Mr Santorum had been reluctant to give an endorsement, but he said that
changed after a “clear-the-air” meeting with Mr Romney in
Pittsburgh on Friday. The question of endorsement did not come up, but Mr
Santorum said the conversation was candid and focused on issues.
“During our meeting I felt a deep responsibility to assess Governor
Romney’s commitment to addressing the issues most important to
conservatives, as well his commitment to ensuring our appropriate
representation in a Romney administration,” he said.
“The family and its foundational role in America’s economic success, a
central point of our campaign, was discussed at length. I was impressed with
the governor’s deep understanding of this connection and his commitment to
economic policies that preserve and strengthen families.”
Mr Santorum said he agreed with Mr Romney on “the need for lower taxes,
smaller government, and a reduction in out-of-control spending. We certainly
agree that abortion is wrong and marriage should be between one man and one
woman.”
