He could choose a candidate, announce he was supporting them, and say that he’s going to try to get some assurances on policy decisions.

In the 08 race, Duncan Hunter was my chosen candidate. When he dropped out he threw his support to the Huckster. I would have voted for Huckabee over McCain if my primary hadn’t already passed. By the time Hunter dropped out, all that was left was McCain, Huckabee, and Paul. He said Huckabee was closest to his own positions and John McCain had broken too mant promises.

I was in the same boat in ‘08 as you. Except that I felt Hunter had no chance of winning, even though he was a good candidate and Conservative.

I also had reservations about Thompson, because to me, he never really seemed like he was serious. That left Huck, who I never really liked but he was volumes better than McNutcase or Romneyscare.

What a menagerie we are about to face once again! Although I admit the candidates this time around have much better appeal than they did in ‘08.

Here again, time will tell.
