Hugh Hewitt reports that Colorado Gov. Bill Owens - once a favorite future potential candidate among conservative Republicans - has endorsed Mitt Romney in the '08 presidential race.
Also in Romney news, the campaign estimates he must raise at least $100 million to be among the "serious contenders" for the presidency in 2008, reports the AP.
On Thursday, Romney announced his first group of national finance co-chairs: Christopher Collins of First Atlantic Capital, LLC, of Massachusetts; Mark Guzzetta of Gemstone Development of Florida; Jon Huntsman Sr. of the Huntsman Corporation of Utah; John Miller of the National Beef Packing Company, LLC, of Missouri; John Rakolta Jr. of Walbridge Aldinger of Michigan; Mel Sembler of the Sembler Company of Florida; Tom Tellefsen of Tellefsen Investments of California; Ted Welch of Ted Welch Investments of Tennessee, and; Meg Whitman of
eBay of California.
On Friday, the Romney camp also announced that former Colorado Gov. Bill Owens and U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., will join Romney's roster of senior advisers.
