Mr. huckabee has anyone ever mistaken you for Jim Nabors ? You remind me of Gomer Pyle . Goooollleee . Just kidding you are the best of the bunch. I would like to here more about what you would do for Veterans after you are elected. I suggest a pay raise for all active duty military, And go for Tax free Retirement checks for all retired Veterans . I gave 26 yrs. of my life to this country why do they still want a big chunk of my retirement money . Also Remember Veterans Don't Need Library's . Vets need Hospitals , Nursing Retirement Homes , And cemetary's . Maybe Mr. Bush Will do this for the vets. Of his war..instead of a Bush Library . He has plenty of room on the Bush ranch in Crawford, Tex. I can just imagine a Hospital with a Dick Chenny ward for all the gunshot victims, A Don Rumsfield ward for all the mental case's And a Condie Rice ward for all the brave young women who gave up so much to serve thier country, I salute them all..

After fighting in Vietnam, I thought everything would be peaches and cream, now look! Wonder what the veterans of Iraq and Afganistan are thinking about what their life will be like when they come home, just a thought, Will their be jobs, will the gas prices continue to rise, houses continue to be foreclosed, will it be peaches and cream like I thought, no answers from politicans just talk and talk and everything will be the same as it was when I came home from vietnam.

Mitt Romney is the man we need in 08....

"Greg West", since when has it become an attack to voice your candidates record?
the Huckabee/McCain camps have the Dirty Politics masters so far....

The media is driving the Campaign Vans of McCain and Huckabee, gots to wonder why that is?????

Romney is winning the Republican base. If anyone undecided will take ten minutes to listen to Mitt speak with an open mind they will see that he is brilliant. The dems and media know that Mitt would crush anyone in a one on one debate. Thus the dems and media are still talking up Ron Paul, the Huckster and other losers.

McCain is just another Sr Senator veteran who has no winning ideas like Bob Dole in 1996. Obama/Oprah or the Clintons would have a very big victory against McCain.

Now that the news is out that Rudy is low on money, Mitt is the only candidate that can go the distance and win in November. If the people of Michigan do not wake up and give Mitt a win that would make the dems and the media very happy indeed.

Michigan & South Carolina,

America’s only choice for President is clear. Don’t be suckered in by the elite media’s propaganda. Tens of millions of dollars was donated by Wall Street to purchase the White House in this election. Some candidates are just too old or too liberal to win. Please remember, the rest of the country is waiting and depending on you (Michigan & South Carolina) to give us the opportunity to elect Huckabee and say no to big government that does not work, Wall Street, and the elite media. Those Americans who never had a set at the table, who don’t have the big money or a voice in this election are waiting to cast their vote for Mike Huckabee. Please provide America’s true conservatives the opportunity to vote with you and elect Mike Huckabee President. No more Presidents from Camelot!

This all just more pandering. In fact, none of the candidates as president would be able to do anything to improve Michigan's, or the general US, economy. The factory jobs that are gone are gone, and they won't be coming back. Not only that, now white collar jobs are following them at a furious pace, to China, to India, to wherever. When will the media begin asking real questions in these debates, and when will the candidates begin giving realistic answers? Short answer. Never.

Huck is the biggest joke to get this far in an election since, uh…..thinking……uh……
oops, no one comes to mind.
The guy is making a mockery out of the job of President of the USA!
Get him off the stage!

Jen, maybe George W. Bush??
Just trying to help.

GO OBAMA/EDWARDS-08!!!!!!!

Wanted to say that I was one of the first Internet users to try and lure Fred Thompson into the Presidential race. After his ATTACK toward Mike Huckabee last night, I don't want him to be President at all. He has been lazy and now wants to play dirty politics to gain some support. He's out for me! But, I would consider voting for his wife. Yet I know who would be the best man for the job. MIKE HUCKABEE has my vote.

Fellow polical analysts....please have some class. Quit attacking the wife of the Holy Man. It was cold and rainy in Detroit today, and imagine what it must be like for her to have to listen to that guy all the time. No wonder she looks bummed out.

McCain is planning world war 3. Load those nukes and let em fly. Boom Boom,
mushrooms clouds everywhere.

I guess you know about the connection between at least McCain, Liberman, Giulliani, Huckabee, Gingrich and the Christians United for Israel regarding the plans to start Armageddon and to create the 2nd Coming by getting the USA and Israel to attack Iran with nuclear bombs so everyone can go to Heaven. Only they forget other nations including at least Russia and China have nuclear bombs also. Another mistake is to think that God would trust these type of people to reside in Heaven where they could create other mischief.

Romney is just more of the same Wall Street corporate think that got us in our current mess in the first place. Mike Huckabee represents Main Street values.

Bob from Seattle said: "Is their any better instruction on earth that deals with how a man and woman should conduct marriage?? All marriages should be so blessed. Maybe divorce rate would crumble. "

If that is true, please explain to me why the divorce rate among evangelical christians and baptists are the highest.

Denomination (in order of decreasing divorce rate) % who have been divorced

Non-denominational ** 34%
Baptists 29%
Mainline Protestants 25%
Mormons 24%
Catholics 21%
Lutherans 21%

** Barna uses the term "non-denominational" to refer to Evangelical Christian congregations that are not affiliated with a specific denomination. The vast majority are fundamentalist in their theological beliefs.

Huckabee needs a little dental work too. I think his high taxes ran most dentists out of the state of Arkansas during his tenure! Take a bite out of that one!

It seems to me that anyone who would immediately write someone off as an ignorant bigot simply because that person is a Baptist from the south is... well... an ignorant bigot. Really folks, some of the accusations about Huckabee are just absurd. Do you really believe these things or do you just think pushing slander and lies will help the candidate you support win? I'm not sure I've ever seen a candidate as wrongfully attacked as I've seen people attack Mike Huckabee, which is all the worse since he has run a positive clean campaign. Really what kind of America do you want? Go to mikehuckabee.com and get yourself a dose of truth. Don't believe every lie you here in an attack advertisement or irresponsible media.

Huck went to Motown to play Dixie!

McCain in my opinion does not have the vigor to be president and I would worry about his temprament. He is known as a loose cannon in the Senate. According to McCain we might be in Iraq for 100 years or something like that.

Romney is tanking in the national polls. The race is between McCain, Huckabee, and Guiliani.

you do not understand the word of Jesus as we do. It is wrong to let souls burn in the fires of Hell when we can try to convert them to The Lord Jesus Christ. If that means going to war then we should be fighting tooth and nail to bring Jesus to them and Governor HUckabee will lead us into Jeruselum and eradicate the sinners from the world

I think this joke of a candidate is really looking for a spot on American Idol. Cutesy dimpled grins and quips only go so far in a serious Presidential debate. Many Kudos to Thompson last night for giving the Huckster a few body slams. He definately deserves more in the near future. South Carolinians of sound mind will not vote for Huckabigot, except for the duped factor amongst the hard core Evangelicals. Maybe the rest of the country should pray that they become momentarily raptured into the corners of the polling booths during the elections, so that God will only allow his more intellegent children to vote for the more respectful candidates of this great country.

Many voices from the dark side here. Very sad...

Go Huckabee!

Looks at ol' Huck's face...did someone offer him a cut of chicken fried steak? How could he resist? The drool is almost piling on the ground

Bill Blake is right. Huckleberry's old woman is a real moonface.

Gov. Huckerbee would probably enjoy a better chance, without his wife. She's really a frightening sight! Honestly.

Senator Clinton for President of the United States.
She is the one,
"THAT CAN GET IT DONE"

Huckabee is the real deal. His Motown visit is genuine. Like all youngsters growing up he probably had great dreams regarding music. Many of have. Many other have had great dreams for Major League Baseball, NFL, NBA etc. Just because we can't play or sing worth crap doesn't stop us from being FANS...

If playing great were pre-requisite for attending a shrine, then their would be no fans going to the respect Halls of Fame of anything. Gee, give a 'regular' guy a break.

I sing in the shower and I am absolutely horrible. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to go to Nashville or Motown.

As for subservient wife – what is that garbage. Any complete individual knows that a Christian is instructed that a wife is subservient to the man AND the man is subservient to the wife. The man is instructed to treat his wife with no less love and respect than GOD treats the church. Is their any better instruction on earth that deals with how a man and woman should conduct marriage?? All marriages should be so blessed. Maybe divorce rate would crumble. Or would that be a bad thing for liberals?

Stevie Ray fan- Thanks,I was wondering when someone else would notice that one finger technique!

Huchabee is touring MO Town

McCain is planning world war 3. Load those nukes and let em fly. Boom Boom,
mushrooms clouds everywhere.

Red WIngs? What about the Tigers? Good Grief.

When will you learn the only logical Republican choice is McCain. However I do like Mike Huckabee.

Most of our economy, particularly the stock market, is about one thing and that's the feel good factor! When we feel good we spend, when we spend the perceived value of stock goes up. Perfect example is Google vs. General Motors! How in the hell can Google be worth more then GM!

I hate the two party system because it assumes everything is an XOR choice! It's pleasing to see both Republican and Democratic Oligarchies scramble to try and maintain power.

Carpe Diem! Our time has come to take back America!

Go Obama '08!

I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now I see!

Ryan -

You would rather have someone that tells jokes instead of defining his plan huh?

Huck's nasty comments on Mitts faith and his wackjob staff guy Rollins saying he wants to knock Romney’s teeth out all reminds me way to much of the Jerry Springer show. He also pulled that nice stunt with his add where he questioned Romney's integrity and got it ran for free on FOX, slick WIllie all right....and all the while claiming the higher road and accusing Romney of running a negative campaign when his adds were informational and not personal....talk about transparent hypocrisy.

Then McCain's indignant temper tantrums over his pro-illegal immigrant bill and his third grade comment about Romney being the candidate of change was obnoxious and hypocritical, particularly coming from someone who changes their stances so often it would make John Kerry blush. McCain does not have the temperament or humility to be a great leader Romney does. For instance notice how often Romney mentions the teams he worked with to accomplish things, it is never about him alone, unlike McCain who uses the word I exclusively.

Romney is our last best hope. I think a Romney/Thompson ticket would be unbeatable.

Jenner -
your argument makes about as much sense as voting for Romney, period.

None.

Mitt and Fred 2008, save this great country....

He probaly made his sub-servant wife go to this event. He says the Bible says the man is the boss. I hope she likes Motown. poor lady

Yea for the record...Jesus would probably be a member of the green party def. not a republican...war mongering haha Love thy neighbor as thyself. Well we certainly don't see that out of the party of God and Jesus currently. Moreover, Romney is not a stable enough candidate to lead this nation. Anyone who can think would know he is not suitable for the job as the New Hampshire debates showed, even his own party doesn't like him. Newsweek showed Huckabee playing the bass guitar not too long ago so his visit seems perfectly worthy. Not to mention God doesn't drive politics. Money, Power, and Lies drives politics. Obama in 08 a breath of fresh air to the hellish abyss that is Washington DC.

Poor guy. I felt so bad for him when I saw him play bass for a few previously rehearsed bars with Leno's band. Played with ONE FINGER...sad. He should have just used a pick instead of pretending to be a real bassist. No wonder he dropped out of the music scene. No talent. I played bass for a few years on the road in bar bands trying to make it myself before I gave up and "got a real job". Huckabee isn't anywhere NEAR the level of someone who actually played for a living at ANY point in his life. Pretender is what I'm saying here. Total Pretender.

In his cheezy attempts to be "cool" with the music schtick, revival revolutionary/televangelist wannabe, and sucking up to McCain for protection from that "evil Mormon" Mitt Romney is so sad it's laughable. Oh yeah...I forgot..Hucksters a COMIC as well...gee...all of the above is just what I want in the Oval Office...lol..."pray tell" dear Hucksterbee....just WHAT WERE YOU POSITIONS AGAIN? PLATFORM? Hello? I expect the tap shoes to be dusted off for his next public performance...is it just ME or does this imbicile sadly remind YOU of a circus sideshow as well...an organ grinder's monkey? Dancing bear? He'll let the left's propaganda outlets (french-canadian Vivendi Universal's NBC/ABC group's letterman/leno/colbear/yada yada..) parade him around like some kind of sadly mentally diminished circus freak...hope he has provided the Left with plenty of Chuckles...but, I as a Republican just want to cry, and hide under the bed in shame...omg...who elected THIS clown...oh, yeah...his ...flock. Arkansas...thanks a bunch. Back at you.

pander... It's not pandering!! It is just taking the oppurtunity to get people to think your interested when you really otherwise wouldn't be interested, only to get their approval vote. So... wait, Oh! Yeah it is pandering.

Huckabee must think we are pretty stupid, or is Huckabee just that stupid! I guess that is question like "If a polititian let 1033 CONVICTED FELLONS go scott free, is that showing any respect to the legal process?" Well people here in Iowa must be that stupid because THEY voted for him. It is like watching a herd of lemmings run off a cliff, because the head gopher (Huckabee, he has the teeth to prove it) says so. I think he is the cult leader!

It's not pandering – Huckabee's a musician, a bass player nonetheless. Visiting the Motown studios is a pilgrimage for us. He probably would have gone there whether he was campaigning or not.

Because Michigan and Mike Huckabee are virtually twins from the same womb. This shameless Motown pandering by Huckabee more hollow than Obama's "change" policy. Wolverines will see through this crap.

Huckabee = Appalachian State. Don't fall for this jokester.

Anyone in MI who doesn't vote for Mitt Romney is voting AGAINST an economic ressurection in struggling Michigan. Vote ROMNEY.

That's wonderful Gov. Huckabee. Please bring Jesus Chist to Motown for they are sinners. Please rescue the lands of Jusus's birth from the mongoloid hoards that now occupy them by any means needed! Praise you Governor and praise the Lard Jesus Christ
