Thursday that he is dropping out of the 2012 presidential race.
McCotter, who struggled to gain traction against better-financed rivals and failed to achieve the necessary support to be invited to Republican debates, announced that he would now support former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in the Republican primary.

I'd have posted this in breaking but at less than 1% support I didn't think it was breaking news worthy.
And he endorses Romney. WTH? Supposed real conservatives don't endorse Romney.

Wow, really?
By the way. WHO is McCotter? Never heard of him.

Now all he needs to make it a real horse race is an endorsement from Gary Johnson and Rick Santorum. < / sarcasm >

I like McCotter. Don’t understand him supporting Romney tho. Oh well.
I supported Duncan Hunter too. McCotter has the same problem Hunter had....the people who voted for him and a handful of people on FR are the only people who’ve ever heard of him.

I even forgot he was in the race to begin with?
Who’ll be next to drop out, I wonder?
My thoughts as to order:
1) Johnson
2) Huntsman
3) Santorum
Paul and his loony, poll-spamming supporters will hang on to the bitter end.

Hopefully he’s considering a run for Levin’s seat in the future. (Pete Hoekstra is running against Stabenow)

Who?
I didn’t even know he was running.
He’s down there with Huntsman in the polls apparently.

In my opinion, endorsements don’t mean much to most people.
I was a Hunter supporter through the primaries in 08 and I voted against the guy both he and Palin endorsed in my district’s congressional race.

say Gerald Ford, he was appointed VP and took office
when Nixon resigned but was not elected to either position)
