"GQ caught up with Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King on his decision not to endorse, moments before his friend Michele Bachmann suspended her presidential campaign.\n\n GQ: What do you make of what you saw last night?\n\nSteve King: What I saw was two people that won last night. Mitt Romney won the vote count and Rick Santorum won the expectations count. The momentum's clearly with Santorum but the expectation in New Hampshire is with Mitt Romney. So if Santorum has a good showing in New Hampshire, and he can run a hard campaign in South Carolina\u2014he's got three weeks to get that racked up. I think Newt Gingrich goes to New Hampshire and turns this thing up pretty hard but if I'm Mitt Romney, I'm going to dump all I can into South Carolina starting this morning. It's going to be a really interesting and fascinating race.\n\nGQ: Do you regret not making a decision to endorse?\n\n\n\nSteve King: The decision that I made not to endorse came from not having a conviction, and really to look people in the eye and ask them to follow your lead without a conviction would have been dishonest. And so I think it was the right decision because I lacked a conviction.\u00C2\u00A0I can look back on this in 5 months or 6 months and tell you what would have been the right thing to do, but an endorsement without a conviction wouldn't have been the right thing.\n\nGQ: Have you had a chance to talk to your friend Michele [Bachmann]?\n\nSteve King: No, in fact, I'm just preparing to place a call out there and see how things are going.\n\nGQ: Do you have any advice for her?\n\n\n\n Steve King: If I do, I'll give it to her."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
