Dobson 'denies ferociously' Huckabee nod

Posted: Friday, November 09, 2007 3:47 PM by Domenico Montanaro
Filed Under: 2008, Huckabee

From National Journal’s Linda Douglass

Paul Weyrich, founder of the Free Congress Foundation and co-founder of the Moral Majority, says he just saw an email from James Dobson in which Dobson "denies ferociously that he has decided to endorse Huckabee. He said it was made up. He has no idea who came up with this, but he is trying to stop it.”

Weyrich reiterated that Dobson's denial was "in ferocious terms." He would not say to whom Dobson's e-mail was addressed and said he no longer had the email, so could not read it off. Weyrich, founder of the Free Congress Foundation and co-founder of the Moral Majority, endorsed Romney this week. But he is certainly in the circle of people who could have seen such an email.

*** UPDATE *** Tom Minnery, senior vice president of Dobson's organization, Focus on the Family, says he was the source of the email sent to the American Spectator's Web site, saying there was not going to be an endorsement. Minnery read his email: "There is absolutely no truth to your blog report that Dr. Dobson is about to endorse Governor Huckabee. Dr. Dobson is not close to endorsing anyone in the '08 presidential primary. I expect you to make a correction."

10. Hey there, blogslut. Always a pleasure to run into you on these boards.
I hope all's well your way.

By god we're less than 2 months before we begin the first round of voting for the next president.

I'm psyched!

11. Nice to see you too!
Yes, it's getting to be that time. It should be one hell of an election season. Needless to say, things are heating up here. ;)

4. I almost feel sorry for Huckabee
Almost.

His own are slamming the door in his face and it's fascinating to watch.

You'd think he could get the endorsement of the fundamentalist "leaders", but alas....

7. You're right. He does seem to be having some problem catching fire.
The numbers are up in some key states, but Huck just isn't the fundie firestorm he might have been.

Kinda puzzlin'.

12. Well the christian right better go with someone that
is everything Rudy is not cause I see the American people finally seeing them as the hypocrites they are. There was no flip flop when Jesus gave his instructions and one cannot support a pro choice candidate and then belittle another pro choice candidate of another party.

I would say this election is going to be a battle between the christian right and the right christians....Plus, we are going to get to see first hand just who the sexist and racist are in this campaign.
