True test of fallout will be 2016 Repub candidate reactions to Romney debacle

They have to realize that any co-signing of his move will be look bad and be remembered in 4 years. Rubio already struck the right tone but no one else has really been asked yet about their reaction to the attacks or Romney's handling to them. If they all go in the opposite direction you know he's out on a limb with nowhere to go. I also imagine you will not see these guys as surrogates defending him on this anywhere over the next week and change.

I really meant true test of initial fallout and how this might play in terms of Republicans running to his defense. So far only the crazies are onboard.
