With Huck out, who's Chuck Norris supporting?

Action star Chuck Norris

WASHINGTON – When Chuck Norris endorsed Mike Huckabee for president in 2008, it resulted in a huge grass-roots cash infusion and a celebrity campaign partner that helped take the former governor of Arkansas right to the Republican convention that ultimately nominated John McCain.

As arguably the No. 1 politically active conservative Republican entertainment star in America (with the possible exception of Donald Trump, if he qualifies), that endorsement remains coveted among GOP presidential candidates.

So where does the Norris endorsement go in 2016 now that Huckabee has left the stage?

Norris and his politically active wife, Gena, this week told WND, the news agency for which he writes an exclusive weekly political column, as well as a weekly health column.

"We are not endorsing anyone at this time, but we will support whoever ends up being the nominee for the Republican Party in the general election," they said in a statement.

They added that they have favorites, some of whom they are convinced would make great presidents, but do not intend to endorse anyone imminently.

"To me, any one of the GOP candidates would make a good president," he wrote on Huckabee's website after the former Fox News star bowed out of the 2016 race. "Some of them could even be great."
