Very few Senators have endorsed Romney.
Jim DeMint has, but I'm not sure anyone wants that endorsement.
Judd Gregg has, but a Romney-Gregg ticket might look too New England.
Orrin Hatch has. But Romney-Hatch would be too Mormon.
Thad Cochran recently endorsed Romney. But he's over 70.
Former Congressman Vin Weber is a huge Romney booster. If Weber is not a Mormon, he might be a really good pick for Romney. He's a neocon on Iraq (a key member of the Project for a New American Century) and he was on most of the right foreign policy and defense committees in congress. Not a lightweight. But he has been out of the spotlight awhile. Still, as has been pointed out, being named running mate pretty much takes care of that problem.
