Huckabee Rides a Segway
Davenport, Iowa-After a townhall meeting here in Davenport, an Iowa state senator from the area was patiently waiting for Governor Huckabee at his “Huck-a-Bus”, but what caught my eye, was that he was waiting on a Segway. Apparently, he told me he was known as the Segway candidate when he ran for the senate successfully. It was kind of his thing.The senator asked Huckabee as he approached the bus to take a spin on it. Huck stood there for a few minutes, smiling at it , as if he wanted to but was pondering his daughter’s ( and national field director) words not to. She implored him. Possibly because of the snow and ice on some parts of the parking lot, or perhaps fearing a silly moment that would be captured on video, and broadcasted nationally, with only 2 weeks before Caucus day. Finally, the senator said that Mitt Romney had done it too. The deciding factor apparently. Huckabee stood on the Segway and rode it successfully for about 20 feet through a slick parking lot, smiled, and got back on his bus. done
That’s Cool!
Iowa is an inspiring state as “First in the Nation” in their development of renewable energy resources, technological advances, and the political nomination process. However, the main stream media is helping to draw negative attention to the citizens by highlighting what appears to be a fragmentation of the GOP’s values/faith base by deciding a nominee based upon church affiliation. The secular-progressives want to see the Republican nominee fail regardless, but they want Romney to lose BECAUSE of his faith and they want to see Huckabee win in Iowa BECAUSE of his faith. They want to convince the nation that Iowans have turned away from all of the core elements of GOP strength (fiscal, foreign policy, values) BECAUSE of faith or bigotry aimed at Romney. They have seen the organization, the policies, and support for Romney bring together all the elements that have defeated Democrats so many times in the past and they have identified how to stop him, give Clinton or Obama the win, and make Iowa GOP voters look intolerant all at once.
This upcoming Caucus has two potential outcomes, but the media is just desperate to run the following headline, “Huckabee wins Iowa, evangelical base chooses their own and rejects Romney.” The Democrats will have already crowned their nominee as the next President at this point. I have enjoyed Huckabee’s speeches and funny one-liners, but I realized just recently why the media has grown so feverish about his poll numbers in Iowa. They want McCain to win in New Hampshire, Huckabee in Iowa, Giuliani in Florida, and Mitt in Michigan so that we never coalesce around one solid candidate and lose the general election because we are fighting with ourselves on issues of faith, immigration, and taxes.
I want Iowa to support Mitt Romney, because I believe in his ability to unite all conservatives just as he did during his faith in America speech. Will Iowa prove the media wrong and deal a blow to the growing hatred towards all people of faith? January 3rd will be a very important day for us.

So, he only did it because of peer pressure…because Mitt had already done it.
Was he afraid that his mom would find out?
Huckster is not a leader. He has lots of good one-liners and I could sit around and talk with him all day, but when he was the leader of Arkansas, he drove up taxes, fought for scholarships for adult illegal aliens, pardoned murderers and did what appears to be taking gifts from lobbyists. That sounds like the other governor from Hope (bill clinton).
America can not afford another Arkansas presidency.
