I attended a meeting at the State Capitol earlier today with Governor Mike Huckabee, who later spoke at the Together for Life rally organized by Georgia Right To Life. Governor Huckabee, as always, was impressive. In the private meeting, he tied his Arkansas highway spending program back to the family, saying that the relief of traffic congestion gives moms and dads more time with their children. At the rally, he spoke about his willingness to lead on the issue of life.

My candidate, Senator Fred Thompson, officially ended his candidacy this afternoon. From my conversations with the elected officials who were supporting him, they appear to be gravitating toward either Huckabee or Governor Mitt Romney. I am deciding between the two myself.

Governor Romney was my early favorite. I heard him speak several times last year and even flew to Boston with a small group to have lunch with him. He is enormously talented, with a clear understanding of the economic challenges facing our nation. He has mounted the best organized campaign of any Republican, and like Senators Clinton and Obama, is free of federal campaign financing limits. A very compelling case can be made that he is the best choice to lead our party’s ticket in the fall.
