The Republican establishment is beginning to line up for GOP hopeful Mitt Romney.
The latest: Former Attorney General John Ashcroft, who served under George W. Bush from 2001 to 2005, endorsed Romney on Monday, according to The Hill.
“I admire Mitt’s record of fiscal responsibility, lower taxes and defense of traditional values in a politically difficult state for a Republican,” Ashcroft said in a statement, according to The Hill.
“I had the opportunity to work with Mitt Romney on issues of national security during the 2002 Winter Olympics and counted him as a trustworthy, effective ally in the fight against terror while he was governor of Massachusetts. I know that the lives and liberties of the American people will be secure with him as president.”
