Race to be Endorsed

Now as many of the Romneybots would be happy to tell Rudy doesn't have nearly the same amount of congressional endorsements as Romney or even McCain. The Hill is currently keeping a tally, here. As of now Mitt Romney has 27, Sen. John McCain has 25, and our man Giuliani has only 11. This can be attributed to two reasons, 1) Rudy's relatively late start and 2) His beyond the beltway status with little to no congressional relationships. Still as my teachers always say, it is "quality not quantity". Talking a close look at Rudy's endorsements should comfort both libertarians and conservatives, since almost all of them have high scores on the Republican Liberty Caucus's Liberty Index. This is especially true for Rudy's most recent endorsement by Ed Royce, who is one of the biggest champions in the House for libertarian ideals. (Eric Dondero has more on Ed Royce, here)

LiberGraph Classifications
Libertarians advocate the maximum amount of Personal and Economic Liberty, consistent with the defense of individual rights. Fiscally conservative yet socially tolerant, libertarians favor lower taxes, free trade, individual rights and limited government.

Enterprisers advocate a moderate amount of Personal and Economic Liberty, with "good" government programs. Enterprises usually support free markets and usually oppose restrictions on individual civil liberties.

Centrists advocate compromise on all issues of Personal and Economic Liberty, prefering to avoid any partisan or principled positions. Centrists tend to support any "middle-of-the-road" position between the "left-right" and "liberty-tyranny" political spectrums.

Conservatives advocate a large amount of Economic Liberty, but favor a large government role in social issues. Conservatives usually support free markets, private enterprise, strong police powers and cultural norms in social behavior.
