Well, I know that Dobson didn’t endorse anyone because I hoped that he’d endorse Hunter. He didn’t endorse anyone. I don’t think Dobson has as much power as you credit him with (and I listen to Dobson on family trips and like him). If Thompson wanted the evangelical vote he could have spoke in the Iowa churches and homeschooling groups and so forth like Huckabee did. Same goes for Hunter. They all missed the boat and ignored the winning group in Iowa.
He gave a sideways endorsement of Huckabee. But not enough to go down with that sinking ship.
