More endorsements on the way. Anyone else hear that Dobson may be doing a 180?

A 180 would be wise for Dobson, especially given the recent NRTL endorsement. The only other candidate over 2% he could endorse is Huckabee and Huckabee is just way too liberal on other matters.

Maybe he should get some sage advice from Pat Robertson.../s

Isn’t ironic that the “ People “ we right about Fred and Dobson and Robertson would jump on the band wagon now since he got that big endorsement from the National Right to Life Organization this week.

“Anyone else hear that Dobson may be doing a 180?”

The NRTL endorsement may have calmed the waters a little bit and made some of the panicking pro lifers come back down to earth.

I do think that their asserting leadership at this point of the campaign will calm the nerves of the other pro lifers like Dobson.

Weyrichs bizarre outburst sounded like a man that had panicked and leaped too soon, only to see his tribe move on.

The group is not endorsing the Republican presidential candidate -- and cannot under federal tax law.

Funny how this doesn't apply to black churches.

"I’m hearing rumors.

When the National Rifle Association (NRA)endorses Fred (another STRONG rumor) it'll all be over but the sobbing, hair pulling and gnashing of teeth.

By the way, I’ve clicking Fred links all day. It drives up good traffic. Also got a call from the campaign last night. When I finished with the caller, he was calling me a blessed child. :)

I believe I read somewhere that the NRA does not endorse candidates. Is that wrong? Have they endorsed in a Presidential primary before?

Nah, they will endorse Mitt, after all he’s a new member!

You know they have to be impressed that he thought so much of them to join just in time for this campaign.

They will want to encourage him.

(Snicker...)

They have not normally endorsed this early, but even they have been talking about it.

It is an unseal race. Here is a post on the matter:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1902270/posts

Given that Thompson is the only top tier with any background and his relationship with the NA and Heston, it is a foregone conclusion he’s their man.

The Voters.
