Focus on the Family founder, Dr. James Dobson, has finally endorsed former Arkansas Governor, Mike Huckabee.  It’s a little late, since the nomination is all but decided and the only question now is who Sen. McCain will choose for his running mate… Here’s the text of his endorsement anyway:

I am endorsing Gov. Mike Huckabee for President of the United States today. My decision comes in the wake of my statement on Super Tuesday that I could not vote for Sen. John McCain, even if he goes on to win the Republican nomination. His record on the institution of the family and other conservative issues makes his candidacy a matter of conscience and concern for me.

That left two pro-family candidates whom I could support, but I was reluctant to choose between them. However, the decision by Gov. Mitt Romney to put his campaign “on hold” changes the political landscape. The remaining candidate for whom I could vote is Gov. Huckabee. His unwavering positions on the social issues, notably the institution of marriage, the importance of faith and the sanctity of human life, resonate deeply with me and with many others. That is why I will support Gov. Huckabee through the remaining primaries, and will vote for him in the general election if he should get the nomination. Obviously, the governor faces an uphill struggle, given the delegates already committed to Sen. McCain. Nevertheless, I believe he is our best remaining choice for President of the United States.

Yawn… He should have done this last year when it might have made a difference…

By the way, Romney clearly stated in interviews last December that he supports embryonic stem cell research and that he would like abortion to be an issue for each state to decide.  Those do not sound like positions Dr. Dobson would find acceptable. 

I don’t know what his dilemma was…
