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.

Too bad. He would have been great fun in the debates.
Aw shucks. I guess I might as well announce I’m dropping out of the race too.
Problem with your suggestion is that even Santorum can’t take PA.
Gosh, just as he was overtaking Obama. Who will provide the rock music? Comedy relief is already well covered.

You are surprised that his is not a real conservative? He’s an auto bailout guy.

But I wanted ice cream.
Of course he’s an auto bailout guy. He’s from an auto state and has a responsibility to represent his constituency. Are you also surprised when Utah reps are Mormon?
LOL. Oh this is rich. The few McCotter cheerleaders around were claiming he was the most conservative candidate in the race, yet when he drops out he endorses.........Romney.
McCotter is a union tool. Period. Voted for Card Check, supported the auto bailouts and sponsored the $165 billion dollar union pension bailouts. With a record like that, there was no way he was ever going to get any traction.
Yup been awhile.
Current Representatives who are candidates:
Michelle Bachman
Ron Paul
Newt Gingrich (former)
so you are saying that socialism is ok as long as it is for your voters?
poor excuse.
I liked what McCotter had to say as well, as unknown as he is to most people- but it’s certainly unfortunate to find him endorsing Romney on his way out.
“Dang. He was my favorite fringe candidate. Now I’m back to
Jimmy “the Rent Is Too Damn High” McMillan.”
An inspired choice!! I was wondering who to vote for now that the McCotter juggernaut has run into the ditch.
NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked what I saw of Thaddeus McCotter but he just couldn't overcome the prejudice against the name "Thaddeus." People probably thought he was Polish.
In other news: I still haven’t announced if I’m running or not.
he’s been polling 1% like Huntsman forever, it was way past time for him and Huntsman to exit this race
Johnson? who the heck is Johnson?
lol
He's a good alternative for those who think Romney is too conservative, although he has to compete with Huntsman for that segment of the vote.
