A well-placed Republican source tells Townhall that
Oscar-winning director and actor Clint Eastwood will travel to Tampa,
Florida to attend Mitt Romney's nominating convention this week. As the
news media scrambles to identify the so-called "mystery speaker" scheduled to address GOP delegates on Thursday evening, some have speculated
that the iconic Hollywood figure could fit the bill. Our source -- who
spoke on the condition of anonymity -- could not confirm if Eastwood
is, in fact, the intriguing "to-be-announced" speaker, but stated
unequivocally that the Dirty Harry star will arrive in Florida
late on Wednesday or early on Thursday, and will return to southern
California on Friday. Eastwood endorsed Romney earlier this month and backed Sen. John McCain's presidential bid in 2008. He also attracted political buzz when he cut a controversial Super Bowl ad
for Chrysler earlier this year, which some viewed as a tacit message in
favor of President Obama. If he is the RNC mystery man, Eastwood would
address Republican delegates just prior to Sen. Marco Rubio's
introduction of Romney in primetime on Thursday night.
