On the “Meet the Candidate” [extended] segment of Bret Baier’s Special Report program - Oct 19, 2011 - (guest Rick Santorum) the panel discussed with Rick Santorum his 2008 endorsement of Mitt Romney. (they showed a clip and then discussed it)
Well of Santorum endorses him this time I guess Romney might pick up 2 votes. Personally I don’t have a big problem with Santorum, he just doesn’t have a chance. If he were my candidate and told me he was endorsing Romney I’d be disappointed, and Romney STILL would not get my vote.
Yes, Netizen, Santorum explained that his choices were Romney, Huckabee and McCain and that he didn’t see Huckabee having a chance and that he had worked with McCain in the Senate, and that Romney was more *conservative* than McCain, in his opinion. Hence, his endorsement of Romney.
Whack McCain.
I suspect Senator Jim DeMint drew the same conclusion. McCain doesn’t have all that many conservative friends in the Senate.
