DeMint also supported Romney, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they both changed their minds. Maybe they thought Romney was the least of the evils of the remaining candidates.
I was pulling for Myth back then too along with a lot of serious minded Conservatives. Do you remember the even worse piece of garbage he was fighting against?
That is precisely my point. A LOT of conservatives went for Romney back then who would not go for Romney today. Here in Missouri, for example, it came down to Romney, Huckabee, or McCain. My man, Thompson, had dropped out shortly before the primary. So, to stop McCain, I voted for Romney.
That was then, this is now. RomneyCare was not in the spotlight then, it is now. And Romney has defended it, rather than admitting his mistake.
My point is, I don't hold support of Romney *last* time against anyone *this* time.
