Boston, MA – Today, Governor Mitt Romney announced that Chuck Denowh will serve as Senior Adviser of the Montana Romney for President team.

If my sources are correct, Sam Brownback will be dropping out of the Presidential horse race today in Kansas. Even though he showed up for a scheduled book signing this morning at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, he dismissed questions from reporters inquiring about his future intentions. Even though he is planning to drop out of the presidential sweepstakes in Kansas today, Senator Sam Brownback still showed up for a scheduled book signing this morning at the Values Voter Summit in Washington. He has scheduled a press conference in Topeka for late this afternoon. Sam Brownback is still planned to speak at the conference today but then will be catching a flight back to Kansas. Now we'll see what unfolds.

The The Brody File has learned that Dr. Don Wilton, Senior Pastor At The First Baptist mega Church Of Spartanburg, South Carolina and former President of the South Carolina Baptist Convention has endorsed Mitt Romney. The Romney campaign will release this on Friday morning but read it here on The Brody File first: Here’s Dr. Wilton’s quote:

“I am proud to stand alongside Governor Romney as he pursues our nation’s highest office. His values are my values - protecting the sanctity of human life, defending marriage and strengthening the family. We need someone in Washington who will stand up for traditional families and Governor Romney is that person,” said Dr. Wilton. “While we may not agree on theology, Governor Romney and I agree that this election is about our country heading in the right direction. Governor Romney is the best candidate to stand for conservative values in Washington.”

The key line above is where he says, “His values are my values”. That’s the money line that some Evangelical leaders seem to be embracing when it comes to Romney.

The Romney campaign has to be doing cartwheels over all these Evangelical endorsements this week. This one in South Carolina is significant because the Mormon factor is more at work down there. Romney is in a dogfight down there. He wasn’t polling terribly well in very Evangelical South Carolina earlier in the year but he has come on quite a bit. An endorsement like this could go a long way.

******As you know, Governor Mitt Romney has emerged as the obvious choice for conservative evangelical voters -- even though we have different theologies, we have identical stances on social issues.

This week, the Family Research Council and the Alliance Defense Fund are hosting a big evangelical conference in Washington, DC. Every Presidential candidate will be speaking and political reporters will be tuned in for the results of the Presidential Straw Poll.

"Evangelicals for Mitt" will be there. Interestingly, we just learned that donors of the Family Research Council can vote in this straw poll, even if not present.

So, I'm asking you to:

1. Go on-line to www.frcaction.org.
2. Once there, click on the large banner that says "Participate in the 2008 American Values Straw Poll."
3. If you are not already a member of FRC Action, you can join by submitting an annual donation of any amount (minimum: $1.00). After joining, you will be taken directly to your on-line straw poll ballot where you can vote for Governor Romney.

Again, this will take just a few clicks and a $1 to send a message. The "religious right" needs to rally behind one, pro-life candidate: Gov. Romney!

Mitt Romney looked comfortable last night at the 6th republican debate that took place in Dearborn, Michigan. From facing off with Rudy about the economy and taxes while he was governor to poking fun with Fred Thompson about his "Law and Order" career appearing at the end. Mitt addressed issues again like health care, taxes, economy, and mentioned he was the most qualified one at the debate when it comes to the economy and business from his past ventures in coorporate America. The debate was aired on MSNBC and lasted two hours. As McCain mentioned that he would take immediate action if a war was needed, others said they would go to congress to get it's approval. When it comes to protecting the United States, McCain was firm in his stance stating that it's the very reason he would take the oath to protect the country from any kind of terrorist activity, securing the borders and making the U.S. a better place for generations to come. One of many applauses arose when Romney made a big statement about supporting a republican canidate that supported the principles of Ronald Reagan with a strong military, economy and family values. On another point, Romney stated that Rudy took the line item veto all the way to the Supreme Court and took it away from the President of the United States while Romney exercized the line item veto 844 times as Governor. All in all, it appeared from the media sources that Fred Thompson's debut was not as glorious as all thought it would while Mitt and Rudy made the high points of the night sparring on taxes, economy and the line item veto.

The Michigan Republican Debate is going to be held in Dearborn MI October 09, 2007. The debate will be airing on CNBC from 4pm until 6pm Eastern Daylight Time.

She is a leader who understands that those elected to public service must act with the highest ethical standards.
