For anyone else, I’d call it a sign of the apocalypse, but for Pat Robertson, I just ask how much he got for selling his endorsment. There are very few more venal and self serving creatures on this planet.
As to Brownback and McCain, it’s no big. They are both Senators, and far closer on issues than most people recognize. Additionally, I could not see him endorsing Romney, he’s a Mormon from Massachusetts, and Huckabee and he were gunning for the place in the campaign, so he was an unlikely choice.
Of course, I pegged Brownback as the Republican nominee, which goes to show that my powers of prognostication stink.
