National Review is reporting that Governor Matt Blunt will likely endorse former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney for President of the United States in the coming days.Jonathan Martin dishes the appetizing scoop in his column on the annual gathering of Republican Governors in Miami, Florida.
Key graph from Martin's piece:
"Romney’s camp has been more tight-lipped about who is in their corner among the gubernatorial ranks, but one close supporter said that the RGA chair has the as-of-yet undeclared support of around a dozen of his colleagues. Among them is Missouri Governor Matt Blunt. The first-term governor said in an interview today that he would make a public endorsement “probably in the next few days.” Asked for which candidate, Blunt replied that he had “a great deal of admiration for Gov. Romney.” Blunt, the son of House Republican Whip Roy Blunt, said he wants “to elect a conservative candidate” and Romney is “the most conservative of those” in the field who are “credible.” Asked if McCain was also a conservative candidate, Blunt chose to talk about Romney."

Seems kind of early to making endorsements, doesn't it?
I think of Al Gore putting his chips on Howard Dean and that was when Dean had momentum just a month before New Hampshire.
"...Asked if McCain was also a conservative candidate, Blunt chose to talk about Romney."
Haw Haw! Thanks for the best laugh I've had all day! :)
