The other best friend
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
GOP blogs are all abuzz about U.S. Rep. John Linder taking back his presidential campaign endorsement of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and handing it to former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Peachpundit.com, which posted the Georgia GOP congressman’s press statement last week, has garnered scores of comments about the endorsement switch.
Some accused Linder of flip-flopping his endorsement because of Huckabee’s climb to front-runner status. Linder defenders said politicians switch endorsements all the time.
One critic called Linder’s switch “a hypocritical and unprincipled move.”
Another asked, “Will Linder endorse Hillary this time next year?”
Still another person said, “There is nothing wrong with Linder switching support unless he is doing it just to be on the winning team.”
The comments are interesting to read, but Linder’s reversal seems unlikely to have any lasting consequences. That is, unless Romney gets elected.
