Just weeks after dropping out of the race for the GOP bid for President, former hopeful Sam Brownback makes the decision to give his support to still hopeful John McCain. With McCain recently falling from polls and spiraling downward, I ask "Is Brownback's support enough to significantly help out the McCain campaign?"
Certainly Brownback's backing of McCain will help him, but really the only state Brownback had real strong support in was Iowa, and we cannot guarantee that even most of Brownback supporters will follow him to McCain. Certainly some of them will as they care only about Brownback, but others may not. Especially with McCain's take on same-sex marriage not being what Brownback supported and why some supporters supported Brownback.
This also comes on the heels of Paul Weyrich, a Moral Majority co-found, giving his backing to Mitt Romney and Pat Robertson, a televangelist, beginning to support Rudy Guiliani. You have to wonder if Brownback's support is even close to what Weyrich and Robertson bring to the campaigns of Romney and Guiliani respectively. Can Brownback's support help McCain compete with Guiliani and Romney? Can Brownback's support bring McCain back to the top of polls? We will have to wait for primaries to see how it really pays off.
