James "Focus on the Phallus" Dobson to endorse the Huckster!

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. Mitt Romney, a third hopeful trying to claim the conservative label, dropped out of the race Thursday.

Dobson released a statement Tuesday that criticized McCain for his support of embryonic stem cell research, his opposition to a federal anti-gay marriage amendment and for his temper and use of foul language.

He said if McCain were the nominee, he would not cast a ballot for president for the first time in his life.

Wow.... didn't see that one coming. :eyes:

Anything that makes McCain uncomfortable is cool in my book...

have the appeal to do battle with McCain for their nomination, I'm assuming he's alerting the fundie demographic that they need to at least show up at the polls in the primaries to advance their "cause."

Which would have the effect of forcing McCain to choose one of their kind for the veep nom.

McCain could make it very uncomfortable for the fundies and choose someone completely unaffiliated with any conservative church as his veep. Just to piss them off. They've never given him the time of day anyhow; what does he have to lose?

I believe if McCain chooses a fundie veep, he loses the independent vote edge he theoreticlly enjoys over our ticket now.

Which means he can't win a general with a fundie nutbag on the ticket.

Thanks for the laugh!!!!!!! Great one!!!!
