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.
