If I’m not mistaken, Romney was the favored candidate over McCain at the time. So I don’t consider this endorsement as a good reason to discredit Rick. On the other hand, the Specter endorsement was a catastrophic choice that arguably resulted in a lot of bad law.

Don’t be a statist — vote Newt 2012 !!!

Jim Robinson and I endorsed Huckabee over Romney.

But I have since forgiven Santorum for 2008. He’s human.

Btw, when Rick was on Huckabee’s show last month, Huck raked him over the coals about it. “Romney, seriously???” Rick admitted he goofed up big time!!!

Is it so difficult to understand that the context of that endorsement was a “choice” between McCain and Romney? If that’s the best/worst they can throw at Santorum it seems pretty lame. In hind sight, considering what a weak a** general election campaign Snarling John ran, Romney might have been the better choice in a year when anybody the Republicans put up would have had an uphill climb.

Rick Santorum Campaigns With Mitt Romney in 2008

“If you’re a conservative, there really is only one place to go right now. I would even argue farther than that. If you’re a Republican, if you’re a Republican in the broadest sense, there is only one place to go right now, and that’s Mitt Romney.” - Rick Santorum, 2008

The fact is is that Romney will lick all the septic tank caps in any state if that will win their vote. I am no Rick fan but Romney is the wierdest Republican candidate in my lifetime and his desperation to become President is frightening.

I got that call. People wanted to stop McCain. A lot of conservatives endorsed Romney for that reason. He was the best chance to stop McCain.

For the record, I protest voted for Ron Paul that time. I've voting Santorum this time.

FDR supported Al Smith in 1924 and in 1928. In 1932, he took the nomination away from Smith.

In 2008 the world was an entirely different place than it is today....if people don’t recognize that...and act accordingly, we are sunk.
