George H.W. Bush to Endorse McCain

ABC News

Former President George H.W. Bush will endorse Sen. John McCain for president on Monday in Houston, Texas, sources tell ABC News.

The endorsement from the former president is expected to increase pressure on former Ark. Gov. Mike Huckabee to end his bid for the GOP nomination.

While McCain is comfortably ahead of Huckabee in the race for delegates, Huckabee's presence in the race and ability to score a large chunk of the vote among social conservatives has weakened McCain's standing by fueling stories about conservative dissatisfaction with the senator who has bucked party orthodoxy in the past on issues like immigration, President Bush's tax cuts, and campaign finance regulation.
