Rick Santorum has backtracked from his 2008 endorsement of Mitt Romney by saying he was for “anyone put McCain.” But in this 2008 interview with Laura Ingraham Santorum praised Romney at great length — contradicting some of what he says today.

The Romney campaign press shop has been sending out the 2008 endorsement Rick Santorum gave to Mitt Romney during his first Presidential run.

The Romney campaign did not immediately return a request for comment.

Part of annual science fair. But where are the safety goggles?
Anyone who knows me, knows I love the Romney sons. And anyone who knows I love the Romney sons, knows I love Craig Romney most of all. So imagine my frustration when BuzzFeed's Whitney Jefferson IM'd me about a new Tumblr that immortalized the youngest Romney (and asking if I was behind it).
