If Fred had endorsed Mitt before SC, Mitt would have won easily.

In SC, Fred's votes plus Mitt's votes was still short of McCain's votes. And an endorsement is no guarantee that all supporters follow that endorsement.

Yeah.. the Mitt supporters called on Fred supporters to vote for Mitt in Michigan, and said they will vote for Fred in SC, that is called bait and switch( just like the Democrats did ), I hope no Fred supporters fall for that lie.
