Arizona Right to Life PAC Acknowledges Presidential Candidate Huckabee as Strongest Pro-Life Advocate

With Arizona’s presidential primary approaching on Super Tuesday, Feb. 5, the Arizona Right to Life PAC is very pleased to acknowledge former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee as the strongest advocate for our cause among the pro-life candidates. His continued devotion to restoring our nation’s respect and protection for life is evident in both his words and his actions. As the parties work to complete their nomination process and select their respective candidates, the Arizona Right to Life PAC will work diligently in support of the candidate who best represents our ongoing mission to respect life at all its stages.

Good deal. That’s McCain territory.

Arizona polls are all over the place, but McCain leading in all.

Arizona is a winner take all primary; in some of the polls Huckabee is within 5 or 6 points of McCain.

Frankly, Huckabee is probably my least favorite of the Republican candidates, although they all have their problems.

I expected the state groups would branch out now that their national pick is gone.

But what does “acknowledge” mean. Is it really the same as endorsement, or is it meant to communicate less of a clear decision, like they found more candidates acceptable but just think he’s the best?
