James Dobson's top aides deny a report today that the evangelical leader has decided to endorse former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee for the Republican presidential nomination.
The Huckabee campaign also told WND it will issue a statement saying it is unaware of any such plans by the Focus on the Family founder, widely considered one of the most influential voices among evangelicals.
The American Spectator, however, in an update, says its anonymous sources stand by the report.
In its online "Prowler" column today, the Spectator cited sources "close to Dobson" who "say that within the next 10 days he is coordinating an endorsement plan" with Huckabee.
The Huckabee campaign said while it would welcome Dobson's support, and Huckabee "greatly admires his work," it cannot confirm the rumor, and there are no plans of an imminent announcement.
