FRANKFORT, Ky. — Evangelical leader James Dobson rescinded an endorsement in Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race Monday, saying he had made an “embarrassing mistake.” He instead encouraged voters to support Tea Party favorite Rand Paul.

Dobson, a founder of Colorado-based Focus on the Family, had endorsed Secretary of State Trey Grayson based on what he termed “misleading information” from Republican leaders.

“I now know that (Paul) is avidly pro-life,” Dobson said. “He believes that life begins at conception. He opposes earmarking and supports Israel. He identifies with the Tea Party movement and believes in home-schooling. Sounds like my kind of man.”
