Paul Weyrich, founder of the Free Congress Foundation and co-founder of the Moral Majority, says he just saw an email from James Dobson in which Dobson "denies ferociously that he has decided to endorse Huckabee. He said it was made up. He has no idea who came up with this, but he is trying to stop it.”

Weyrich reiterated that Dobson's denial was "in ferocious terms." He would not say to whom Dobson's e-mail was addressed and said he no longer had the email, so could not read it off. Weyrich, founder of the Free Congress Foundation and co-founder of the Moral Majority, endorsed Romney this week. But he is certainly in the circle of people who could have seen such an email.

*** UPDATE *** Tom Minnery, senior vice president of Dobson's organization, Focus on the Family, says he was the source of the email sent to the American Spectator's Web site, saying there was not going to be an endorsement. Minnery read his email: "There is absolutely no truth to your blog report that Dr. Dobson is about to endorse Governor Huckabee. Dr. Dobson is not close to endorsing anyone in the '08 presidential primary. I expect you to make a correction."
