Dobson fires harsh criticism at presidential hopeful McCain, makes no mention of Bible Belt favorite

UPDATE: AP is reporting that Dobson is about to endorse Huckabee

UPDATE: Dobson endorsement of Huckabee is confirmed. See NP story.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Despite James Dobson’s anti-McCain stance released publicly shortly before Super Tuesday, the Focus on the Family founder made no mention of Bible Belt favorite Mike Huckabee.

Dobson’s apparent snub did not stop a majority of evangelicals from voting Tuesday for the former Baptist pastor, as their vote helped Huckabee win Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

Most new agencies are reporting today that the evangelical vote was huge for Huckabee, such as in states like Georgia, where 64 percent of Republican voters identified themselves as evangelical Christians, with Huckabee winning 41 percent of such voters.

Dobson, considered by many as a having a strong influence on the Christian community, went so far as to say he would not vote for a president should McCain win the Republican nomination...more

TheBigRuski, I watch the TV and all the MSM says, "Huckabee (with a giggle) has no chance of winning the nomination", follwing that they talk about how a vote for huckabee is a vote for McCain. I think it s clear that a vote for Huckabee was a vote for Huckabee who carried the evangelical south. Many, including myself, have real problems with Romney bullie tactics and McCain childish shots. To me the only gentleman has been Huckabee. Why Dobison, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and others can't concider this man, I don't know. All the talk about him being a Liberal because he raised taxes and gave childrenof illgals tuition breaks if the got "A" s is unreasonable. Maybe its because he is a home town boy with an accent from the south and beleives the Bible is Gods word to Humanity. How could we vote for a man like that!
