(UPDATE) It is official. I contacted one of the persons from the Clinton County Republican Party and he has said Keith Butler has switched his endorsement over to Mike Huckabee. I just need to get official confirmation on this.
(UPDATE) As a commentor said, that Rev. Keith Butler endorsed John McCain months ago. Yet I reported that at the Lincoln Day Dinner he said he "supports Mike Huckabee." Before he said this I had thought he endorsed John McCain. Well, I have been checking out to see if he has switched over to the Huckabee campaign. I can't find anything. I did find this in the Lansing State Journal;
- McCain also in state
Huckabee's appearance in mid-Michigan comes on the same day that McCain campaigns in Jackson.
While McCain canceled an event at MSU, the trips by him and Huckabee illustrate how much more emphasis Republican candidates are placing on Michigan than Democrats. Mitt Romney has campaigned in mid-Michigan twice. [source]
So, here's what I don't get. If he is still endorsing John McCain, why was he at an event with Mike Huckabee and not at the McCain events? If anyone can help me with this, one way or the other, please let me know.
I am still downstate. I will get more details about the Clinton County Lincoln Day Dinner event in East Lansing to y'all later on. But I want to drop in to say a few words. Keith Butler introduced Mike Huckabee, before that he talked about all the talking points I have been talking about here. Keith Butler likes that Mike Huckabee is pro-life, honest, pro-family, tough on immigration, and pro-morals. Before introducing Mike, Keith Butler said, "said that is why I support Mike Huckabee for President."Mike Huckabee made the best possible speech ever. Mike is just full of surprises. I have heard him speak many times, through the power of online video. Each and every speech is just moving. Last nights speech was no exception. I am going to try to get a word for word about the best part of his speech regarding bobsledding. I am sure I have y'all confused. Well don't be. There was a great story about a visit he made to Utah a few years ago and in the end he gave the moral to the story.
See ya back in the UP!
I have been chacking other blogs. One Mom already has her post up about meeting the governor in Owosso.
