This week, Romney officially endorsed the Republican nominee John McCain. Romney had been withholding his support from any candidate until Mike Huckabee dropped out of the race last week and McCain got the party's nomination and the president's support. According the US News & World Report, Romney and his wife, Ann, will be receiving the Beckett Fund Canterbury Medal recognizing the public figure or figures who promote religious freedom. The two will likely accept their award in May, joining past recipients such as Holocaust survivor and Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel.

Romney to the day
In the recent news, Josh Romney, Sen. Romney's son says that he will not be running for re-election in congress, but will instead take time with his family. Josh Romney had been kicking the idea or running around for a while now, but has decided against doing so. Thursday Romney officially gave his support to John McCain, his previous rival in the presidential race, but no word on how they are getting along. Mitt's son had said in the past that there was a chance of Romney rejoining the presidential race as Mitt Romney had only suspended has campaign. Josh has said "That it is unlikely, but possible." Romney suspended his campaign some time ago in order to "create unity within the Republican Party" (and possibly to save money on Romney's part.) There is no telling what would happen if Romney were to rejoin the race, and if the animosity between him and McCain would stir up again.
