So I think what what you're gonna wanna see and the Rick Warren Rick Santorum supporter is before you write that check before you cast and -- -- get behind the Romney train.
I think that what you're gonna want to do is why eight and see if this endorsement is number one sincere and number two authentic.
And what will validate that.
-- -- -- I don't sincere or pathetic and I read that no qualms about that -- been a long needed raise it would be unusual if you were to be effusive silly has to be honest -- my only.
Thing about this is.
Why -- -- at all if you're gonna be that tentative about it -- you're just suspending your campaign to stay in the campaign hoping maybe Romney trips or something I mean -- Who live and stick with.

Number one ES they are but what they are doing and not talk to a couple -- them and let me tell you what I'm hearing out there.
I'm hearing that some of them that -- on the fans are gonna go ahead and and -- for Romney.
But the flip side of that is a lot of people are going to just go ahead and surpass the campaign and go to the super -- like the crossroads would've you know ran -- Karl Rove.
So a lot of people you know -- -- not basically here's the deal people that like Rick Santorum they really liked Rick Santorum.
So what they're going to have to do is and I don't really like Mitt Romney but they had -- -- so it's almost like the bush -- you know what I addressed dale.
It's like -- vote against Obama and vote for Mitt Romney so they're not really enthusiast.

No money email and I finish out on email -- asset if he wholesome -- -- -- If he -- -- mass email to his small donors which Romney is going to need a small -- Mitt Romney cannot win win this race would just bundle Hearst.
It's not a good message to -- and so he's going to name these small donors.
