According to two “evangelical” Iowa pastors, Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum are being pressured to collaborate: one should bow out and endorse the other.
“Otherwise, like-minded people will be divided and water down their impact,” said Rev. Cary Gordon, a Sioux City minister. He said he asked Santorum several weeks ago to consider exiting the race but has since endorsed the former Pennsylvania senator, who is rising in polls.
Rev. Albert Calloway, a retired pastor from Indianola, said he asked Bachmann, a Minnesota congresswoman, several days ago to consider quitting the race.
Collectively, the two have about 20% support, according to CNN polling. This report came before Kent Sorenson, the former chair of Bachmann’s Iowa campaign, threw his support behind Ron Paul.
The Iowa caucuses are next week.
