Clint Eastwood endorses Mitt Romney in presidential race | World news | guardian.co.uk

Oscar-winning actor and director Clint Eastwood has endorsed Mitt Romney in the race for the White House. The Dirty Harry star endorsed the Republican presidential candidate on 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.
