Santorum switched to becoming a solid/enthusiastic, Romney man in 2008
Yeah when there was only Romney and McCain left. I did too. McCain sucked as Romney did this year. Not a great choice for anyone.
Actually there was still the freerepublic endorsed, social conservative, pro-life candidate, Huckabee, who Santorum could have endorsed.
Instead of the pro-abortion/pro homosexual military, pro-homosexual Scout leaders, creator of Obamacare, liberal from Massachusetts, who it turns out, was a lousier candidate than McCain.
Romney was running against Jimmy Carter's second term, and basically achieved the levels of 2008.
