National Review’s endorsement of Mitt Romney still stands. The field is a little less fluid, maybe a little less unpredictable (maybe), but we’re still endorsing Romney. This was our closer:

More than the other primary candidates, Romney has President Bush’s virtues and avoids his flaws. His moral positions, and his instincts on taxes and foreign policy, are the same. But he is less inclined to federal activism, less tolerant of overspending, better able to defend conservative positions in debate, and more likely to demand performance from his subordinates. A winning combination, by our lights. In this most fluid and unpredictable Republican field, we vote for Mitt Romney.

Obviously, the field is a little thinner now, so don’t mind the Fred Thompson comments, which remain historically true. We endorsed in mid-December as you recall. Here’s the whole thing.
