Today conservative activist Paul Weyrich endorsed Mitt Romney for president. A friend points out that Weyrich doesn't have, um, the best record of predicting the eventual Republican nominee. In 2000, Weyrich was for Steve Forbes (who now backs this guy). I'm not sure whom Weyrich endorsed in 1996, or if he did endorse anyone in 1996, but in this column Weyrich seems to indicate he didn't care at all for the eventual Republican nominee. In 1988, Weyrich endorsed Jack Kemp, who lost the nomination to George H.W. Bush. And in 1980, Weyrich backed John Connally over Ronald Reagan.
