Allen gets Club for Growth endorsement
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Club for Growth, the powerful conservative political action committee best known for its anti-tax positions, has endorsed Sen. George Allen's reelection bid. "Senator Allen has been a leader in the fight to cut taxes, limit wasteful spending and open foreign markets for American goods and service," Pat Toomey, President of Club for Growth, said in a statement. The Club for Growth, with its influential GOP fundraising network, has so far endorsed a total of 15 Congressional and Senate candidates running in general elections. The first-term Senator and former Governor of Virginia is locked in an unexpectedly tight race with the Democratic Challenger, former Navy Secretary Jim Webb.
