You could substitute any name for Santorum and the whole story would have been repeated. The GOP establishment HAS decided that Romney IS the nominee. The DNC WANTS Romney. The media WANTS Romney. It’s a done deal.
The system has been and is being geared and gamed to make Romney the candidate.
Remember when McCain was challenging Bush for the nomination and all at once he shut up and backed off?
He was probably promised that 2008 was his turn.
In 2008 Romney was not getting out because he had the money to keep going.
All at once he backed out and supported McCain.
He was probably promised the 2012 nod. Not to mention that the GOP knew Obama or Hillary was going to win in 2008. So they probably told Mitt his chances would also be better in 2012 to win.
Once again. too many coincidences here to think this isn’t a set up.
