New Hampshire politician Ken Merrifield, who co-chaired Mitt Romney’s 2008 campaign in Merrimack County, is now supporting Romney’s rival in the presidential race, Texas Governor Rick Perry.

Romney to Huntsman?
Romney to whatzhisname that ripped off Rush’s dog joke?
Romney to Obama?

I dont know, I just want to win in 12.
No brainer.
Look at the polls and pick the next most popular open borders candidate.
Yep.
Says more about Perry than Romney.
Yikes.
One Establishment candidate or another...
