Breaking: Michele Bachmann campaign co-chairman endorses Ron Paul

...

The turnabout is a major surprise with just six days remaining before Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses. Sorenson, in fact, appeared at a Bachmann event just this afternoon — a stop at the Pizza Ranch in his hometown of Indianola.

Sorenson said little at the event, but appeared with Bachmann and clearly offered indications of support for her candidacy.

Fellow Bachmann campaign co-chairman Brad Zaun told reporters Sorenson had just returned from the dentist, and Sorenson himself said he was saying little because he was still numb and afraid he would drool on himself.

Sorenson has been with the Bachmann campaign for months, traveling by her side throughout Iowa and acting as a surrogate at campaign events and in the press. He is serving his first term in the Iowa Senate in 2011 and previously served one term in the state House.

1. As much as I can't stand Bachman what this guy did was awful. I hope it was for a good

reason. I tell you I would worry about a guy like that changing his mind from the afternoon to the night. He has been with her awhile. What happened all of a sudden? She does have problems keeping people especially higher ups on her staff. That alone should tell you something. He should of given a good reason for changing support.

2. My guess is that he saw a poll this afternoon.

all opportunists.

3. He should of stayed with the idiot. After all he knew in the beginning she didn't have a chance. N

he is flipping to Paul who really doesn't have a chance either. He comes out looking bad all around.

4. Since when has drooling on oneself been an issue for conservatives?

I wonder what the real story is, maybe the check hadn't cleared yet.
