Clint Eastwood endorses Romney's presidential bid



By By STEVE PEOPLES – 6 hours ago

SUN VALLEY, Idaho (AP) — Clint Eastwood just made Mitt Romney's day.

The "Dirty Harry" star and Oscar-winning director of "Unforgiven" and "Million Dollar Baby" endorsed the Republican presidential candidate Friday night during a Sun Valley fundraiser.

"I think the country needs a boost," Eastwood told The Associated Press as he joined other Romney supporters for the private campaign event.

In February, Eastwood told Fox News that he wasn't supporting any politician at that time. Some saw the "halftime in America" ad he made for the Super Bowl as a nod toward President Barack Obama. Eastwood responded then by saying he was not "politically affiliated" with the president.

"Now more than ever do we need Gov. Romney. I'm going to be voting for him," Eastwood told Romney supporters Friday night

Never liked him. Never liked the movies he acted in. Never liked the movies he directed and though it will make no difference to anything, I'll never see another movie that he's connected to.

I thought after the Super Bowl he finally came to his senses, but I guess he's still a right winger.

And unrewarded, since everyone outside America knows that Romney doesn't have a chance in Hell.
