Key Huckabee Supporters Jump on the Rick Santorum Ship in Iowa

Rick Santorum appears to be peaking at just the right time in Iowa. He now has the support of key Mike Huckabee supporters from 2008. That will help with his get out the vote operation for Tuesday night’s caucuses. Remember, Huckabee won the Iowa Caucuses four years ago:

RICK SANTORUM.COM: Republican Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum announced today that his campaign has received the endorsement of Alex and Brett Harris, co-founders of Huck’s Army.

Alex Harris said: “Now is not the time for voters to settle for second or third best, not when we have a candidate like Rick Santorum. Rick is the strongest, most consistent conservative in the race. He is without question the best choice for evangelicals and social conservatives. Rick’s record and experience qualify him to lead on the most pressing issues facing our country, because he’s already done it. Whether it’s welfare reform, Iranian sanctions, or partial-birth abortion, Rick has not only been on the right side of the issues, he’s been leading the charge to get the job done.”

Brett Harris said: “Rick Santorum has the same dark horse potential that fueled Mike Huckabee’s surprise finish in 2008. You won’t hear much about him from the mainstream media, but on the ground in Iowa he’s connecting with voters and building momentum at just the right time. Conservatives of every stripe are beginning to realize Rick Santorum is their guy. He is rock solid on the economy, on foreign policy, and on faith and family. Rather than settling for the next ‘so-so’ candidate, Iowans are poised to deliver another dark horse to the national stage.”

Rick Santorum said: “I am excited to receive Alex and Brett’s endorsement today. They have been true grassroots champions for Governor Huckabee and the conservative causes we believe in. We need a strong conservative who will stand up for those principles of faith, family, and freedom that make America great, and I am committed to doing just that. I am looking forward to working with Alex and Brett to continue this fight and stand up against the dangerous agenda of the Obama Administration.” . . . .
