By Alexham

I can still remember the day after the 1994 midterm elections. It was an unusually sunny day in the Southland, and all seemed right with the world. After all of those years in the wilderness, the Republicans had finally taken control of the House, and soon thereafter, the Senate. We would do things differently, we promised. We were a different kind of political party. Unlike the Democrats, who only care for power for power's sake, we sought power to make a profound difference in the lives of every-day Americans.

"It was my personal error to agree to support Romney's campaign. Until this incident I had never endorsed any person running for any elected office, Democrat or Republican."

He called the endorsement, a "mistake."

So what did Dr. Wilton say that could have given the Romney peeps the idea that Wilton supporter the former governor of Massachusetts bid to become our next President?
