Mitt Romney Gets Jimmy Carter’s Endorsement For Republican Candidate

The Hill:

Former President Jimmy Carter had some kind words for two Republicans vying to become president —Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann— but he said nobody is likely to beat President Obama in 2012.

On former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, the former Democratic president said he would like to see Romney win the Republican presidential nomination.

“I’m not taking a position, but I would be very pleased to see him win the Republican nomination,” Carter said on an interview on MSNBC set to air Thursday night.

Carter also said he appreciated that Rep. Bachmann (R-Minn.) worked on Carter’s presidential campaign in 1976. Bachmann has mentioned how she was a Democrat during college but switched parties after because she disagreed with certain foreign and domestic policies of the left.

“I know, and I appreciate that she helped me out!,” Carter said.

Carter expressed confidence that Obama would be reelected.

“I don’t think anybody’s going to beat Obama next year,” Carter said.

    On the other hand, does this mean he won’t be endorsing Obama? Probably not … we’re talking libs here … two-faced libs. So, it makes sense he would endorse another that is two-faced.

    Carter, if he was to run he’d beat Soetoro.

    Dhimmi’s a moron.  Whatever comes out of that fool’s mouth is wrong.

    I was waiting for Carter to weigh in on who I should vote for.

    Jimmah is not as stupid as he pretends to be some days.  He endorses the least electable candidate in hopes that this will give Omoron a softer target for the election.  Of course his opinion is of no value in the real world and no one takes him seriously.  So, he is just yelling at the darkness again.  Has he been tested for Alzheimers lately?
