Limbaugh Endorsing Mitt Romney (Unofficially)

First, Rush Limbaugh is not officially supporting any primary candidate. But it's pretty clear that he is de facto supporting Romney. On today's program, Rush read a clip from a Romney interview this weekend. During the interview, Romney said,

"You've got people like Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham and the list goes on and on and on -- Hugh Hewitt, Lars Larson -- conservative voices, both from radio and from publications, are saying, 'you know what, we've got to get behind Mitt Romney... We really can't afford John McCain as the nominee of our party."

Rush did not dispute or comment on Romney's interpretation of this de facto endorsement, even if Limbaugh doesn't want to go out and make it official.

*Update*
The endorsement isn't all that subtle. He also made it a point to mention that Mitt Romney is the only candidate that is capable of pulling off all "three legs" of the conservative movement - security, economic and values voters.
