Romney reportedly got at least pretty good reviews in his Family Research Council address last night (some really good reviews), and he has a fairly big fish endorsement.

Either good news or bad news for Rudy Giuliani — the act right before him is Bill Bennett. That’ll warm up the crowd this morning, but it’s a tough act to follow. He just referred to “not Leonidas of the 300 Spartans, but Petraeus of the 300 million Americans. Point him out to your children. Tell them, ‘there goes a noble man.’ Perhaps one day he will receive the Nobel Peace Prize. One of the advantages of giving David Petraeus the Nobel Peace Prize is that he has actually brought peace.”

A Rudy-ite told me they’re “not competing” in today’s FRC straw poll. I know he means that they are are not attempting to win, but I can’t help but suspect that the results wouldn’t be that different if they did try.
