Scalia's Son Endorses Romney
The Atlantic.com ^ | January 24, 2008 | Marc Ambinder

John McCain is earning more establishment endorsements these days, but prominent Republican lawyers -- a big part of that Capital "E" Establishment --, for the most part, are briefing someone else:

Eugene Scalia, son of Justice Antonin Scalia and a former chief lawyer for the labor department, has been neutral in the presidential race until today. He's now aboard Lawyers for Romney, and joining him are about a dozen prominent Republican lawyers who, until Monday, had been supporters of Fred Thompson.

I was a Fred supporter but now support Mitt and will work for his nomination and election. If it is McCain, well lets not go there.

Well that is one black mark among some otherwise very good endorsements. Don’t attack me on this cp... I am ONLY speaking of bork... NOT Romney. bork is a man that does not respect the document he built his life around. I for one am happy he never made it to the SCOTUS. I would rather have Harriet than bork the dork. HE is anti-Second Amendment.

The last thing the Democrats want is a tall, vibrant, healthy man like Mitt Romney standing next to their short, fat old hag during the national debates...

MYTH is a liar and a liberal and doesn't represent Conservatives anymore than Giuliani or Paul or Huckabee do.

On a side note, the nurse attending to Heath Ledger was overheard telling the Janitor that Heath Ledger’s dying breath was ‘I endorse McCain’...

Have been media deprived lately. Has Fred formally endorsed another GOP candidate?
