Judge Robert Bork Endorses Mitt Romney

Now, this is a big endorsement for Romney.
Today, noted conservative jurist Judge Robert Bork endorsed Governor Mitt Romney for President of the United States.
Joining Romney for President, Judge Bork said, “Throughout my career, I have had the honor of serving under several Presidents and am proud to make today’s endorsement. No other candidate will do more to advance the conservative judicial movement than Governor Mitt Romney. He knows firsthand how the judicial branch can profoundly affect the future course of a state and a nation. I greatly admired his leadership in Massachusetts in the way that he responded to the activist court’s ruling legalizing same-sex ‘marriage.’ His leadership on the issue has served as a model to the nation on how to respect all of our citizens while respecting the rule of law at the same time.”
Judge Bork continued, “Our next President may be called upon to make more than one Supreme Court nomination, and Governor Romney is committed to nominating judges who take their oath of office seriously and respect the rule of law in our nation. I also support Governor Romney because of his character, his integrity and his stands on the major issues facing the United States.”
With judicial nominations being a big concern regarding who the next president is, getting Bork’s endorsement should help Romney in these crucial weeks before the Iowa Caucuses. The question is, will this eclipse the Tuttman/Tevares story? It might do just that, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Huckabee camp will respond by bringing that up again.

I like Mitt, I know alot of you guys on this blog are from his state. He has a good platform. I heard Rudy on Sean Hannity the other day saying he don’t want fights with fellow republicans. And that is a good point. I think we should be trying to get votes from the dems and not run the attacks on each other if possible. The negatives should be aimed at Hillary and the pinkos

I think this is a huge feather in Mitt’s hat. Obviously with Mitt’s previous history of being liberal on social issues the backing of Judge Bork will presuade many who were on the fence about Mitt’s conversion to strict constructionism.
I have questions about the sincerity of all these endorsements recently for Mitt. Just when Huck’s star begins to rise NR, Bork & Michael Novak all endorse Mitt just in time for Iowa. Again it seems non-evangelical Republicans and Wall Street Cosnervatives are crapping thier pants over another govenor from Hope, AR.

Well, I guess this mean we are going to have a Mormon President, then. Unless of course, Judge Bork’s massive popularity doesn’t translate into votes.
