More endorsements, but no miracles:
"[Weyrich] called me first of all and initiated the conversation and indicated to me that he felt like I was the one guy that was left that was a true conservative that really believed things that mattered to a lot of conservatives and it involved everything from strong national defense to immigration to tax policy, the life question. There were many different reasons, and, you know, so obviously, this is good news for me. I appreciate it," Huckabee said.
Meanwhile, McCain is making inroads with at least a few top conservatives. Today, he received the endorsements of Gary Bauer and Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling. Also, David Brody of the Brody File has this interview with Ralph Reed, who says he will support McCain if he becomes the nominee:
What can McCain do? First, he should choose a running mate with strong conservative credentials, both on social issues and economic issues. Then he should adopt a conservative platform at the convention, and run a general election campaign that sounds conservative themes on taxes, terrorism, and values. If he does those things, he should be able to unite the party. If not, it will be difficult to rally the grassroots and win a highly competitive, close race in November.
Sounds like a guy asking to be persuaded.
