Santorum endorses Romney

And in other news:  The sun rose again today in the east and the political landscape remains as amusing as a Looney tunes cartoon. So who exactly was Santorum going to endorse? I mean other than Romney. bitter sweet or not, the only other choice would have been to not endorse anyone. Which would have taken poor rick out of contention for anything in the potentially new Romney administration.  

But first things first people. First you have to defeat Obama before that can happen and I really don't see that happening right now, regardless of what the latest push polls are saying.

(Reuters) - Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum endorsed his one-time fierce rival Mitt Romney on Monday, a move that may help the party's presumptive White House nominee win over religious conservatives.
Santorum said in an unusual late-night statement that the two have differences, but that he came away from a meeting with the ex-Massachusetts governor impressed with Romney's "deep understanding" of economic and family issues central to the campaign.
"Above all else, we both agree that President (Barack) Obama must be defeated. The task will not be easy. It will require all hands on deck if our nominee is to be victorious," Santorum said.
"Governor Romney will be that nominee and he has my endorsement and support to win this the most critical election of our lifetime," he said in the statement, which was emailed to supporters.
