Being a South Carolina pastor, Southern Baptist Convention President Frank Page says he’s sticking with his plan to not endorse any candidate for president. As Republicans prepare for the GOP primary in his state on Saturday, Page says he’s heard recently from the campaigns of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and Sen. John McCain. Asked about Huckabee, his fellow Southern Baptist, Page said: “I’m not endorsing anyone. I think he’s a wonderful person and I think he will do well in South Carolina, but I will not endorse a candidate.”

Though some candidates’ camps are “frustrated” with his no-endorsement stance, Page said he is trying to keep an “open line” to all candidates.
