Mitt to Endorse Mac
CNN is reporting that Mitt Romney will endorse John McCain later today.
Of course, the big question is whether or not this will help smooth things over between McCain and many of the conservative activists who backed Romney. It's hard to say, but it stands to reason that it'll help at least somewhat.
Give credit to Romney, who's been very gracious in defeat throughout this campaign. By emphasizing McCain's steadfast commitment to winning in Iraq, Romney has demonstrated the kind of perspective and priority of policy that so many of his supporters have lacked.
Romney is apparently "releasing" his 286 delegates and encouraging them to back McCain. Assuming most of them go along, this puts McCain at somewhere around 1,000 delegates, just shy of making his presumptive nomination a factual reality. Is this the tipping point that finally persuades Huckabee to drop out?
