Evangelical heavyweight James Dobson is about to endorse Mike Huckabee. That's according to AP. Dobson is founder of Focus on the Family. Huckabee is a Southern Baptist preacher so this isn't exactly coming from Left Field.
The part of this that interests me is a statement Dobson released Tuesday. He slams John McCain for a litany of conservative no-nos: support of embryonic stem cell research, opposition to federal anti-gay marriage amendment, his temper and use of dirty language.
Dobson said if McCain is the nominee he would not cast a ballot for president for the first time in his life.
And that, my friends, is a taste of what is ahead for McCain as he grows securely into his front runner status. Conservatives don't think he's even close to being one of them. McCain addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference today. CNN reported that he received boos in addition to applause.
Nonetheless, it looks like McCain will be the one taking them to the dance this year. After Romney announced he was quitting, former GOP chairman Ken Mehlman endorsed McCain and urged all Republican members to back him.
