Did George Allen endorse Mitt Romney? House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is now on board, endorsing Mitt Romney's (R) presidential bid Tuesday morning, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) did the same Tuesday afternoon. So how about George Allen? The former Virginia governor and current U.S. Senate candidate said last week that he had no plans to endorse Romney, even after former senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) suspended his presidential bid, because he was focused on his own campaign. But on Monday night, Allen finally appeared to take a side. "I hope to be in the U.S. Senate and I hope Mitt Romney is our next president," Allen told a gathering of Arlington Young Republicans, according to an audio clip of the event provided by Democrats. Allen's campaign had not responded to a request for comment as of this posting. Allen faces a June 12 primary but is expected to be the Republican nominee against former governor Timothy M. Kaine in one of the nation's most closely watched Senate races. Democrats are eager to tie Allen to Romney so they can start pushing the former to answer for the positions of the latter, just as Republicans have sought to trip up Kaine, the former Democratic National Committee chairman, using President Obama's positions and statements. Most recently, the Virginia Democratic Party used Allen's pseudo-endorsement Monday night to question where Allen stood on the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Romney has said he wouldn't change the equal-pay legislation but has not made clear whether he supports it philosophically.
