Chuck Norris Endorses Vander Plaats

First, Huck. Now, Chuck. Bob Vander Plaats, the almost-not quite-just about-so close--almost there candidate for the third time candidate for Iowa governor next year announced another endorsement. Wednesday, former prez candidate Mike Huckabee endorsed him. Now, kick butt star Chuck Norris announced Team VP, as well. Norris, you'll remember endorsed Huck's 2008 prez campaign.

Here's part of the release from Vander P:

Norris has taken an increasingly higher profile on issues of national importance since his prominent role in former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Vander Plaats, who served as Huckabee’s Iowa chairman said, “I had an opportunity to get to know Chuck Norris during the 2008 campaign and we’ve remained in touch because we share the same values and public policy goals. He’s committed to defending Americans’ constitutional rights and the principles that made this country so great. I’m honored to have the support of Chuck and Gena Norris. They are great friends and they’re going to play an important role in our winning campaign.”

And, of course, with a Chuck Norris blog posting comes the obligatory tribute video:
