This is how Beck was running his game 2 years ago, this was before he started the cycling through of ‘beards’ who were weak and of no serious threat to Romney, people like Bachmann and Santorum.
Beck never played that pretend game with anyone who was truly opposed to, or a threat to Romney, like Palin or Gingrich.
**From mediaite:
Glenn Beck and radio pals Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere rattled down the list of potential Republican nominees for President in 2012 this morning, and they had some bad news for the Tea Party movement: Sarah Palin probably won’t run, Ron Paul is still and long shot, and Mitt Romney, as of now, is the GOP’s best bet.
While Gray and Burguiere are harsh to most of the candidates, Beck spreads the love around. He tells his co-hosts that he likes Palin but doesn’t think she will run, Bobby Jindal but doesn’t think he has the charisma, and Congressman Paul but doesn’t think America is ready for him. Then, at the bottom of the pile, he finds Mitt Romney:
“I have to tell you that Mitt Romney could be the only guy that could win, and I don’t know if he could because I think that Americans are going to be I mean, this country is going to be in deep trouble by 2012, and the next term, if it’s not decided this term, the next term will decide our fate. Then I hope that Americans are ready for an adult and are ready for hard news.”
The actual audio and “context” is worse than the quote, especially when you hear the Palin to Romney transition.

Of course Beck is for Romney it has been a given from the first day, as well as Beck and his mormonism persecution complete.
