supporting the experienced candidate who
actually sticks with his positions and has used Conservative
principles to actually get results."
