And I guess Fred is a flipper too....
Did Fred also say "We really can't afford John McCain as the nominee of our party"? If not, then the situations are not analogous.
It is NORMAL to endorse the GOP candidate....
Of course it is. That's not the point here.
The point is that ol' Flip says things he doesn't mean to get elected.
If he really felt that the GOP "can't afford John McCain as the nominee", then he'd be pushing for a brokered convention, or backing Huckabee, or refusing to endorse anybody.
But by throwing his delegates to McCain just ten days after denouncing him, he's showing that he didn't believe his earlier words. They were just empty campaign rhetoric.
Flip will say anything he thinks you want to hear. He did it in his Senate run, he did it when he ran for Governor, and he did it while running for President.

As JR says, “It’s NOT his fault. The liberals made him do it. ®”
