In what may be the final face-off in the Ticket's Romney tepid endorsement playoffs, we're pitting former President George W. Bush against three-time champion Mitch Daniels for the title. Bush, asked for his position on the election by ABC News after a speech in Washington, D.C. Tuesday, merely stated that "I'm for Mitt Romney." In a poetic touch, he said so just as the door of the elevator he was riding closed. The former president has been conspicuously absent from the GOP nomination process, and his brother Jeb was less than effusive in his statement of support for Romney two months ago. (Jeb Bush, a former Florida governor, lost in the first round of the original tepid endorsement bracket to Tex. Rep. Lamar Smith.) While his statement today was not as backhanded as original champion George Pataki's or current titlist Mitch Daniels, we're counting his overall lack of praise for Romney to date as its own sort of tepidity.
