Dr. James Dobson issues the following statement tonight, speaking as a private citizen.
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.
