The right wing religious mafia was to meet this weekend. Could this be a sign that they have made a decision? Will white smoke ascend from a chimney like when the bishops choose a Pope? Bauer was to be one of the attendees.
From Politico.
Social conservative leader Gary Bauer will endorse Rick Santorum for president this weekend, a Santorum campaign source confirmed.
The endorsement, which was first reported by the Washington Post, will come during Santorum's planned visit to South Carolina.
The support from Bauer, a former Family Research Council leader who ran for president in 2000, may help Santorum position himself as the consensus Christian conservative candidate in the GOP field.
Bauer is one of a number of social conservative solons who have conferred in recent days in an attempt to coalesce behind a single Republican White House hopeful.
Maybe a deal is being struck. Perry will become Secretary of the uhh, uhhh Energy department so he can dismantle it. Gingrich will use his powers of diplomacy as Secretary of State. And that will be the peace.
The group could still be in frank discussions. Let's hope it is peaceful and doesn't come down to brooms.
