Ex-VP Quayle To Endorse Romney

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney will pick up a key endorsement Tuesday from former Vice President Dan Quayle. 

Romney, whose seen his numbers in recent polls skid with the emergence of Newt Gingrich, could not have picked a better time to pick up as influential an endorsement as Quayle.  

Quayle, who served as vice president under George H.W. Bush, is expected to announce his endorsement of Romney in Paradise Valley, Ariz. where he has a home. Quayle’s son, Rep. Ben Quayle (R-Ariz.), is a member of the Republican freshman class. 

Romney’s new endorsement comes just days after meeting with Bush senior, though sources have indicated that the meeting was just a “casual get-together,” according to reports.
