Romney To Endorse Huckabee

Wait, that's not right...  No, it's John McCain that Mitt Romney is endorsing.

But given the fervor with which the blogosphere is reacting to the news, you'd have thought it was something a little less expected.  Like endorsing the only other candidate.  Or overtly declining to endorse anyone. 

Of course Romney is endorsing McCain.  He said nearly as much during his CPAC speech, but has given Mac a few days to twist, perhaps (as wouldn't be inappropriate) to chide him for the dishonest, very unstraight-talky "timetable" attack McCain mounted against him.

Anyway, the event is set for 3:30 this afternoon.  A Romney campaign staffer e-mails to say that McCain will attend.

Unless something really interesting happens during the ceremony, I probably won't be back to update, but Allah is showering you with links and video, so that's a good bet if you're looking for highlights.
