Duncan Hunter Gives Boost to Huckabee

Today the Huckabee campaign gained a huge boost in credibility among true conservatives with the endorsement of former presidential candidate Duncan Hunter. Get all the details over at CNN:

Hunter: "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."

Duncan Hunter never gained much support during his presidential run, but his endorsement still carries a lot of weight on the national news scene. For the Huckabee campaign this is another big sign of revival, although he still holds a strong second place in national polling.

Perhaps the most ironic factor of this endorsement has to do with Ann Coulter. She has been one of Duncan Hunter's biggest fans. The interesting part is that she has also been one of Huckabee's strongest critics. Obviously this endorsement is turning into an awkward moment for her. But perhaps is may serve as an encouragement for her to reconsider her misinformed disappointed of Huckabee.
