It is the people who will decide ultimately. If you want a candidate who has a plan to secure the border WITHOUT amnesty, believe in massive tax reform with the Fair Tax, believe in energy independence for the security of the country, 100 % prolife and more executive experience than anyone running…vote Mike Huckabee.

The latest polls have Huckabee down only 4% in Wisconsin.

hey huck ill endorse you=====YOU ARE THE BEST==IF NOT FOR SHAWN HANNITY AND O REILLY AND FOX NEWS YOU WOULD BE NOMINEE==STAY AWAY FROM THEM

I am so tired of the media and the GOP telling us who we have to vote for. You don’t decide this for us any more than the British monarchy decided our future. We will fight all the way to the convention, if necessary. If the majority wins, fine. If McCain gets his 1191, fine. Until then, we fight on. Give us a win, Wisconsin and Texas. You don’t have to swallow everything the establishment tells you! Make a statement and back the only conservative left in this race.

Last time I checked, this was still a government “Of the people, For the people and By the people” Well, the people are speaking loudly and clearly…we want Mike Huckabee to be the next President of the United States of America. And I, personally, do not understand why, when the “conservative” media continues to complain about McCain’s liberalism, why they have such a hard time realizing the perfect candidate is right in front of their noses!

Mike Huckabee has more governing experience than any of the other candidates. he has the most engaging personality, he has beat the Clinton machine in Arkansas time and time again, he can outdebate Obama, the youth love him and he, very realistiaclly, could be the next President…wake up people…it’s not all done til 1191…it ain’t over ’til it’s brokered…catchy quotes and oh, so true!

Go Mike Huckabee!!! I’ve asked hundreds of people in WISCONSIN who they are voting for. I finally found my FIRST person who will be voting for McCain. ALL the rest are voting for Huckabee. He is a leader of the people, by the people and FOR the people. You can NOT accuse Governor Huckabee of being a Washington insider, now can you!!!! Huckabee WILL pull this out in a brokered convention. There’s no way the REAL people (delegates) from states like South Carolina and the like are going to really vote for John McCain after the first round!

Go Huckabee! Keep on Rolling!

I believe Texians are smart enough and independent enough to figure out who to vote for without the aristocracy telling them. Like many Americans, it just rubs me the wrong way to have the “elite” telling me who’s the best candidate. Huckabee’s giving us a chance to be heard. That’s the true American spirit!

I live in North Carolina. Our primary is not until May. I totally resent the GOP and the Main Stream Media (including FOX) calling an end to this nomination process before I even have a chance to vote. It’s totally unAmerican. It’s saying to those who haven’t voted “Your vote does not count”.

My vote will count, or the Republican Party will be losing a lifelong member. This is one disillusioned Republican. And an angry one. And I don’t think I am alone in these sentiments.

FOX News at one time was almost the only cable channel that I turned to for News. Now, I almost NEVER listen to FOX News.

Thank you, Mike Huckabee, for staying in the race so that I have a choice in voting. I choose Mike Huckabee.

Jane Hall
North Carolina.

John McCain has two consituencies that have handed him a huge lead 1) States that won’t vote Repubican this fall no matter what and 2) career estalishent Republicans.

Of the twelve primaries he has won so far, only four came from states that voted for Bush in 2004. And of those four, he barely won three of them. The rest are from blue states.

All but two of McCain’s wins came from winner-take-all states.

All of Huckabee’s wins come from Republican country.

So, is he ready to go against Obama, who is firing up people in … North Dakota?

Trainwreck coming.

Gov. Huckabee, you don’t need the big names!

Maybe some people pay attention to them, so it’s nice to have them if you can get them…

But I did my own research on you and I’m proud to be a supporter of Mike Huckabee, a solid conservative with a solid record.

If you’re reading this comment and haven’t been to http://www.mikehuckabee.com , maybe you owe it to yourself to see why a candidate can earn so much loyalty from his supporters that he can win multiple states without endorsements, without money, without positive media coverage.

He has run his campaign “on a shoestring”… wouldn’t it be great if he could help us run the government that way?

BTW Mike, Nice Tan!

Hmmmmm…..McCain has 846 delegates and Huckabee has 243. Yeah they’re speaking loud and clear all right but I think you might be ignoring what they’re saying. LOL

Gov. Huckabee doesn’t need big name endorsements. Last I heard, the PEOPLE decided who the President was going to be — not the politicians! We love you,Huck!!!!!!!!!!

Aren’t we the people supposed to be the ones doing the endorsing in the voting booth? The GOP and so-called conservative media hasn’t given us much of a chance this year. Let us decide who we want to vote for! Give us the right to choose. I have already voted for Mike Huckabee and I think the people of Texas deserve the same right to pick the President they want!

The incredible shrinking Huckabee. It’s a good thing Huckabee is not looking for establishment support since he is hurting his reputation by the hour with the Party faithful. I didn’t vote for John McCain, but its time for Republicans to focus on winning in November. By the way Mr. Huckabee, I am not the establishment, but even I can see you are not acting in the best interest of the Republican Party. Your motivation is different than you say. A Romney vendetta? You want more delegates than him? You took a cheap shot at Romney on H&C last week after the McCain endoresment, and in doing so you looked very small. Mike, this is not about you anymore, and its not about Romney. Like it or not its about McCain and the Republican party winning in November. Your explanation for staying in seems to be a bald faced lie.

I heard that Huckabee called Mitt Romney after he suspended his campaign and asked Gov Romney for his endorsement. Why did Huckabee call Gov Romney is he doesn’t need “big name” endorsements?????
Also, Huckabee needs to be more respectful of former President George H. Bush. The words he used “he is a big name in Texas, he’s a big name everywhere” are not respectful. Instead of using “he” , former presidents do have a title of respect here in this country. Thank you.

I have a great idea if we are just going to listen to who all the “big” names endorse. Instead of the people voting, lets just make the establishment a bunch of superdelegates, and have them vote on it. It would be much simpliar and use less money, and then we could fight the fight against the democrats from the get go!

I’d just like to say this, the “citizens” of the United States of America have the absolute right to pick who they want as “their” President, and “NO” other way period!!!!! Mike Huckabee has the absolute right as well as an American citizen, and may I add, a Governer of a state of the United States, to stay in the race until the American citizens tell him it’s over!!! Get the point!!!

Scott919,
Correction, some of the people from large, delegate heavy states have spoken. There are many who haven’t voted yet and they deserve to have their voices heard.

I live in IL so I’ve exercisezed my Constitutional Right as an American to Vote. I’d hate to think that after the turmoil of the Woman’s Sufferage and the Civil Rights Riots (of the 1960’s) and all the dirty back room dealings that America has seen in the early 20th Cen., that the GOP would even SUGGEST that we give up what was so bravely fought for. What irks me the most is, Gov Mike Huckabee is following the rules layed down by the GOP!. To so blantently say that Mr. Huckabee should quit his campaign, to suggest that half of American should just “get in line” and follow the GOP’s program is taking this county back 100 years. (Get in line smacks communism) Ronald Reagan’s name has been brought up alot recently. It’s not hard to imagine what his opinion of this farce would be. Re:1976. Until, McCain has the ‘magic number’, this race is far from over.

I Applaud Gov Huckabee and God’s Speed in your effort to make each and every Americans voice count. I can see our Founding Fathers giving you a hight five!!!

Message to the GOP–you’d better stop. take a deep breath.. and Listen.

A Republican debate was scheduled to take place on February 28th, 2008. It was to be sponsored by the Ohio Republican Party. This debate has since been mysteriously cancelled. A rush to judgment has ensued following the Super Tuesday elections on February 5th in which more than 21 states held primaries or caucuses. Sen. John McCain gained an enormous advantage and squeezed out Gov. Mitt Romney. Gov. Mike Huckabee was left standing as the Party’s only other viable candidate.

We believe:
1) Sen. McCain should earn the respect of the Republican base by debating Mike Huckabee in one or more formal Lincoln-Douglas style debates.
2) that failure to publicly engage Gov. Huckabee in debate before March 4th should be considered a gross attempt to grab the nomination without properly demonstrating a viable candidacy.

Thus, we hereby petition Sen. McCain to accept an invitation to debate Mike Huckabee with all due haste and prove or disprove his worthiness.

To Sign this petition go to:

http://www.petitiononline.com/jkb1961/petition.html

Let the people vote and have their say. Mike stands for important issues that many of us want voiced, so Mike staying in the race isn’t all about him. He is speaking up for many of us.

If and when McCain gets enough delegates, there will be plenty of time for the party to rally around him. If it comes down to a brokered convention, the Republicans have a history of doing well winning the general election in those years.

We believe in the value of competition, so let it play out until it is officially over. Competition is a good thing for sports, business, and other areas, why not in politics? Why not for the Republican party?

Mike Huckabee will be elected by the people. “Big Name” endorsements don’t mean a whole lot to Mike Huckabee as he will be serving the people of this great nation when he is in office, not the “big names”.

Many are willing to disenfranchise thousands of voters in Ohio by clamoring for Gov. Mike Huckabee to exit the presidential race. Senator McCain has not won 1,192 delegates. Voters have a choice between a proven leader, and a Senate maverick. Please vote on March 4 for the only viable conservative candidate runnning, who doesn’t need “big names” to assure us that he is, indeed, conservative.

In Arkansas, Governor Huckabee tackled issues like welfare reform, health care, and education. He pushed through the first major tax cuts in state history. He turned a 200 million dollar deficit into an 850 million dollar surplus. He is actively pro-life and defends traditional marriage. Time Magazine recognized him as one of five best Governors in America. He has the credentials to be our next president. It’s up to us, we the people, to see that he gets a fair playing field to take his message of hope to voters. As a voter it is our responsibility to become informed on all the candidates. Check out Gov. Huckabee’s issues at http://www.mikehuckabee.com.

If the truth comes out about Senator McCain’s past, he will have to withdraw from the Presidential race. Stay with it.

The spoiled son of military privilege got a free ride throughout his military career despite repeated instances of sex scandals and screw-ups
By Ted Sampley
U.S. Veteran Dispatch
January 27, 2008
John Sidney McCain III entered the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland in 1954. Young McCain wanted to become an admiral. He planned to be the “first son and grandson of four star admirals” to achieve such a distinction. But that was not to be. McCain III possessed none of the innate character and discipline traits that helped mold his father and grandfather into great military leaders.

His father, John S. “Junior” McCain, and grandfather, John S. McCain, Sr., were famous four-star Admirals in the U.S. Navy. His father commanded U.S. forces in Europe before becoming commander of American forces fighting in Vietnam. His grandfather commanded naval aviation at the Battle of Okinawa in 1945. Both men became highly influential in U.S. Navy operations.

At the Academy, aside being known as a “rowdy, raunchy, underachiever” who resented authority, Midshipman McCain became infamous as a leader among his fellow midshipmen for organizing “off-Yard activities” and hard drinking parties. Robert Timberg wrote in his book, The Nightingale’s Song, that “being on liberty with John McCain was like being in a train wreck.”

McCain’s grades were “marginal.” He drew so many demerits for breaking curfew and other discipline issues that he graduated fifth from the bottom of the class of 1958. Despite his low “class standing,” and no doubt because of the influence of his family of famous Admirals, McCain was leap-frogged ahead of more qualified applicants and granted a coveted slot to be trained as a navy pilot.

Good Party Animal - Bad Pilot:

He spent the next two and a half years as a “naval aviator in training” at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida and Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in Texas, flying A-1 Skyraiders.

While a pilot trainee, McCain continued to party hard. He drove a Corvette and dated an exotic dancer named “Marie the Flame of Florida.” Timberg wrote that McCain “learned to fly at Pensacola, though his performance was below par, at best good enough to get by. He liked flying, but didn’t love it.”

McCain Lost Five Military Aircraft

McCain, the “below par” pilot, eventually lost 5 military aircraft, the first during a training flight in 1958 when he plunged into Corpus Christi Bay while trying to land. The Navy ignored the crash and graduated McCain in 1960.

While deployed in the Mediterranean, the hard partying McCain lost a second aircraft. Timberg described the crash: “Flying too low over the Iberian Peninsula, he took out some power lines which led to a spate of newspaper stories in which he was predictably identified as the son of an admiral.”

Unscathed, McCain returned to Pensacola Station where he was promoted to flight instructor for Naval Air Station Meridian in Mississippi. The airfield at Meridian, McCain Field, was named in honor of McCain’s grandfather.

In 1964 McCain became involved with Carol Shepp, a model from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he had met at Annapolis. They were married in Philadelphia on July 3, 1965.

Flight instructor McCain lost a third aircraft while flying a Navy trainer solo to Philadelphia for an Army-Navy football game. Timberg wrote that McCain radioed, “I’ve got a flameout” before ejecting at one thousand feet. McCain parachuted onto a beach moments before his plane slammed into a clump of trees.

The Navy dismissed the crash as “unavoidable” and assigned McCain to the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal in December 1966, which was patrolling the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. In Spring 1967, the Forrestal was assigned to join the Operation Rolling Thunder bombing campaign against North Vietnam.

McCain lost his fourth plane on board the Forrestal on July 29, 1967 when a rocket inadvertently slammed into his bomb laden jet. McCain escaped, but the explosions that followed killed 134 sailors. McCain was transferred from the badly damaged Forrestal to the USS Oriskany. Shortly afterwards, on Oct. 26, 1967, he was shot down and captured by the Vietnamese.

Post-POW Years: Political Ambition and a New, Young, Rich Wife

Upon his release from North Vietnam and return to the United States in 1973, McCain reunited with his wife, Carol, who had been permanently crippled in a car accident while he was a POW.

Still yearning to become an admiral, McCain enrolled in the National War College at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C. and underwent physical therapy in order to fly again. The Navy excused his permanent disabilities and reinstated him to flight status, effectively positioning him for promotion.

Timberg described McCain’s advancement: “in the fall of 1974, McCain was transferred to Jacksonville as the executive officer of Replacement Air Group 174, the long-sought flying billet at last a reality. A few months later, he assumed command of the RAG, which trained pilots and crews for carrier deployments. The assignment was controversial, some calling it favoritism, a sop to the famous son of a famous father and grandfather, since he had not first commanded a squadron, the usual career path.”

While Executive Officer and later as Squadron Commander McCain used his authority to arrange frequent flights that allowed him to carouse with subordinates and “engage in extra-marital affairs.”

This was a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice rules against adultery and fraternization with subordinates. But, as with all his other past behaviors, McCain was never penalized; instead he always got away with his transgressions.

Timberg wrote, “Off duty, usually on routine cross-country flights to Yuma and El Centro, John started carousing and running around with women. To make matters worse, some of the women with whom he was linked by rumor were subordinates . . . At the time the rumors were so widespread that, true or not, they became part of McCain’s persona, impossible not to take note of.”

In early 1977, Admiral Jim Holloway, Chief of Naval Operations promoted McCain to captain and transferred him from his command position “to Washington as the number-two man in the Navy’s Senate liaison office. McCain was promptly given total control of the office. It wasn’t long before the “fun loving and irreverent” McCain had turned the liaison office into a “late-afternoon gathering spot where senators and staffers, usually from the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, would drop in for a drink and the chance to unwind.”

In 1979, while attending a military reception in Hawaii, McCain met and fell in love with Cindy Lou Hensley, 17 years his junior, who was the daughter of James W. Hensley, a wealthy Anheuser-Busch distributor from Phoenix, Arizona. McCain filed for and obtained an uncontested divorce from his wife in Florida on April 2, 1980 and promptly married Cindy on May 17, 1980.

He resigned from the Navy in 1981 and went to work for his father-in-law in Phoenix; where he used the opportunity to make powerful and wealthy friends in Arizona including banker Charles Keating and Duke Tully, the editor-in-chief of the Arizona Republic. Keating was later convicted of fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy and Tully was disgraced for concocting a phony military record of combat in Korea and Vietnam including medals for heroism.

McCain ran for Arizona’s First Congressional District in 1982. McCain won the congressional seat. In 1987 McCain was elected to the Senate.

George W. Bush and those who did not protest when he rubber stamped all those massive spending bills has destroyed the GOP. The GOP elite blames Huckabee for not quitting so that the party can unify. You people are the problem, not Huckabee. Get a spine or shut up and get out of the way.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MIKE HUCKABEE

Many would question whether Mike Huckabee is a true conservative; I would question whether he is even a true CHRISTIAN! For an ex-Baptist preacher, the man sure has a potty mouth! “You want to come tell us what to do with the flag, we’d tell them what to do with the pole”, said Mike Huckabee on January 17, 2008, in the lead up to the South Carolina primary on the issue of the Confederate flag. http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Huckabee

Mike Huckabee says he is for family values despite the risqué music/song lyrics used by Huckabee and his band, Capitol Offense. Imagine the pastor of your church singing H*y Tonk Woman or Devil With a Blue Dress (song lyrics would be offensive to most conservatives). http://www.irdial.com/blogdial/?p=909

Huckabee raised a son who stoned and hung a dog to death. David was fired as a Boy Scout’s counselor for disobeying the “Be Kind” scout’s creed . Daddy Huck hindered the police investigation of David for animal cruelty. This should bring pause to anyone thinking of voting for Huckabee. Family animal cruelty issues often times indicate other problems as well. http://www.newsweek.com/id/78241

Mike Huckabee does not appear to have good judgment. He pressured the Arkansas Parole Board to free a convicted rapist, Wayne Dumond — who then moved to Missouri and raped and killed two more women. Worse yet, he lies to this day about it, denying he had a role. Huckabee’s former lawyer — referred to reporters by Huckabee’s own campaign, to support his story — actually said that the governor called Dumond’s sentence “outlandish” and “way out of line”, and that Huckabee pushed for Dumond’s release. Huckabee refuses to release the documents from his office concerning the case. A former aide has said that Huckabee’s staff discussed how to make sure that documents about the case, especially the letters from other Dumond victims, could be kept secret. When he left the governor’s office, Huckabee spent the entire governor’s emergency budget - set aside for hurricanes, tornadoes and the like — destroying the hard drives of 100 computers in the governor’s office. http://www.realchange.org/huckabee.htm

Huckabee commuted or pardoned over 669 prisoners, including 12 murderers — 10 times as many as Bill Clinton did over 9 years, and more than all of the larger states surrounding Arkansas put together — as long as they claimed to be born-again Christians, or worked at the governor’s mansion, or played in the prison band. http://www.realchange.org/huckabee.htm

Huckabee could never win in a general election. Imagine his Confederate flag flap being played over and over in the Dem’s TV ads. And he wants to amend the Constitution to his religious agenda. This would alienate many moderates and independents. Americans don’t want to be ruled by an extreme religious leader. Huckabee underperformed in every state that didn’t have a strong base of evangelicals, even loosing to Ron Paul in five of those states.

Keep in mind Huckabee may be an ex-preacher but ACTIONS ALWAYS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS! Please do your homework if you’re thinking of voting for this smooth talking snake oil salesman!

ALERT: Posters on the Fox boards have fraudulently used my name to make anti-Romney and anti-Mormon comments. These comments are made by Huckabee supporters, NOT ME, because they resent my support of Romney and my sharing of the inconvenient facts about their candidate. Thus please know any hateful or bigoted comments in my name were NOT MADE BY ME.

I read the piece and then watched the video. I couldn’t believe the difference! In your piece you said he was “blunt” and spoke “sharply”. I was expecting and angry, scowling typical politician, but video shows him smiling and speaking calmly and pleasantly with a reporter. What kind or writer are you???

If Huckabee had had half the money and name recognition of McCain this race would have been a whole lot different.

“It’s a good thing Huckabee is not looking for establishment support since he is hurting his reputation by the hour with the Party faithful. I didn’t vote for John McCain, but its time for Republicans to focus on winning in November. By the way Mr. Huckabee, I am not the establishment, but even I can see you are not acting in the best interest of the Republican Party.”

I am Republican, but I am not FIRST a Republican! The political party is supposed to be the vehicle to get to the goal, NOT THE GOAL ITSELF!! So, this Republican could care less about “the good of the Party” when the Party so obviously could care less about the GOOD OF THE COUNTRY!!! When did it get to be about the Party, anyway? That’s what got us into the mess we’re in now. Both parties are more worried about retaining power than they are about the nation retaining its power and integrity. I have had enough! I will no longer be a good little elephant lined up in lockstep with those that haven’t seen the inside of a WalMart in decades!! I have four children to support on my husband’s teacher salary. There are three of us in college. Mike Huckabee understands what we go through when we have to put off the car payment to put food on the table and the lights on! You know why? BECAUSE HE’S BEEN THERE! So, John McCain, is not and most likely never will be, my candidate. I don’t trust him to be any different than his friends on the other side of that aisle. Sure, he won’t pull us out of Iraq summarily, but he may make things even worse!

So, those of you that want to be little Republican automatons, go right ahead. Good men and women have died for your right to throw away your freedoms. I will not be joining you. We will send a message to Washington, DC. To borrow from Dr. Seuss,” We are here, We Are Here, WE ARE HERE!!!!!”

John McCain will get beat in the fall. He has thumbed his nose at the conservatives and now wants them to be a team player. He never cared before. Oh ya now he needs us. He does not support Wade being over turned. As far as I’m concerned it really doesn’t matter who we vote for. I personally don’t buy he will be any better in protecting our country than any other of the candidates. An independant party sounds bettter all the time. I agree with another blogger that FOX News has done a disservice to Mike Huckabee. I question how fair and balanced Fox really is.

Correction, some of the people from large, delegate heavy states have spoken. There are many who haven’t voted yet and they deserve to have their voices heard.<<<

I never said they didn’t. I have no problem with Huck staying in the race. It’s his right to do so. Go for it. I was just responding to the person that said “the people have spoken and they want Huckabee”. I was simply pointing out that the delegate count doesn’t seem to support that opinion.

Nobody has said that Mike Huckabee has to leave. People have simply been saying that the longer he stays in the race the more it hurts the chances of beating Hillary or Obama in the general election. Thus for that reason they ask Huckabee to step down.

Secondly, Romney did not get beaten or forced from the race. He had much more of a chance of winning than Mike Huckabee due to the organization he had, the fact that he had more delegates, more votes, etc. and the fact that he was a lot better financed. Any notion of Mike Huckabee being a stronger candidate than Mitt Romney is utter nonsense. The amount of time that a candidate chooses to stay in the race does not necessarily reflect the strength of the candidate. Consider Ron Paul for example or Mike Gravel on the Democrat side.

Lastly, the people have spoken. Look at the votes cast for John McCain vs. Mike Huckabee. No, I am not referring to delegates. I’m referring to the vote count totals from all the states. John McCain has definitely received the most votes (and coincidentally Mitt Romney was a pretty strong second until he dropped out) and so any comments that the people haven’t spoken are ridiculous. Consider also that around 30 states have voted.

Look, I don’t like McCain but I do think that Huckabee is only increasing the chances of having Hillary or Obama in office through his sticking in. I also think that he is a pretty weak candidate that pretty well only appealed to evangelicals and carries little appeal outside of area’s with high evangelical concentration. Look at the states he has done well in vs. the other states he hasn’t done well in.

Big Woop Dee Doo,
Bush 41 endorses McCain, the robots of the GOP establishment are out, and some how that is supposed to impress those of us who are solid conservatives?? Not gonna happen!!! Out with the GOP bums who have illustrated their lack of brains, intellectual honesty, and conviction by endorsing John McCain. Throw the bums out I say!!! McCain keeps bringing up his service during the Vietnam war, has anyone bothered to tell him that the war is over? Although there are lessons to be learned from the past, he would need to know how to govern now!!!
Does any McCain backer who’s in congress actually have the guts to take the average American one on one in the reasons why McCain should not be elected? As far as I’m concerned McCain might as well be Hillary as he has plaid the whole inevitability game. If you examine his whole campaign the key them can be boiled down to this…You will make me president because I was in a war, and I was a POW, and then I came back home, and then I became a Senator(basically doing nothing that really helps our country), and because of all that I really don’t need to be 100% correct on the Human Life issue and the other core conservative issues. check out http://www.veteransagainstmccain.org

Well, I guess the news media has already decided who the Republican candidate will be.
CNN canceled the upcoming Feb. 28th Republican Debate. Apparently they feel the republicans vote in the next few primaries are not needed.
Many feel the debate needs to be aired & we are signing a petition. Remember any of the delegates that does not belong to McCain are free to vote the way they want at the convention. McCain can still be beat.

You’ll find the petition @
http://www.petitiononline.com/jkb1961/petition.html

Thanks for the video. Gov. Huckabee is my candidate. He’s the candidate of all the “overlooked” population. I’m a teacher, a mother, a grandmother - I’m an American citizen - and I’d like to thank Gov. Huckabee for reminding the media, and the “big” names that my vote should count.

Great job, Gov. Huckabee!!!!! I am so sick of endorsements. I don’t care who endorses any candidate. I, like most everyone else, will continue to vote for the person they want…not who someone else tells them to vote for. It is ridiculous.

btw…mighty dapper in that tux, Huck!

Scott919 - sad you think that 43% of the delagates don’t count.

Chris George - How are the voters in Texas, Ohio, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Washington, Pennsylvannia, Indiana, Vermont, New Mexico, Kentucky, South Dakota, Oregon, Idaho, Nebraska, Mississippi, and Rhode Island who would like a say in the nomination hurting the Republican Party? How are Congressman Paul or Governor Huckabee providing alternatives hurting the party? I believe it is hurting the party to have it’s leaders and the media DICTATE who can or should finish their campaign for the republican nomination. If you are a voter in one of these states, do you want your voice to be silenced?

You know, I keep seeing the statement “The longer Mike Huckabee stays in the race the more it hurts the chances of beating Hillary or Obama in the general election.”

What does that have to do with the general election? The democrats are getting most of the press right now. Only the democrats are having debates now, (more press).

We need to keep two viable candidates running because frankly, the Republican party is getting pretty boring. Besides that this race is not over yet. Debates are the best way to see the candidates position on the issues. All McCain saying right now is the same old
Washington politics. I agree with his stance on Iraq but that will not beat the democrats. America is in big trouble & we can not afford to have the democrats represent our country’s interests. Frankly I don’t care which party goes where, all I want is an American in office that will fight for what America needs not what the party needs.

That is not what I said at all. Lisa wrote that “the people are speaking loud and clear that we want Mike Huckabee” and I made the point that if that was the truth he would be the one leading in the delegate count. That is pretty clear evidence that the majority of Republicans support McCain and not Huckabee. I made no statement about the remaining races being irrelevant and I challenge you to find where I said that. Don’t put words into my mouth. BTW…the remaining delegates count for 30.06% of the total including Unpledged RNC.

“Endorsements? We no need no stinking endorsements.” - Mike Huckabee.

Sorry I couldn’t resist. LOL

as my personal opinion, huck should get out. The numbers are against him, even if he wins a few states there is no way he could get out. Execpt a miracle occurs.

Perhaps the miracle is not having huck as the nominee, perhaps it is not his time. Mitt have terrific organizational skills and money(which is not a bad thing). No i am not implying that money = votes.

mcCain/Romney 08

Keep on fighting Governor Huckabee!

Time magazine named him in being of the top 5 Governors in America for a reason!

Because Mike Huckabee has done the best job in a government position!

The vote for Romney was the vote for Mccain, we get that now! We all see that Huckabee was the true, honest and real choice for our party.

We are going to win this because Governor Huckabee is a fighter and he WILL NOT GIVE UP! We wouldn’t want a leader who would just give up, besides they are all backing Mccain now.

Go Governor Huckabee!!!!!!!!!

being honored by” time” magazine is as worst as the new york times. (nothing to be proud of.)

Getting shot down and captured is the only way a poor pilot can become a hero.

This country needs a media that understands that moral leadership is the most important quality in a Presidential candidate. Only then will decent men like Mike Huckabee get a fair hearing, and the citizens be able to make an informed choice about the kind of leadership needed to lead us out of the wilderness we are now in.

To a previous poster: Mitt Romney was not a stronger candidate than Mike Huckabee. With a very large organization, supportive media, and supportive Republican establishment, Romney still spent $21 per vote, as opposed to $3 per vote that Mike Huckabee spent, with no organization, no media support, and nos establishment support. The reason is that the people of America could see that Huckabee is a fundamentally decent person with successive executive experience and good ideas, while Romney was a person devoid of moral character who never knew who he was and had only platitudes and ads that demeaned others. Huckabee is profoundly great, Romney was far from it.

Hey Huck supports/baptist. I have been researching your church, and as a practicing Catholic I know that our church is founded by the Authority from Christ to do so, the mormon’s also give this as their foundation as Christ visited Joseph Smith. Although I disagree with this, they atleast recognize that the foundation is Authority. This is where the baptist have no stance. They were founded by a gentlemen named John Smyth who left the Church of England and then baptized himself and proclaimed himself as a leader of the church. This was in the 1600’s. Sounds fishy. This is only 200 years before the reported Joseph Smith visitation. It appearts to me that if anyone has questions to answer it would be the Baptist and “Cult” beginnings of their church.

Time for Independent Conservative Party — I have been a Republican since the time I was able to vote — 30+ years. Never voted for a Dem president (or any non-GOP federal, state official period.) Never would have ever thought an Independent party was needed — until now .. I cannot believe how far both the Dems and Reps parties have swung. Super delegates for dems to steal the race, party strong hold delegates in WA and LA to strong-in inside beltway Reps. More like the USSR than the USA — We need a change … I will vote for a President this year, but plan to write in Mike Huckabee. May the Lord continue to bless America and deliver Mike Huckabee as the GOP nominee or launch an Independent party w/Mike (and for those that say Mike isnt a fiscal conservative, need to actually look at the record - not the medias representation of it … Sometimes to hit a homerun you have to reach for the ball, not everything is throw down the middle - its the results that count, not how you use the bat. Go Mike Go … To the End to Win !!!

Candidates should be voted at the primaries by the people and by the delegates at the party convention.

Endorsement by Bush Sr for McCain means little. Bush himself could not even win a second term.

It’s time the GOP delegates start considering Huckabee. McCain won’t be able to carry the “blue states” in the real election in NOV. Those will go to the Demoncrates. And if the Red States voter prefer Huckabee over McCain, then Huckabee would be a better nominee of the GOP.

No point endorsing or nominating of a would-be election loser.

As a citizen of the United States, I would like to get to know more about Sen. McCain. I would like to see a debate between he and Gov. Huckabee. I thought they were suppose to debate on February 28th, what happened?

The current election dynamic illustrates the influence exerted by the media to control our nation. I am disgusted by the media’s corronaton of candidates. Why has McCain been selected as the only conservative choice? I don’t care whether the corporate news networks tell me Huckabee cannot win. How many will join me to vote for the best man, giving no consideration for this media circus? I hope enough of you agree with me to make the difference.

If Abraham Lincoln was in the Republican presidential race now, he too would be getting the cold shoulder from the Republican establishment and the Liberal Media.

Lincoln had guts to abolish the atrocity of slavery back in 1860”’’s and Huckabee has the guts to abolish the atrocity of abortion.

Both men are “true conservatives”. Men who stick their neck out on the line, risk their career so they can help out the human race.

The Republican establishment didnt want Lincoln to win because they would have to give up some of their power hungry greed. The same is true today, they would rather keep their tax loopholes so they can stay wealthy even at the expense of little children being exterminated thru abortion.

Conservatives need to rally around Mike Huckabee, just as the conservatives rallyed around Lincoln in the 1860”’’s. We can not become complacent.

Don””t rely on someone else voting for you because you don””t care about politics. We are talking about Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness in America.

This is your country too!

Vote for Huckabee!

Because of Huckabee, I am excited about voting. I noticed the article said that Huckabee concluded “sharply.” That didn’t sound like Huckabee, so I listened to the video, and just didn’t hear any sharpness. To me it’s just another media misrepresentation. I love it that he has so much “grass roots” support.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT “SHELBY”:

SHELBY SPENDS A GREAT DEAL OF FREE TIME ON THIS BLOG. EVERYTIME SHE SEES THE WORD “HUCKABEE” SHE IMMEDIATELY STARTS LEAVING NEGATIVE POSTS ABOUT HIM. THE REASON SHE DOES THIS IS BECAUSE SHE IS A BITTER MITT ROMNEY SUPPORTER WHO BELIEVES THAT MIKE HUCKABEE HAS ATTACKED HER MORMON FAITH. ALTHOUGH SHE HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY CONFRONTED WITH THE TRUTH ABOUT HER LIES AND DISTORTIONS OF THE TRUTH AND ABOUT THE FACT THAT MIKE HUCKABEE HAS NEVER ATTACKED HER OR HER RELIGION. SHE CONTINUES HER PERSONAL WAR AGAINST MIKE HUCKABEE. I GUESS IT GOES DOWN TO SOMETHING I WAS TOLD WHEN I WAS YOUNG, SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST GOING TO HATE YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. THE TRAGEDY HERE IS THAT SHE HAS MADE IT HER PERSONAL MISSION TO ATTEMPT TO DESTROY GOVERNOR HUCKABEE, A GOOD MAN WHO WISHES HER NO ILL WILL AND HAS NEVER ATTACKED HER. SO ALL BLOGGERS WHEN YOU SEE A POST WITH THE NAME SHELBY JUST PLEASE UNDERSTAND WHERE IT’S COMMING FOR AND JOIN ME IN PRAYING THAT THE GOOD LORD WOULD OPEN HER EYES AND SOFTEN HER HEART.

HAVE YOU EVER READ THE BIBLE? I SUGGEST THAT IS A GREAT PLACE TO START. COMPARE YOUR BELIEFS OR THE BELIEFS OF THE RELIGION YOU ARE WANTING TO CHECK OUT WITH WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. YOU WILL FIND THAT THE BABTIST FAITH LINES UP WITH WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. OF COURSE IF YOU HAVE READ THE BIBLE AND READ THE BABTIST DOCTRINE YOU WOULD KNOW THIS.

Have you heard that FOX picked up the Republican debate. I don’t know any details yet.

There’s already more than 6000 signatures.

I think this subject is huckabee with his lack of endorsements, not religion.

p.s. the bible is what you make of it, there are millions of different views of the bible.

So many good things said- I can’t repeat them all.

Go Huckabee!!

You have my vote in Nebraska in May.

Huckabee 2008!!

YES! It is great to see all the support for Mike, we believe in you Mike!

In looking at how many thoroughly “bought” politicians are backing McCain, I an now even more for Mike.

He is not bought like McCain and his countless cronies. All the better when Mike wins, because he will then only have God and the American people to thank and serve.

You want a special interest free candidate? There is none more baggage free than Mike Huckabee. Vote for Mike and endorse an honest man who really cares and we serve us as nation to the best of his ability.

Vote for Mike Huckabee!

Every endorsement further enrages my feeling that “they” (The Establishment) are trying to make my mind up for me…

Support DEMOCRACY…

Whether you support McCain or not there should still be a debate if nothing else for the sake of reconciliation. North Carolina has not even held their primary yet and they are telling us it’s over? We have no voice? TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION IS GROUNDS FOR REVOLT AS I RECALL…

This whole process has been hijacked from the start.

IT’S NOT OVER IF IT’s BROKERED !!!

It talks about how McCain was instrumental in making legislation to force the peaceful Navajo people off their land to make it accessible for mining by a company called Peabody Mining, so they could steal their coal. Then, he and others in the deal paid to have it suppressed by the media. After I read the first article, I wanted to check it out, so I did a search and came up with Multitudes of reports about this event, and the hardships that it forced on these agrarian people

Huckabee’s the only viable remaining candidate who is not a Washington insider. I, for one, am sick of that anemic do-nothing bunch, and am voting for Governor Huckabee!
