Sharron Angle, the Tea Party sweetheart who narrowly lost her 2010 bid to unseat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada has come out for Rick Santorum. On Thursday, the Santorum campaign issued a statement from Angle heaping praise on their candidate:

“Rick Santorum and I have known each other for years. He is a strong fiscal and social conservative who stands on principles above politics. He has never wavered in his support for family values understanding the impact that strong families have on a prosperous economy. His continuous opposition to Amnesty, Obamacare, the bail-outs, and cap and trade are a perfect fit with our main street Tea Party movement.”
