RedState founder and commentator Erick Erickson endorsed Mitt Romney in the last nomination cycle, however, in a post today he acknowledges he’s lost faith in him for a while now: “I can’t get back on that train and I am frankly stunned so many never got off that train.”

So who does get Erickson’s influential endorsement? He has kind words to say about Bachmann, Perry, and even some about Gingrich. But ultimately he goes with “none of the above.”

The reason? “The moment I endorse any candidate suddenly my opinions on the other candidates have little value because everything is seen through the prism of the endorsement. So I would prefer instead to tell you exactly what I think about each of the candidates, good or bad, and let the chips fall where they may.”
