Abandon Ship! Abandon Ship! thepage.time.com/2011/12/28/bachmann-iowa-chair-ditches-her-for-paul/ 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul was endorsed today by Iowa State Senator Kent Sorenson (R-Indianola) in a major pivot that promises to give Paul extra momentum in the run-up to the January 3, 2012 Iowa Caucus. In making his endorsement Sen. Sorenson is leaving his post as Iowa chairman for U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign here. The resignation and endorsement take effect immediately. “Congressman Paul is delighted to accept the endorsement of Senator Kent Sorenson, whose blessing and assistance carry a great deal weight in Iowa. The fact that he doesn’t take this decision lightly tells a great deal about the Senator and Ron Paul. This endorsement is a rare find and we hope it pushes us nearer to our goal of a strong top-three finish at the January caucus,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.

Endorsing Bachmann might show you're a nut, but being pro-Paul doesn't help the case for your intelligence either.

It's not like there was a credible option for him to defect to, though.

It's not like there was a credible option for him to defect to, though. If you read the interviews, the key difference between Paul and Bachmann is that Paul has a better chance of winning than Bachmann. So basically he's jumping for no other reason than to suck to the guy who's in the lead of sorts.

I mean he believes in the following: 1. Evolution 2. Climate Change 3. That Obama was born in this country. Now that is shocking coming from a Republican.

I used to think Paul was semi-normal until I learned of the racism thing I really looked into what extreme Libertarianism is about.
I used to think Romney was somewhat reasonable & normal until he waffled from Nice Mod-Right guy to Far-Right Idiot. When he flip-flops, he REALLY FLIP-FLOPS! Want some syrup with those waffles?
