Rhode Island's John Chafee warned fellow Republican moderates to "get hustling" for Romney. "Now," said Chafee, "is the time to speak up."

It's a psychological problem. No proud kid wants to go and hear: 'You're Scotty Reston's son.' " But the kids don't seem to be intimidated by their fathers' reputations.
