Well, not so sure how much that helps, endorsements may be over rated. The Polls have Thompson going down, and Romney, Rudy, and Huckabee going up.

I would rather have Thompson get the endorsement than Huckabee.

...any of that pro-life vote? And if so, why?

I am a Positivist Pastafarian for the alliteration alone.

This pro-lifer supports Mitt Romney. So do lots of other pro-lifers. You can't holler all you want but there's no Thompson stampede. Huckabee, now . . .

They that are with us are more than they that are against us.

I haven't heard Huckabee call for the Congress to limit the Court's jurisdiction by removing abortion issues from its power to review cases. Such a bill could be passed by a simple majority in Congress and signed by the President. It would immediately return the nation's jurisprudence to the state it existed in prior to Roe v. Wade. Many state statute's prohibiting abortion would immediately spring back into effect, the likely consequence of which would be the saving of tens of thousands of lives. I have a hard time believing that a candidate is serious about curtailing abortion, rather than merely using it as a convenient issue, when they haven't endorsed this practical, easy step in the right direction.

“.....women and minorities hardest hit”

I don't see that the endorsements have mattered much.

I'm pro-life but the GWOT is more important to me. Huckabee's big gov. and soft-on-terrorists stances eliminate him as a possibility, in this household. Fred's pro-life endorsements are interesting but I'm more interested in his principles as stated on clueless Rose's show and less in his specific positions. Can any other Republican candidate actually clearly and convincingly articulate his conservative principles?

Rush has been refusing to endorse but it's been rather obvious with whom his sympathies lay. I am starting to think Fred will be the last man standing on our side!

You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.

Fred may talk convincingly about principles, but he still shows up with a remarkably left leaning policy package. His website speaks in vague generalities, but there are clear implications that he wants national government intervention in health care at some level, he has refused to articulate any drastic cuts in spending or the end of useless national government departments like the dept. of education, and he seems to want to continue the wasteful practice of government subsidization of energy solutions that don't work, like ethanol (undoubtedly to pander to farmers).

Talking the good talk doesn't mean much when you still have the leftist's laundry list of big government programs.

Let's not forget that the Wisconsin Right to Life group also endorsed Thompson. Keep up with the score. Fred Thompson is the overall majority leader among the Right to Life groups. I think we need to look as Christians at every issue. I believe abortion and Gay marriage are at the top. So Thompson and Huckabee are both right on those issues, now lets look at immigration, foriegn policy and taxes. Fred Thompson is the only true conservative as Rush say's and he is the only candiate to come out with strong and positive ideas and policy statements.
