Demonstrating support from across the California GOP spectrum, today the Presidential campaign of Governor Mitt Romney announced two prominent California endorsers, that we’ll call the "book-ends" of the party. On the right end of the shelf, Romney has been endorsed by popular, conservative Congressman Wally Herger (pictured right), who makes his home up in the northern end of the state. On the "other" end of the GOP bookshelf, Romney has earned the endorsement of moderate former Republican Assemblyman Brooks Firestone (pictured left), now a County Supervisor in Santa Barbara County.
An endorsement from Firestone clearly eats into the base of the Giuliani campaign, as most of the California GOP moderates that I know have endorsed or have been leaning towards Rudy’s candidacy.
