And Perry was PRO-Guliani. He endorsed his presidential run in 2008.
Palin endorsed the man who put her on the national stage by making her his running mate. She has a legit excuse. What's Perry's excuse for endorsing a pro-choice, pro-same sex unions supporter of partial birth abortion for president?
I know a lot of people who endorsed him early in 2008 who later either lost interest or decided to move to another candidate. When it became clear that the only way to head off a McCain victory was for Romney to win the California Primary, I voted for Romney in the hopes of trying to push the nomination to the convention floor. Unfortunately Romney lost and McCain grabbed the nomination.
Does that mean I supported every Romney position? No, I didn't support any of them. I just wanted him to win California.
The fact of the matter is that other than Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo, there weren't any serious conservatives running in 2008. This year's line up is one in which everyone is vying to be seen as the most conservative. The only candidate I would not support is Romney.
