If you blinked, you missed it. Or you probably missed it because you were fast asleep. Late last night, nearly a month after suspending his own campaign, 13 paragraphs into a 16 paragraph email to his supporters, Rick Santorum finally endorsed Mitt Romney as the inevitable Republican nominee.
Above all else, we both agree that President Obama must be defeated. The task will not be easy. It will require all hands on deck if our nominee is to be victorious. Governor Romney will be that nominee and he has my endorsement and support to win this the most critical election of our lifetime.
It was a long time coming. Seriously. Shot-gun weddings happen at a faster pace than this endorsement, and with more enthusiasm.
One assumes that Santorum includes himself in "all hands on deck." But Santorum didn't promise to do very much, other than continue "praying for [Romney] and his family." Nor did he urge his supporters to do much more.
Does that mean Santorum is going to morph into a Romney campaign surrogate. Does that mean we're likely to see Santorum stumping for Romney on the campaign trail? Probably not. And with good reason.
