Dobson to endorse Huckabee for president
Source: Denver Post / AP

James Dobson, one of the nation's most prominent evangelical Christian leaders, is about to endorse former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, The Associated Press has learned.

Dobson, founder of Colorado Springs, Colo.-based Focus on the Family, talked to the GOP presidential hopeful Thursday and later was to release a statement explaining his choice, said Gary Schneeberger, a spokesman for Dobson.

Huckabee had long sought Dobson's endorsement, believing he is the best fit to advance Dobson's conservative, moral worldview.

Until now, Dobson had never endorsed a GOP presidential hopeful during the primary campaign. But he ruled out front-runner John McCain in a blistering commentary on Super Tuesday, and on Thursday the fight for the GOP nomination narrowed to a two-man race between McCain and Huckabee, who is far behind in the delegate count but pledged to fight on.

Good let Dobson wrap the albatrose Huckabee around his neck. This should be really good.

3. Ha! This is just going to make the Repub race more interesting.
Now the evangs will swing with Huck. The race for the Repub nomination will tighten.

It's fun watching the Republicans fracture...they'll eventually follow the Whigs to the doompit of irrelevance.

12. Limbaugh, et. al.
I'm wondering how Limbaugh and their ilk will spin this. It's my understanding that they have previously panned Huckabee as a nut. But they despise McCain. Will Limbaugh's listener's pick up his flip-flop, or are they so logically handicapped now that they'll believe anything Rusty says.

11. Wow, that's interesting.
Snopes says it's true. Is young Huck a fire starter and a bed wetter as well?

13. Woo Hoo! Go, Mike Go!!
And don't listen to those so-called experts who say you don't have a chance. You need to stay in the primaries until the end, and if you don't get the nomination, you should represent traditional Christian Values by running as an Independent. It's what Jesus would want you to do...
