Here’s a crazy thought: Could or should Mike Huckabee consider endorsing Romney?

With the news of John McCain winning in Florida, and Rudy Guilliani set to possibly endorse McCain, conservatives should be very concerned. In fact, it may be time for drastic measures for the greater good.

Mike Huckabee might want to realistically think about what’s best for social conservatives.

This is going to sound crazy, but I think the time has come for Mike to seriously consider dropping out of the race and endorsing Mitt Romney.

While that sounds highly improbable, given the fact that the two have had some pretty intense battles dating back to Iowa, Huckabee needs to realize that Romney is the next best thing for social conservatives.

Let’s face it, John McCain will not support traditional marriage and he says he will not protect federal funds from going toward the destruction of human embryos. McCain has even said in the past that he is not in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade. This is a BIG problem for conservatives. We are a party that respects life, and a party that stands for family values and we are now in jeopardy of getting a presidential candidate who is weak on both vital areas!

(This says nothing of the fact that McCain is not a proven fiscal conservative, is against enforcing the letter of the law with illegal immigration, and he has authored terrible bills like McCain Feingold which violates our First Amendment rights as Americans!)

Mitt Romney has said he will support a constitutional amendment protecting marriage between one man and one woman. Romney has also said he will continue the Bush administration’s policy of denying federal funds to embryonic stem cell research and that he supports overturning Roe v. Wade.

Hmm… Now let me think here. When it comes down to Mitt Romney and John McCain the choice is very clear. Traditional Americans have got to get behind Mitt Romney.

Now don’t get me wrong, I like Mike Huckabee, and I have from the beginning. And he has an outside shot still considering he is doing very well in the polls in Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri, Georgia, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and even Texas.

I believe Mike Huckabee has two options, and a third improbable one.

First he could throw his support behind Mitt Romney right now in order to assure social conservatives we get a candidate who pledges that he is pro-life, pro-family, and pro-marriage.

Second, he could wait until the convention and then throw his support and possibly his delegates Romney’s way.

Third, he can hang on and hope for a highly improbable outcome that would lead to him getting the nomination or lead to a brokered convention.

This is of course assuming Huckabee doesn’t endorse McCain which would be a travesty.

I’m just laying out the options because I’m getting concerned. I want to be able to vote on election day and I’m afraid that if we get a candidate who is not in support of the social issues that define our nation’s character there will be many conservatives who do not participate in the electoral process this next November. Either that or throw their votes at a third party candidate. I wouldn’t blame them either.
