“When I evaluate candidates, I look first for integrity, competence, and a good, common sense philosophy of governance,” the lawmaker said. “Mitt Romney scores astoundingly high on all points.”
That's from Romney's latest endorsement, Rep. Vernon Ehlers (R-Mich.).
The Hill reports that Ehlers' endorsement continues to add to Romney's lead in congressional support.
Romney is edging away from Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who now trails Romney 29-27, according to The Hill’s lawmaker endorsements list. The GOP presidential candidate next most endorsed by members of Congress is former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, whom 21 lawmakers support. Undeclared candidate Fred Thompson, former senator from Tennessee, has been endorsed by 18 members of Congress.
