Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Huckabee to get evangelical leader's nod

(Yahoo News) - James Dobson, one of the nation's most prominent evangelical Christian leaders, is about to endorse former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, The Associated Press has learned.

Dobson, founder of Colorado Springs, Colo.-based Focus on the Family, talked to the GOP presidential hopeful Thursday and later was to release a statement explaining his choice, said Gary Schneeberger, a spokesman for Dobson.

Huckabee had long sought Dobson's endorsement, believing he is the best fit to advance Dobson's conservative, moral worldview.

Dobson exposed himself as a theocratic oligarch during the battle over the Supreme Court nominees. He and Huckabee are peas in a pod. This is no surprise.

It's odd that Dobson is endorsing Huckabee now. If Dobson truly wanted to help Huckabee, he should have endorsed him before the SC primary. It's too little, too late...
