UPDATE FROM JON FLEISCHMAN:  Today the Romney Campaign will make Huff’s endorsement official.  Here are statements from Romney and Huff:

Upon the announcement, Chairman Huff said, "There is one candidate with the experience and determination to strengthen our economy and promote job growth in California and across the country and that is Governor Mitt Romney.  Throughout his time in the private sector, at the 2002 Winter Olympics and as Governor, he led using fiscally conservative principles, and he will do the same as President.  Governor Romney will bring real conservative change to Washington , and I encourage others to join me in supporting his candidacy."

"Chairman Huff and I both believe that we must keep taxes low, cut wasteful government spending and reverse the current housing crisis facing families in California and throughout the country," said Governor Romney.  "I am optimistic we can keep our economy strong and ensure a prosperous future for our children and grandchildren.  I look forward to working with Chairman Huff to implement my optimistic vision as President."

ORIGINAL POST FROM MIKE SPENCE:

This morning, I sat next to Assemblyman and Caucus Chair Bob Huff at the California ProLife Jan. 22 breakfast. I asked him who he is endorsing for President. He said he was trying to stay out of it, but last night agreed to endorse Mitt Romney.  Huff indicated more legislators were headed Romney’s way.
