Rick Santorum Endorses President Obama

Romney, Santorum declares, is too risky. I daresay he may be wishing for his own etch-a-sketch before long.
"You win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone who's just going to be a little different than the person in there. If you're going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk with what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate of the future."
I must say it is pretty flabbergasting that once Romney emerges from the bruising and bloodying slog through this nomination process he now confronts, mostly as a consequence of unforced errors on the part of his own campaign, either being saddled with unelectable GOP crazytown (tax cuts for billionaires, endorsement of Ryan's Medicare coupon-privatization scam, Planned Parenthood woman-bashing, the whole nine yards) or being saddled as he strives to tack back in the direction of sanity with a string of "etch-a-sketch moments" cementing the worst Romney unelectable unfavorables, his perceived fecklessness and crass opportunism.
