James Dobson, founder of the Christian right organization Focus on the Family, has endorsed Rick Santorum, the campaign announced Thursday:

Rick Santorum said: “I am truly honored to receive Dr. Dobson’s endorsement today. Dr. Dobson has been a light for conservative movement, an unwavering leader in the face of forces both within and outside our Party to call a truce on the foundational principles that make our nation the greatest in the history of the world, but he knows that calling a truce is nothing more than surrendering. I commit to never surrender our principles, our foundational values, and the moral enterprise that is America. I am excited to work with Dr. Dobson in the weeks to come as we build upon our momentum generated from our Iowa Caucus win.”

Note that the Santorum camp is now officially referring to Iowa as a win for the campaign, not a ‘tie’ as it was called this morning.
