FreedomWorks Drops Opposition To Mitt Romney After Months Of Never Really Mounting It In The First Place

In the wake of his Illinois primary win, everything seems to be coming up roses for Mitt Romney. Today he's earned the deemed-by-enough-people-to-be-important-so-whatever-let's-just-say-it-is endorsement of Jeb Bush. Bush's move is widely expected to presage another flood of money and endorsements flowing in Romney's direction.

And in somewhat less exciting news, it seems that FreedomWorks, the organization that worked the hardest to absorb the insurgent Tea Party movement into the sticky mass of the GOP establishment, has decided that it no longer totally hates the former Massachusetts governor.
