Santorum endorses one-time rival Romney

Source: AP

WASHINGTON — Rick Santorum is endorsing his one-time bitter rival Mitt Romney in a late-night e-mail to his supporters.

Santorum on Monday urged his supporters to join him in working with the effective Republican nominee to deny President Barack Obama a second term. In his message, Santorum reminded his supporters of areas where he disagreed with Romney during their slog of a primary.

Yet Santorum says that, in his words, "above all else, we both agree that President Obama must be defeated."

During their contest, Santorum bitterly clashed with Romney. At one point, Santorum called Romney the worst Republican in the country to challenge Obama.

If you wanted to send out a tepid, half-hearted, forced endorsement you would send out a staff-written press release to the media after several days and weeks or tut-tutting.

"Politics is weird, and creepy!" Rmoney probably paid off Santorum's debts, so the Ricky could suddenly have a reversal of opinion. You're right Sam.. politics is just fuckin' weird!

Goppers stick with goppers and most of the time Dems stick with Dems.

Nothing new, and the crazed religious people (some) have already succombed to voting for Mittens because he's not Obama.
