This was a surprise. From the Hunter statement:

"I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail," said Hunter. "Of the remaining candidates I feel that he is strongly committed to strengthening national defense, constructing the border fence and meeting the challenge of China's emergence as a military superpower that is taking large portions of America‚s industrial base."

"Along with these issues of national security, border enforcement and protecting the U.S. industrial base, I see another quality of Mike Huckabee's candidacy that compels my endorsement. Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity. I saw that character over the last year of campaigning and was greatly impressed. The other Republican candidates have many strengths and I wish them all well. My personal choice is Mike Huckabee," Hunter concluded.

Hey Hunter.

I want a refund.

You squandered what you had - money and credibility.

[ontap]

Pissant...OH...pissant!

[BreezyDog]

Stop it! Is this from The Onion?

[cripplecreek]

It depends.

[Lurking Libertarian]

This is going to make a few heads explode here on FR!

Watch a few more heads explode when Fred Thompson endorses McCain.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Holy Crap! Pissant among others will not be happy!

As for me, I’m wandering in the wilderness since Fred dropped out.

[jdm]

He should have endorsed FRed.

[a77]

Vote for McCain.

[Prokopton]

Hunters conservative credibility just evaporated.

[STARWISE]

WHAT ???

[Radix]

If Hunter did that then he just relegated himself to almost complete obscurity when it comes to national politics.

I doubt though that he really had a chance for the VP slot.

I am surprised about this.

[RooRoobird20]

So: Hunter’s minutely small number of supporters could throw their support to The Huckster. Yawn...............

[Invincibly Ignorant]

Well that explains alot about Mr. 1%.

[Jeff Head]

Well, I supported Hunter. But I do not support this endorsement. I personally feel that McCain would be the worst on immigration, followed by Huckabee. His record says as much, as did his own mouth to begin with in the debates when defending his Arkansas record of offering in-state tuition to illegal alien children.

Thomspon was my second choce by far. I now will support Romney as I believe he is the nearest thing to conservative on most issues of those left standing.

[socialismisinsidious]

I’m less disappointed that he dropped out now. unbelievable. Is this one of those opposite games? right is left and left is right? except there is NO right!

[jnwest]

I think this one hurt all the FR Hunter fans more than Thompson’s withdrawal hurt us Fredheads. Ouch.

[Rick.Donaldson]

Well... what next? Thompson endorsing Goofball Paul? LOL

[jdm]

WTF is this country coming to? Seriously.
