Who Will Brownback Endorse?

With Sam Brownback dropping out of the Presidential race today, the question then turns to who he will endorse. Marc Ambinder thinks it will be McCain or Giuliani. I could see Brownback supporting McCain because they have worked together in the Senate for years, however Brownback doesn't necessarily line up on the issues with McCain and Giuliani.

The candidate that is most in line with Brownback on the issues is Mike Huckabee. However, Huckabee and Brownback had a hard fought and sometime nasty fight in the Iowa Straw Poll.

Huckabee was asked last night about getting Brownback's support...

Asked by MSNBC's Tucker Carlson on Thursday if he will seek out Brownback's support, Huckabee said, "I'd love to talk to Sam. ... I don't know of many areas in which we're incompatible. I'd certainly love to have his support and that of his supporters. But that's something the senator will have to decide."

Brownback has taken too many shots at Giuliani, I would have a hard time seeing him endorse Rudy.

McCann and Huckabee make sense. However I question what the endorsement of a third tier candidate means to anyone.

Besides if Brownback endorsed Rudy too ultra conservative heads would blow up.
