National Review Endorses Romney

Huge, HUGE endorsement for Mitt Romney, from a publication that has often seemed downright hostile to the former Massachusetts governor.

"Unlike some other candidates in the race, Romney is a full-spectrum conservative: a supporter of free-market economics and limited government, moral causes such as the right to life and the preservation of marriage, and a foreign policy based on the national interest," National Review's editors write.

Assessments on Romney's rivals: Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee are too polarizing within the party, John McCain could unify the party but is too moderate, Fred Thompson is conservative enough but has run a boring campaign.

On the religion issue: "For some people, Romney's Mormonism is still a barrier. But we are not electing a pastor."
