After re-reading the sentence about Viguerie’s plans to meet with others to agree on a candidate, it appears to be saying he might back Santorum.
The Perry mention in the sentence lead-in, says Perry HAS money...(as though he didn’t need either money or support).
Really?
?
Another invited guest to this meeting, Gary Bauer, jumped the gun and endorsed Santorum.
I don’t think that could sit well with the others. But I’m just talking off the top of my head.
Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council says that the meeting is not to pick someone to endorse.
“Realistically, I don’t think that there’s any expectation that people are going to come out of the meeting and say that we’ve arrived at a unanimous decision for candidate A or B,” Perkins says. “An endorsement was not the purpose or the expected outcome.”
What will probably happen, he says, is a vigorous discussion about where candidates stand on the issues and perhaps a consensus among the leaders, who could make their own endorsements.”
