Freerepublic and Duncan Hunter supported Huckabee over Romney.

Romney was the most liberal candidate of 2008.

“Solid conservative” Santorum supported Romney in 2008, and the radical pro-abortion candidate Arlen Specter in 1996.

Rick Santorum was pro-abortion until 1990, and first ran as a “Progressive Conservative”, and that is what he had printed into his campaign materials and campaigned on, “The Progressive conservative”.

THIS is the campaign that Santorum was supporting in 1996:
“For Specter, who later became a Democrat, his pro-abortion-rights position was a centerpiece of his campaign. Specter believed that anti-abortion activists were a “fringe” group hijacking the Republican party.

“There are clearly more Republicans who are pro-choice,” Specter told Newsday’s Susan Page. “Up until now, I am the only person willing to take on the fringe.” After Specter dropped out of the race, he led an ill-fated movement to change the anti-abortion provision in the Republican party platform.”
