Ohio Attorney General: Forget Mitt Romney, I’m supporting Rick Santorum now
Hot Air ^ | February 17, 2012 | Tine Korbe

Rick Santorum will be the third presidential candidate to enjoy the endorsement of Ohio Attorney General and former U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine. The AG, who was the force behind Ohio’s participation in the states’ lawsuit to block Obamacare, initially supported former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. When Pawlenty exited the race, DeWine transferred his support to Mitt Romney, whom Pawlenty also backed. Today, though, DeWine will reassign his endorsement yet again — this time to his former colleague in the Senate, Rick Santorum, according to Associated Press sources.

Haveing the support of Mike DeWine is nothing to write home about. So he changed his mind. He changed his mind constantly in the Senate, always in a liberal direction.

Interesting tidbit. His second counsin Kevin DeWine is an Ohio Superdelegate.

BTW, the list of Superdelegates and Endorsements can be found here. They update this site daily just like the green papers web page

He has won multiple statewide contests in Ohio... and just last week the Romneybots were all saying that no one who served in the Senate with Rick were out there supporting him.

It’s just more evidence that Romney’s scorched earth tactics are burning him.

DeWine saw the polls, saw Santorum up in Ohio and jumped ship.

DeWine is a career, liberal politician. Being a politician trumps his liberalism, so he wants to be on the winning team. DeWine would support Rosanne Barr if she was leading.

Is this the same Dewine, who got voted out of the senate and was a proud member of McCain’s 14 Gangsters?

If so, his endorsement is not worth much. Typical RINO. can’t make his mind up of who to support.

deWine will forever be shamed for his gleeful participation in McCain’s Gang of 14. The backstabbing weasel.

In other words his endorsement is just as good as The Donalds?

The little traitor.. Mikey, the rino. Loves being in a rino gang. Another reminder of why we were upset with the Bush group.

We're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little more now if we can and the rest next quarter.

“Haveing the support of Mike DeWine is nothing to write home about”

When you look in the dictionary under “worthless a$$hole.” up pops a picture of DeWine. When you look up the plural, you find a “family portrait” of DeWine and “dick” Lugar. Just how long are the good folks in Ohio and Indiana going to keep electing these two worthless turds.

Well, Dewine was already thrown out. Don’t care for his replacement but shed no tears that he was gone.

LOL.

Since you mention her ...

I would vote for Roseanne Barr over Barry Soetoro.

Must.... resist.... temptation..... to..... suppport..... Romney.

DeWine is a negative indicator for me. When he tells me the sun rises in the west, I know it rises in the east.

Would we see this same quote if he supported Newt? Doubtful

Wow, you can read minds. You’re wasting your skills here.

Read my mind right now....
