WASHINGTON (CNN) – Florida Gov. Charlie Crist has rolled out a succession of endorsements from national Republicans since announcing his entrance into the 2010 Senate race. Now his Republican primary rival, former Florida House speaker Marco Rubio, has a national endorsement of his own from a conservative heavyweight: Mike Huckabee. The former Arkansas governor will formally endorse Rubio in about two weeks, according to a Florida Republican familiar with the plans. The details of where the endorsement will take place have not been decided.

It would help if more would jump on board. I’ve read this guy doesn’t have much name recognition.

That his name is not Charlie Christ is enough for me to know to like him.

Although I haven’t much use for Taxabee, this is good. Rubio is the conservative in that race, not Crist.

This is good news. Rubio needs all the publicity he can get. Conservative Floridians need to defeat Crist in the primary.

Another plus in my book for Rubio. The Martinez, McCain, and other RINOs can take a hike.

Good job Huck. Now go away and take McCain and Romney with you.

But, but, but, Huckabee is a socialist (s)

It is my understanding that Huckabee and Rubio have been close for some time. Rubio endorsed Huckabee in the FL presidential GOP primary.

Does anybody care about endorsements, really? I guess Oprah probably helped Obama, but beyond that, who cares what Huck says?

Duncan Hunter also endorsed Huckabee.

Huckabee is not a liberal. Reagan raised taxes as Gov of Ca.
Shall we run his name down too ????
