If morals and trustworthiness are important to you, Huckabee is the ONLY choice in a typically split-tongued cast of candidates.

Susan, I suggest therapy with a healthy daily dose of zoloft. How have you made it so far in life believing what you believe?

Wow, Huck couldn't even get the good ol' boy vote in SC. Thanks for the memories, Huck. Your time machine back to the 1800's is ready.

Keep up the upbeat campaign.I enjoyed your appearence on Leno.I don`t know if anybody has meantioned this,but Obama was a muslim or still is, I believe there could be a possiblity he has been trained and is a sleeper cell for Alcada.These people pose like regulars for years and years.What happens when somebody like that gets in the White House?.Just looking out for the best interest of our country.

TO ALL REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES,,,,, keep up the good work,, We are all proud of your respectful and civil campain efforts. Don't get bogged down with in-fighting like the DEM / LIBS,, there ' I'm angrier than the other candidate" Tactics will fail and crush there hopes for victory . Stick to your message and run a clean campain. America needs this for a CHANGE

If Huckabee is racist, why is the head of the Coalition of African American Pastors endorsing him tomorrow? Huck also won 54% of the black vote in Arkansas in his campaigns, so I think the idea that Huck is racist is ridiculous.

To those of us in the South, the Confederate flag is not a symbol of racism- it is a symbol of Southern history and heritage. We had hundreds of thousands of brave men die under that flag- not defending slavery- but defending their homes and their states.

Huck is not going to create a theocracy, and isn't going to force you into being a Christian. We Baptists believe in the freedom of religion for people- we simply disagree on the truthfulness of other religions.

The real bigots are those who are bigoted aganist someone simply because they are a Christian. People want to call Christians narrow-minded because we believe that it is the only truth, yet those who attack us are doing the same thing- claiming that they have the monopoly on truth. It is our culture of Christophobia that creates such a negative image of Christians.

Huckabee is far from done. He will place strong in Florida and win many states on Super Tuesday. It's going to come down to the later primaries and perhaps a brokered convention to decide the nominee.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but some things need to be set straight.

Dear Mr. Huckabee,
I respect your religion, however, we need a PRESIDENT, not a preacher. Not someone who thinks the "answer" to our problems is to be "saved". Go home and enjoy your life. Go preach to people who actually want to hear it. Leave our Constitution ALONE. Your beliefs are NOT necessarily EVERYONE's. We have had enough of "Christian love" in the past 8 years to last a lifetime. Drop out. Please.

President Huckabee? It doesn't even SOUND right! Sorry Huckster...

I find Huckabee to be very disengenous.

He is not who he says.

He is the last thing our country needs. The "religious right" has dominated American politics for WAY too long.

America needs a common-sense 3rd party!

Leave the religious nuts nuts to the Republicans and looney left to the Democrats.

Regular folks who actually like our government and care about this country should band together.

It is not too late.

Clearly, Fred Thompson split the ticket and allowed McCain to win as Ross Perot split the ticket on H Bush allowing Billy C. to win in South Carolina.

Due to what I now call the “Fred Thompson chicken block” on Huckabee, Thompson allowed McCain to win S.C. with an otherwise 2nd place vote count. McCain’s win placed Huckabee supporters with greater national responsibility than before to also correct the Fred Thompson “Vote Block” mayhem of South Carolina and go forward to win Florida. Now that the GOP has started eating their own for sport and the most electable candidates are defending themselves from the “no plan” “no accomplishment” competitors the last one standing may be the weakest GOP candidates.

Remember, Bob Dole and George H. Bush got hamburger because the young voters would not or can not associate with them and the same goes for McCain, not to mention the other bones in his closet. That means the democrats will win!

Not only does Huckabee need your strong support now, America needs your support of Huckabee more than ever! Don’t let the elite media get you down, that is their job. Be strong for Mike Huckabee, he needs to see our support and know we are behind him through good time and bad.

GO Huckabee! Take the fight to the “chicken blockers”!

Rina – your an idiot.

Mary M. I read the post by Rina, so your comment is what completely speaks of idiocy and lack of education, where did you get your schooling? I'd bet in a Sunday school classroom where you were taught, "it's my way or no way!" Next time insert some intelligence.

Mary M please be civil. I respect your opinions and was simply voicing mine. There is no need for name-calling, so let's be grown-ups.

Wow Mary M. Check out that typical arrogant attitude. I bet you call yourself a Christian don't you?

I am a lifelong Republican and I will not vote Republican if McCain gets the nomination. This country is almost gone anyway.

Send Illegals to South Carolina and New Hampshire

Nice Book Susan

Huckbee should give it up.........I believe that he truly THINKS that he is doing the right and honorable thing by running for president, but nothing is further than the truth...He is a VERY dangerous figure....He will bring our country back to a time of fear and discrimination....His efforts to attempt to incorporate his OWN version of faith into our government would set the county back into the dark ages....He is not a man of character as he portrays himself...He is a snake in the grass and a snake with a hidden agenda....Where is the press in this?????....and WHY have I not heard outrage over his comments...people ought to be truly frightened of this man............
HE IS NOT A MAN OF HUMILITY AS SOME HAVE PORTRAYED HIM....HE IS ARROGANT....AND HE OUGHT TO BE CALLED ON HIS OUTRAGEOUS COMMENTS BY THE PRESS..........
WHEN PEOPLE USE THEIR RELIGION TO IMPOSE THEIR BELIEF'S UPON OTHERS ...THAT IS A BREACH OF PEOPLES "SPIRITUAL BOUNDARIES" AND "PERSONAL RIGHTS"...OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WOULD ROLL OVER IN THEIR GRAVE OVER SOME OF HIS COMMENTS..........I AM OUTRAGED.............

To all you Floridians: it is my understanding that you do not pay state tax, well under your precious Mike's plan, YOU WILL soon! Hope you enjoy paying the 23%.

You reap what you sow...

Huckabee opposes hate crime legislation, supports a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, opposes allowing same-sex couples to adopt, opposes sexual orientation being a part of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and opposes civil unions for same-sex couples which makes him a BIGOT. If you are of the same mindset as Huckabee, then you, too, are a BIGOT. Your ability to recognize your own bigotry in no way makes you less of a bigot. If you want to support BIGOTRY, vote for Huckabee.

Huckabee supports teacher-led prayer in school, supports displaying the ten commandments in school, and has stated that he seeks to "amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards". He is absolutely forcing his religion on others SUSAN YOU MORON. Our constitution is NOT based on the Christian religion, ESPECIALLY not the blasted ten commandments. Thou shalt not kill? As long there isn't any oil for us to take (Huckabee opposes ending the Iraq War). Or unless we kill prisoners (...pro death penalty, too). Thou shalt not covet? That is the very BASIS OF CAPITALISM. Most of the Founding Fathers were deists, not Christians, and the Treaty of Tripoli and the First Amendment to the Constitution make it clear that we are not a Christian nation and "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

In other words, be as religious as all get out. Engage in glossolalia, do a rain dance, hand out New Testaments on street corners, tell your kids to gather at the flagpole before school, tithe 10%...honestly, I don't care. But don't you DARE get the idea that you are justified in thinking politicians have the right to force the beliefs you support down our throats.

And to address your points Susan:

No I don't think all religious people are crazy. I think you are, and it is apparent by your fanatical rambling.

I am Catholic and have not been affended by Huckabee, quite the opposite. I am glad to see people like Susan finally standing up and taking a stand for our Faith. The non-religious have tried to keep us quite long enough and look where our nation is now? I don't believe his faith would be pushed on us, hopefully it would help him to know what is right for the people though. I always wonder why people are soooo afraid of religion. We can all coexist. I have family that are atheist and other type of nonbelievers of our God, but we all get along fine. We might not agree but we def do not speak so badly and hatefully to each other. I don't understand why he is considered a bigot either. I haven't heard anything I consider to be and I watch alot of the politics. I have always voted dem until this year and the other republican choices are so fake and dangerous that I will end up voting democrat again unless Huckabee is on the ticket. He says things, people twist things to suit their strange minds, but he speaks from the heart. I truly believe he does want the best for America not glory for himself. And any of you who keep believing George Bush is that religious, you probably believed all his other lies too. He wasn't before his candidacy and won't be after it either. It is all just for his own glory and to get votes from those who could not see thru him. He ruined Texas' schools and then left to destroy the rest of the country. Huckabee is the change we need and we need it now. Glad to hear people in California are liking him also. It has been said on these blogs that he would never get votes there.

Huckabee is a dangerous figure for the United States and will only turn back
history and civil rights.
The views/beliefs that he has shown recently towards women and the confederate flag demonstrate that he is not a leader of ALL in the United States.
There is nothing wrong with a person of faith, but when this faith begins to take away the freedoms for some this is wrong.
If you are supporting this man for the role of president, I urge to take a 2nd look at
his character!
Although he may present himself in his speechs with passion, that is not what he is walking and that is not Christianity and not a leader I want for my country.
Equality for all is what the United States is and should be about, Huckabee will
do more damage than good.
It is time for the national news media to step up and report facts, not their corporate
opinions.
If you are a reporter and are a woman, hispanic, african american, asian...you should be outraged and start reporting the facts.

This hypocrite always says he is running a positive camapign while at the same time personally insulting Romney. Practicing religious bigotry against Mormons and Cathlics (he reminded everyone in Iowa Brownback was Catholic). He has these push polls attacking all his opponents. He insults rich people and is running an Edwards like campaign that he is a better candidate because he hasn't achieved any success. I have always raised my children that if they worked hard in school and applied themselves America would reward them but Huckabee seems to think living the American dream makes you less qualified to be president.

Rina – your an idiot.

Let's get real people... No one's candidate is perfect or without fault. I am an Independant who has primarily voted Republican in the last few elections simply because the Democratic Candidates have all been just a little to liberal on some issues for my taste. I am like so many Americans, right now, I really am not struck on one particular candidate.. I like the fact that Huckabee despite being equally liked and disliked in his state, still was able to accomplish much.. Especially regarding the state budget, schools, etc.. Some critics say that he pushed these issues through, but he obviously was able to work out the political differences between Rep, and Dem.. to actually accomplish something...That is something I am looking for.. I think all of the candidates on both sides have done some flip flopping,, or changing of mind and political tatics... Romney has changed so many times that my head spins... I don't like people who try to manipulate me or tell me what they think I want to hear.... The only thing I am sure of, is if Romney gets the nomination for the Republicans, I will vote for any other candidate, even if the opposition place Denise Kucinich as it's front runner, I would vote for him... Anyone else want to run for president? You could have at least one vote... I am sure other people feel the same way that I do, you may have a whole lot more than one vote....

Although neither McCain or Huckabee is perfect, I think this thing has to come down to one of them.

Romney is a joke and will get creamed in the general election. Maybe he is a good businessman. But he came at this thing by creating positions that were the result of some kind of mathematical strategy for winning. He attacks Mike and John on immigration when he verbally supported McCain's plan early on. He invokes Reagan when he verbally distanced himself early on. He attacks Huckabee on taxes when he raised "fees". His message changes daily. All of this is on video and will make excellent Fall commercials for the Dems.

To any other Republicans out there... Please not Romney! Good grief, even I feel compelled to vote for Hillary over him and I don't agree with her on anything. But she would unite the Republican party!

How can you say that you don't look down on homosexuals when your candidate supports a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT prohibiting gay marriage? If that is not faith-imposed politics, I don't know what is. The problem with this is that not everyone believes the same thing. We need a candidate who will not get in the way of that, and still have a system in place that forbids the real problems like Iraq and lobbyists and tax relief for the wealthiest and the corporations and possible recession. And why are you so surprised that nobody wants to be told by their government what to believe? Huckabee is not a victim here! This country was absolutely NOT founded on the word of God. It was founded on the belief that everyone is free to worship as they choose. Read the Constitution. This is why a separation of church and state would allow for everyone to believe what they want without having their basic civil liberties taken away on the grounds of "preserving sanctity". Why can't people understand that everyone is equal? Why is the journey to complete equal rights for everyone so unbelievably slow? Can't people learn from things like the Birmingham bus boycotts and the diner sit-ins and the holocaust, for crying out loud! How long is it going to take people to realize that EVERYONE DESERVES EQUALITY and that includes homosexuals, that includes atheists that includes EVERYONE. Do you really want a theocracy? It seems like dictatorship to me. Anyone who doesn't believe in equal rights and benefits for homosexual, anyone who agrees with Huckabee that gays are "pedophiles" should do a bit of reading on the Holocaust. They'll find themselves agreeing with Hitler, and that should give them a reality check.

Susan wrote "You may laugh and mock and enjoy now, but remember, you'll also reap the disasters later." Hey, Susan, "Let s/he who is without sin throw the first stone." This holier-than-thou, my way is the only way approach to life is neither Christian nor tolerant of others. Look around you, there is goodness too, not just
sin. You are living in the Old Testament. It's over, get with reality and the New.

McCain/Huckabee would be an interesting ticket.

Mike did great in S.C.

It'll be fun to watch, as long as they stop Romney, it's all good.

Religion should be separate, God cannot be. Is that simple enough for everyone to follow along?

A subtle negative shot at Mitt. This is a bit like showing the media the video his ethics prevented him from showing. If McCain showed more resolve than he did the last time he would jump on the bandwagon and try to brand Mitt with the tactics he uses.

I sur ehope it's not McCain. You never seem to know which way he'll vote when you review his records in DC. Giuliani, Huckabee or Romney before McCain !

How you you say a second place standing behind by only 3% is a big loss?

My vote is for Huckabee, without a second thought about it. This country was founded on the Word of God. Yet so many liberals make it their mission to push it out. NEWS FLASH: Christians DO NOT hate you or gays. Nor do we "look down on you". But heaven forbid a Christian speak about God or the Bible and we're suddenly anti everything! Mike Huckabee is not trying to force religion down anyone's throat. You wouldn't be satisfied either way, because if he wasn't up front about being a Baptist preacher you'd criticize him for that, but because he has he's a radical Christian. Wake up America! GOD = LOVE

Need Chuck Norris to roundhouse kick other repubs into submission.

We were given the right to have a spiritual underpinning in our gov't. The Founders believed in God...but not establishing a religion. Atheism, Naturalism, Secularism are also forms of a personal spirituality...and people have the right to believe and exercise these beliefs. I love that Mike stands for his personal spirituality...it's what makes us 'a more perfect union' as we debate and move forward as a country. My values are very similar to Mike's and I hope with persuasion that more Americans will see the need for a strong moral society, that is grounded in the spiritual attributes to the best of our personal and therefore collective understanding.

In short, I agree there is a separation of Church and State, however, there is no separation of the State and personal Spirituality. I can take my spirituality anywhere I want to in this country...including the to Presidency.

Good stuff, Susan, Darrell reminds me of 2nd Chronicles 7:14
if My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

If one wants real change, here he is. The one with a plan for America.

Gov. Huckabee has not forced religion on anyone. Just ask all the Democratic majority in Arkansas, and he was re-elected 4 times. If he was forcing his religion, how come they re-elected him so many times and kept him in office for more than 10 years, he being a Republican and the state is mainly Democratic? Are you saying these people in his state are all insane? You see, you think people are insane when you are not able to comprehend their point of view. You look at things at the materialistic level, and do not know the power of moral values. You think following conscience, following God's law, is insane, that you should just define what's right and what's wrong freely. But unfortunately, the world doesn't operate this way. It operates on a lower level materialistic law, and it is under a higher level moral law. Upholding this higher level moral law is crucial, so that the standard is clear and what is right and what is wrong is well defined and confirmed by people's inner conscience. Gov. Huckabee only wants to clarify the Constitution, which was designed to be amended and clarified based on the founding principles in the Bible. You can research some history and see if it's true that our constitution was designed based on the principles in the Bible. And those who say we can't even mention Bible in public forget that at the inauguration for the president, he's REQUIRED to place his hand on the Bible, yes, surprise, Bible, and say to the Lord: SO HELP ME, GOD! Even Barrack Hussein Obama, if elected, has to say that, you know. So don't ever forget this part. It's a good reminder why this country has been blessed for so many years. Many other countries made a lot of efforts to improve their country as well, but they did not receive this much blessings. But blessings could run out. When the people have insisted to prove themselves not worthy, this nation will go down, in spite of all the good calculated efforts we may come up with, we'll just be trapped in our problems, with no real solutions. And will become one of the other countries out there in the world. You'll see other powers grow in other parts of the world, to come and challenge you constantly and you'll grow weaker, until you see the real problem. An apple that's starting to rot eventually becomes not edible and in the end will be thrown away, or we have to cut the rotten part first so the rest of the apple is still edible. But again, I realize you'll still think I'm insane. Just for your information, I earn 6 figures, live in San Francisco bay area, the most expensive area in America, has a million dollar house (like almost all the houses in SF area are priced) , work in a prestigious financial firm full time, have 3 kids, all attend excellent schools and have the potential to make it to Ivy League. Husband is in sr. management, in a startup company, which might go public one day and strike gold, you never know. So when you think people who have moral concerns are all fools, incompetent in this society and insane, think again. I'm voting for Huckabee not because I'm a lower middle class, (although I totally agree with him that a country must have a strong lower middle class to be really strong and great), or just because he's a fellow Christian (I wouldn't vote for my pastor in our local church). It's because not only he has a rare talent on communication with average people, with a strong leadership charisma that can pull average people to him, has a concern for strengthening lower middle class, but also he has the right medicine for our current major problems, which is a society that has lost its moral standards, anything goes, sons can plot together to murder their parents, students can shoot out their teachers and classmates, parents can throw their babies over bridges, men can kidnap young boys and keep them as sex slaves for many years, husbands can murder their wives and eat their flesh, do I need to continue? Teenagers are given condoms and a direction to the address of the abortion office, movies bombarding young and old with extreme violence, all kinds of twisted sexual desires, newly devised torture methods and horror sensation, homosexuality being promoted almost in all comedies, and then witchcraft, dark fantasies, ect. ect. And we do all these things, and we still expect God's blessings to come to us. The logic behind this thinking could only mean one thing: we really don't think God exists and that we can always bring good fortune to ourselves by cutting some tax, lower some interest rate, encourage more consuming and spending, or go to war. I have news for you: God exists, and He blesses and He also punishes. Sorry to dash your self-invented dreams. God is just, and He doesn't close his eyes to wickedness, and let it go unpunished. I know that for sure, that's why I try my best to live a clean life, in fear of God. If Gov. Huckabee becomes US president, it's this nation's fortune, and might even be this world's good luck, because other countries heavily influenced by United States are also in the spiral of immorality running rampant. But if he can't prevail, the loss is not on Gov. Huckabee's side, but on America. What does Mike Huckabee have to lose if he loses the election? Nothing. He has a humble heart, he comes to run this campaign for a mission, not for personal gain, and he was head of his state for 10 years, and he can continue to write books and give inspiring speeches to many many people whose hearts will be touched by him. I know more and more people will see how great he is, maybe not in this short one year, but in the long run.

(Video link removed)

I know people just want to write him off as religious nut, but a religious nut would not garner 30% of votes in SC, even when a high percentage of so called Evangelicals actually went against him. He's a common sense guy, I tell you, absolutely not a religious nut.

Huck needs to stand his ground, instead of rolling over for a candidate with a single-minded constituancy who makes seeing the trees a past time, whilst ignoring the forest.

What does all this say about McCain's character? These blurbs are from goggling his wives…. Carol, Cindy… wow…

According to the newspaper, McCain returned to Jacksonville in 1973 after more than five years as a prisoner of war to find that his wife was a different person. Carol McCain, once a model, had been badly injured in a car wreck in 1969. The article recounts that her injuries "left her 4 inches shorter and on crutches, and she gained a good deal of weight."
By 1979, McCain was concerned that his Naval career was not advancing and pondering his future. He met Cindy Hensley, an attractive 25-year-old woman from a wealthy Arizona family. McCain courted her and married her in May 1980 — a month after getting a divorce.
Carol McCain waited for the return of her husband from his Vietnamese captivity for five and a half long years; as McCain idolator David Grann put it in the New Republic, she was "a kind of modern-day Penelope to McCain's Odysseus." She carried her burden with nobility, and resolve, staying faithful to the man she refused to believe she had lost – even in the face of her own tragedy. It was Christmas Eve, 1969, while driving along a snowbound street, that she went crashing into a telephone pole: the impact hurled her through the windshield. She lost her left leg, ruptured her spleen, and went through a long series of agonizingly painful operations. Before the accident, she had been a statuesque beauty who worked as a model; she came out of it with four inches subtracted from her height, broken in body – but not in spirit. Her love for her war hero husband forbade her from letting him know anything of her condition: he knew nothing of the accident, and she refused to write him about it since it would only make his burden heavier.

From Justin's website;
THE RETURN OF THE INGRATE
Any man would be lucky to have such a fierce, unbending love: she stuck by him, agitating for his release, and living for the day of his return. Her devotion was repaid with rejection. He learned of her accident on the plane home, and wasted no time in getting rid of her. He was soon back to his old tricks of playing the field – "just as he had at the Naval Academy," says Grann – and soon sought a divorce. He openly acknowledges that his behavior was solely responsible for the break-up of his marriage, and seems to glory in the macho role while simultaneously professing at least some sense of remorse: "I think she has reason to be bitter," McCain told one interviewer.

I think this is going to be a problem again for Him, plus the Keating Five

Does anybody remember McCain last year in the following:

Illegal Aliens do the jobs Americans won't do. McCain had the nerve to challenge the American people that he would pay $50 an hour to anyone who would come to his ranch and work the fields the way the Illegal Aliens do.

Remember the phrase "JOBS AMERICANS WON'T DO?"

HE'S NOT TALKING ABOUT ILLEGALS BUT HE STILL WANTS TO DO IT. IF HE IS ELECTED, HE WILL WORK WITH KENNEDY AND THE REST OF THE CROWD TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. REMEMBER LINDSEY GRAHAM ALSO SUPPORTED THE AMNESTY BILL, FOLKS.

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE PUT McCAIN ON THE SPOT AND MAKE HIM TAKE A STAND ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW JUST WHERE THAT MAN STANDS.

I THOUGHT MITT ROMNEY WAS GOING TO DO IT BUT HE IS NOT TAKING THE FIGHT TO McCAIN. AND FRED THOMPSON IS ONLY INTERESTED IN THUMPING HUCKABEE BECAUSE McCAIN IS HIS FRIEND.

THIS NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT OUT BEFORE THE SOUTH CAROLILNA PRIMARY. IF YOU WANT AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS, McCAIN IS YOUR GUY.

Whenever I listen to Huckabee give a speech, I feel like it's 1969 and I'm a little girl in the pew at church again.
"Do what you're told."
"Leave your shoes on, I don't care if they're too tight."
"Sit still."
"Quit picking on your sister."
"Here's a pencil, draw on the bulletin."
"Say these words outloud with everyone else and say it like you mean it."
"Listen to the sermon, or else!"
"Wake up!"
"It's time to sing now."
"Smile!"
"No, you can't play at Debbie's, she goes to a 'different' church.
Oh, the agony of living life in a little box with 'shame on you' written all over it.

Pulleeezz people, see through this mans fraudulent campaign. Huckabee has been very cruel and snide behind the scenes of his campaign and too many of you are blind to see that. It's because he doesn't know what he's doing this far into the race! He's a pastor, not a President!
Free Huck, quit supporting him!

There is little difference between the likes of Mike Huckabee, Lee Atwater, and David Duke. They are racists, and the shameful "southern strategy" is still the cornerstone of the Republican party's national powerbase.

"Huckabee should never be in this race because he knows that nobody but the Christian Right will vote for him. Look what happened in Michigan and New Hampshire and now South Carolina."

In the primaries, no one but the Religious Right will vote for him. In the general election, if it's him or a Democrat, conservatives will overwhelmingly vote for him, and he might attract a few independents.

I'm glad McCain won South Carolina; I really hope he gets the nomination, until now I didn't think he had a real chance. But it ain't over till it's over. Huckabee's been knocked down, but not out, and he's still got quite a bit of fight left in him.

Republicans are smart. Look what is happenning to Democrats, just backstabbing each other. Now independents should watch the Republican race closely. Recent events on Democratic side have demonstrated that they will push Clintons for nomination leaving a big blood bath behind. McCain is a very favorable leader for Republicans. He may attract majority of independent votes and many moderate Democratic votes. As an independent, I do not see a divisive figure among Republicans. For Huckabee, I think his sincerity is the most important asset. He is not trying to show himself as a different person while having a hidden agenda. You may accept or reject him in the way that he is. Guys, Republican race is definitely more "Democratic" than the "Democratic" race. There is transparency. I do not see any transparency in Democratic race. They try to win by using gender and race cards which are perfectly orchestrated by Clinton War Machine. Expect lots of "crocodile tears" from Hillary (Oh I forget Bill also cries!!) during presidential campaign!! Hard to believe but drama always wins.That's why we have soap operas!!

He better get use to that sort of speech soon, he will concede and will be gone that would be a good thing.

Hoockabebe is starting to sound like Edwards, he looks like he is lost in the picture. Honor...him and McCain are friends, they won't attack each other.

Hoockabboboo is starting to suck up to McCain so in case mcCain should win the election (which he won't) he would still want to be his VP. That is what we now, an old man and a washed up ex-preacher man.

I guess it would be better than a lib like hitlery though.
But McCain won't win either, people will come to their senses.

Some people here have asked why we don't want an Evangelical presidential candidate, when the truth is most Americans don't really care what religion any given candidate practices.

What I DO oppose is a supposedly Christian candidate who is hypocritical, i.e. doesn't practice what he preaches. He supports State's rights to display a symbol of slavery and segregation (NOT very Christian), attacks others when he said he wouldn't, and only represents Evangelical Americans (when has mentioned anything positive about other faiths and talked about THEIR place in America?).

I would gladly vote for an Evangelical who wasn't a wolf in sheep's clothing.

I've read posts on here that have made me nearly cry and that is hard to do, but instead I had to laugh at the ignorance. The people which are praying, fasting, ect, or whatever religious rituals they're performing for Huck, need to pray that our troops will be brought home, pray that gas prices go down, pray for healthcare for the millions of Americans who don't have it, pray that our elderly will be warm this cold winter, pray for the millions of American's who have lost their jobs, pray for the people who have had their homes foreclosed on, and since I recieved a communication from the company i work Friday that there will be no raises for 2008, pray that my money will stretch further as things continue to go up in price. If they will pray for all this then maybe they'll leave the rest of us alone.

I have to laugh every time the archaic Bible thumpers come out of the woodwork and give their opinion on "God this and "God that" and "this country was founded by God" or whatever. George Washington would turn in his grave...the country was founded on the principle of "freedom of worship" not "Christianity". Read your history books. And the sheeple look down on the Scientists and Atheists as if they actually know what they're talking about. The truth is, the country is FULL of these nut jobs who still believe in God and the Bible. Please do us a favor and stop reproducing. Please. Pick up a science book . But I'm sure these people will vote another evangelical nut case into office, and the downward spiral will continue. At which point, I'm moving to Canada or Iceland....screw America, the dream is gone. Thanks religious whackos!

Saint Huckleberry finally gets it!

Aligning Religion with Politics got us into this giant mess, in 2 Elections!
Do people really want to make this a "THREEPEAT" debocle?

The results have been a division in our country, "your either with us,
the christians, or against us", a deep intolerance and hatred;
The restructuring of our government positions and laws to not only
give away our constitution but, our principals.

Special interests, greed, fearmongering, and religion now control
this country. Laws are changed or ignored if they don't increase
the bottom-line of special interests or a select few. People are selected
to office based on their religious beliefs.

Its time to VOTE FOR COMPETENCY!
Before, most of us in this country become unemployed, lose our homes,
go into bankruptcy, etc........

Please can we take RELIGION OUT of POLITICS?
I always thought that this nation was built to SEPERATE RELIGION
FROM POLITICS to AVOID these kind of QUAGMIRES????

Susan,

I appreciated your first post. Then your true colors showed and you scared me away. You are the reason why Huckabee can't win the general election or even the nomination.

David: Sorry my mistake. I get these gigantic Repuglican numbers mixed up all the time. It's a nine trillion dollar debt because of the nine billion dollar a week war started by Shrub whom YOU voted for. You know you did, and the fact that you recognize your mistake now in voting for him should help guide you in not making the mistake again. Of course it won't...you will vote for Huckabee, and, should he magically become president, you and I will be having this same conversation eight years from now.

Oh, and the "go back to your boyfriend and stop harassing us contributors" line? Classic Christian "do as I say, not as I do" mentality. Keep it up. You just prove us seculars right.

To the rest of you Bible-thumping nuts: Why are you so bent on seeing the End of Days? Isn't life worth living? Not your precious after-life, but this one right here? Aren't there things worth doing right now? Why, oh why, do you seek a war-mongering, fire and brimstone brand of president? You do realize that a holy war in this century will result in the end of life as we know it, don't you? Border disputes we can deal with. Political alliances can be adjusted and diplomacy can aid peace. But a holy war, Christianity vs. Islam? Buh-bye, nice knowing you.

Seriously, why can't you vote on the side of peace, diplomacy, true fiscal responsibility, and at least a modest amount of intelligence instead of picking the "God guy"?

My vote is split between McCain and Huckabee; John has the military experience and tenure in Washington, and Mike has a strong foundation of faith upon which to base his views on. Both share similar interests in most topics. As long as this race is civil between the two frontrunners, both candidates should have enough power to derail the Hillary train, and knock out Obama by the time the election rolls around.

Chris you must only read what you want. I did mention the remark regarding the constitution. You must not know about all the amendments there are to it. I wish I could be living under a rock, surely would be better. And I definetely did not vote for Bush. The only BIG diff in Bush and McCain is their age. Otherwise, it will be another 4 years of the same ol same ol. what ever happened to wanting change? I am starting to think from reading the hatred and bitterness that I want no part of the change people are asking for. Seems to be from bad to worse. I guess you have not been too affected by the last 8 years or I think you would be singing a different tune.

Chris: Just because you're a heathen doesn't mean you need to attack those who aren't. Ohh, and he got us 9 trillion in debt, not billion. George Bush is also about as religious as you are. He magically became religious after Karl Rove told him he would need to be in order to get the Christian right vote. If GW actually walked into a church, he would burst into flames. Now go back to your boyfriend and stop harassing other contributors.

Florida for Huckabee writes: "With the lifestyles led by a growing segment of society under the guise of "if it feels good, do it" and the ongoing battle with radical Islam, I'm happy Governor Huckabee is grounded in the Bible."

It could not be clearer. God is punishing the pork-eating South. How many times does the Bible condemn the eating of pork, yet many southerners eat pork three times daily. God sent a great hurricane to warn and punish the south for its porkish ways, but they did not heed. Now God is punishing the south again, by giving victory to McCain.

How long will southerners condemn us to rejection by God?

Good point TJS, and I agree with you FLORIDA for HUCKABEE. Everyone is too much into themselves and doing what feels right, to really hear and know the truth.
I am glad that Mike stands firm in and on the Word of God, and like I mentioned earlier, we need more to stand up and proclaim that One Nation Under God is our stand and all Christians, need to stand up and be strong, and stop hiding your faith, and look to God for your stength, especially now in the these days ahead.

Mike Huckabee is a scary, scary man. His being elected president would be akin to W's reign of terror. In the case of W, he feels he is entitled to be president – he answers to no one and can, therefore, do whatever he wants whenever he wants however he wants.

In the case of Huckabee, he feels he answers to God – and has God in his pocket, God wants him to be president, and those who are against him being president are, somehow, against God.

Huckabee was the first guest on Leno's Tonight Show, crossing the writer's picket line. From this I gather he has no respect for the common laborer.

Huckabee is a "man of God" (a preacher) – who preaches hate ("gays are pedophiles and purveyers of beastiality") and violence ("if they tried to touch our flag we'd show 'em where to put the pole".)

This is not a "uniter", this is a "divider." We've had eight years of "division" – this country cannot take even another moment more. We must stop the course we're on and Mike Huckabee is simply more of the same... just a different flavor.

What would be wrong with a Bible believing, Bible thumping Peacher as president? I believe this country has suffered enough already at the hands of the non-bible believing individuals and government officials who have worked extra hard to keep God out off the country. If we would look back at our history books, we would be wise in noting that this country was founded on the Word of God, and that many of our founding fathers who were also some of our earlier Presidents, were indeed Preachers!
We need more individuals Like Mike Huckabee in Office, as well as in other Govt. offices. We need to step out of the way, and allow God back in our Country., instead of trying to keep Him out of all that we do.
I support Mike Huckabee, and I approve this message.

Huck, where do you want to start the falg or insulting a state with fried squirrel. It has been fun but your base keeps getting smaller and smaller, how do you plan on insulting Florida. Can not wait to see you gone.

W.D.Russell: You're right! It would be so much better to have a lying, amoral, philanderer (Bill Clinton) who would tote a bible every Sunday just for the photo-op and who would present a such a wonderful example for our children. Don't get me wrong, I want a President that practices separation of church and state, but I also don't want a scumbag in the Office either.

Susan and April: You are insane. Your inability to recognize this has no bearing on the fact that it is the truth. Seek professional help. Yes, I am deadly serious...no, this is not just me being a jerk. The two of you are quite literally insane, and I am only looking out for your well-being.

TJS: Have you been living under a rock?You don't see him forcing religion down anyone's throat? How about when he said he wanted to "amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards"?

Religious mental patients all over the south like Susan and April voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004 for the EXACT SAME REASONS that they support Huckabee now: He is a southerner, he is a Bible-Thumper. THAT'S IT. Does no one bother to do basic research anymore? To these people, all that is required to be president is the illusion of proximity to God. Do they not remember what happened last time? They got the president who lied this country into a trillion dollar war, raising our national debt to over 9 billion dollars, digging a recession-shaped hole, and these imbeciles just can't wait to see it happen again. HUCKABEE IS A MORON. "What's an NIE?" Are you kidding me?!?!?

It's interesting to observe the folks that don't want an Evangelical Christian like Huckabee in the whitehouse because in their opinion he offends moderates and Washington is no place for a "bible thumping" conservative.

With the lifestyles led by a growing segment of society under the guise of "if it feels good, do it" and the ongoing battle with radical Islam, I'm happy Governor Huckabee is grounded in the Bible. We could use more like him.

Islam recognizes this is a battle which was foretold in the Bible, why can't we?

Florida for Huckabee!!

Wake up folks. The Huckster is running on a platform of bringing the Spanish Inquisition to America.

Is Huckabee running for pres or vice-pres?

Huckabee has been very cordial when it comes to dealing with McCain. He never takes a shot at him. Huckabee has even been known to praise McCain.

Huckabee, an Evangelical Minister, would be upset if Romney, a Mormon Minister won the White House. Why? Evangelicals view Mormons as a cult. Huckabee knows that he will not win the nomination but he can stop Romney and maybe, just maybe, McCain will put him on the ticket.

No matter his motivation, a vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain and a vote against Romney.

This election is turning very scary. I keep reading that McCain must be chosen for the GOP because he is the only one to beat democrats. I pray not. I am confused how the country by majority has said we want out of the war. McCain has stated that he will not pull our troops out EVER. So is everyone ready to vote for him since they think he is the only one that has a chance? Not me. If he is on the ticket at all I will sadly vote democrat. Which I had planned to do until researching Huckabee. I don't see him forcing religion down anyones throat. Anytime believers admit that fact they are Religious fanactics. As far as changing the constitution, it has been amended numerouse times, is the problem this time that it might be to Christian ideas or what? If he was so bad in Arkansas why was he their governor for so long? Being said that he is another Bush, I would love to hear that rational. Bush comes from an oil family. And being from Texas, I never heard his religious views before, that all came while being President or running for it. The 2 most like him are Romney and McCain. Romney's money and his father was in politics to start. McCain because he has war on the brain. Any of you with teenagers might want to think real hard before voting for McCain, you are signing your kids draft ticket. Myself I would like to see a Huckabee/Paul ticket and get the best of both worlds. I just hope and pray that all will totally research their choices. The last 8 years have almost ruined us and we cannot make the same mistake, unless you are up there with the Bush and Romney class, you will not survive. Myself I am tired of choosing between paying my bills and buying groceries. I think Huck is the only candidate that truly knows what that feels like and hopefully remembers. PLEASE vote for more than being against religion.

I guess Huckabee ran a civil campaign because he didn't have an attack ad to show the media and say he is not airing. What a hypocrite. The man whi is truly civil and moral seems to be Ron Paul.

Republican evangelicals need to realize Mike Huckabee cannot win against either Hillary nor Obama. He is simply seen as too evangelical to carry enough moderates in key states like FL, PA, and OH..... which are critical to a GOP win.

Republican moderates need to realize that Romney nor McCain cannot win against Hillary nor Obama without the evangelical's support in the Bible belt and midwest.

As I see it, currently the GOP is fragmented almost beyond repair and no candidate has managed to unite the evangelical wing with the moderate wing, as W was able to do, and this will essentially hand the White House to the Democrats.

PERHAPS McCain could be a compromise, one-term, choose his successor as VP, candidate who MIGHT have a chance against the Democrats. MAYBE.

Other than that, we can look forward to a Democratic president and likely a democratic Congress.

Huck and McCain both played dirty during the S.C. primary. It's called lying

Huck is definitely trying to "swoon" McCain for the VP position.

Mitt will surprise the nation when he takes Florida. He is the man. He has the experience, leadership, and morals our country needs. He will be the nominee. We support you overseas.
Go Romney!

One has to question the reasoning of supposedly stauch conservative voters who choose to place the 2 of the 3 most liberal Republican choices as the number 1 and 2 choices. Apparently they are willing to sacrifice their core beliefs for the sake for god only knows what reasons. Since McCain has shown that he is a true flip flopper on the issues of tax cuts and illegal immigrants and Huckabee has gone from welcoming all immigrants regardless of their status to a supposedly tought stance on illgeal immigration and securing the border. Not to mention the fact that McCain is re-writing history in regards to the surge and pulling an Al Gore (Inventing the internet) . The claim that he somehow orchestrated the surge is proposterous and the only thing he helped to accomplish was putting pressure on Rumsfield and possibly changing the general in charge. However General Petraeus had the final say and I highly doubt he went to someone who unless I missed the info never held the rank of general which in the scheme of things is the only rank that would truly be fully involved in running operations with an eye truly to the big picture and not just to a small portion of the forces involved.

In the end as much as the Democrat part would want it McCain is highly unlikely to win the Republican nomination due to his liberal tendencies and in the long run his inability to energize the base of the party. In the event that he were to win the Republican nomination more likely then not he would be unable to win against any Democrat candidate due purely to the fact that he could not rely on the base of the Republican party to be motivated in significant enough numbers to overcome the bitterness of the Democrat party and their desire to change after the Presidency of George Bush.

Well put susan. America has yet to reap the reward for it's sin. Our only hope is constant intercession, prayer, fasting, and a God-fearing, righteous man for President. Go Huckabee!!

South Carolina, you've disappointed and saddened so many God's people today!

I'm going to make it my mission to help Mike Huckabee in every possible way, and he doesn't need to pay me, and I'll contribute when I can afford. And I'm just an ordinary citizen, middle class mom with kids, with no background or prior interest in politics. And I know thousands of people feel strongly in the same way. If it need be, we can help him spread his message for the next four years, and I'm confident there are more people in this great country who still have conscience and still fear God. We can take it like a long journey, 4 years, 8 years, try and try, to make more people see. After all, he's the youngest candidate in the GOP field and he can wait it out. Mike Huckabee is real gold, his value will not diminish. As he gets more media exposure, introduce himself to more and more ordinary people, they will see the goodness in him, the light in him, the rare talent in him, and they'll finally realize his worth.

Huckabee is an inspiration for those people who still have a conscience. Those who are buried in the wickedness simply are surrounded by darkness and can't see the true light. He's a great man, a brave man, a man with honor, with extraordinary talent, with a vision for a truly better America and a determined will to stand out for goodness and call for the turn around of this country. But the biased media, power of money and waves of wickedness of the people are simply too strong. America probably needs to be punished more, with more God's blessing being taken away, with more natural disasters and fighting enemies coming our way, before Americans will realize what's really going on and possibly repent. I feel extremely sad today (I cried till my eyes are swollen), not just because of Huckabee's campaign loss, but because I see America is not being blessed by God anymore. The one who truly wants to help them is being rejected by them, with scorn, hatred and mock. It reminds me of Jesus, being sent to save the people and being rejected and crucified by them. I know sadness and trouble will follow America, its people will continue to degenerate, in a downward spiral morally, and maybe war will have to come directly to this beautiful land, because its people has chosen to deserve it. People who still have goodness in them, we can only try to save ourselves and pray, and shield our children as much as possible from the rampant wickedness in this derailed society. That's my take on today's South Carolina result. I had wished America's good luck, in a time of difficulty, to turn to God, to seek his favor, but I guess this country is no longer favored by God. You may laugh and mock and enjoy now, but remember, you'll also reap the disasters later. And by the way, McCain won't get my vote in general election. No he won't. I'd rather see America get some more bitterness in the hopes of waking them up in 4 years and possibly elect President Mike Huckabee, the real one, the real deal.

Go, Huckabee, go! I've just donated to your campaign again! I know many have just donated again to show our love and respect for you! You're the only one in this race who deserves to be president. McCain is 71 year old, and simply won't stand in general election. Period. Stop dreaming. Just take a good look at his pictures in the news and you know he's not presidential. Majority of people won't like him. Minorities won't like him. Conservatives won't like him. Ok, so he can marry the military then. People will most definitely choose Clinton over him. Evangelicals will sit out the election, no one will be eager to help him out. Romney's calculating smile won't win middle class and minorities pretty much sure. He can buy a few states, but can he afford to buy most states? So if you get McCain or Romney, GOP is toast. White House is Dems. Only the talent and charisma of Huckabee could defeat the Dems, whether it's Obama or Clinton. Remember that, GOP, remember, without us, you're down down and gone! Dems will rule.

No ticket with either Hickabee or Romney will beat Hillary or Obama. The GOP's best hope is McCain and someone like Joe Biden. However, W and Cheney have messed everything up so badly that either Clinton or Obama, or better yet, the "dream team" of Clinton/Obama, will still beat the Republican contenders soundly. So, while I like respect & trust Honest John more than all the other GOP candidates put together, I hope one of the religious nuts gets the nomination so that we can have a landslide Democratic victory for President and Congress and start picking up the pieces, and restoring this great country to where it was and should be again!

Huck is good at conceding. If he wins the Primary, he will probably try to concde to Hillary as soon as he can.

The way I see it, flat out Romney is not our guy. He is just way too cookie cutter. Come on, he's just to bland to take on Clinton or Obama. Huckabee's got that "pulled myself up by my bootstraps, next door neighbor look" working for him and McCain's got that "p.o.w. hero vet card" that just might be the edge we are looking for. Romney is too IceMan, too perfect childhood, fairytale bull. Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt. He's boring. I have always had a sweet spot for the underdog – I will role my dice for Huckabee. He might be nutty enough to win!

HUCKABEE! We are behind you! Win or Lose you have made us all proud! You are a true Gentleman. Thank You! Thank You! My family and I with you!

Huckabee is an HONEST MAN. I don't see why many here who have left comments have a problem with that. If Romney is going to win why are you all sweating it? If Huckabee isn't to be President then let be McCain, anyone is better than that "sell to highest bidder Romney". By the way, it's true Huckabee has no money, he never has had much at all and yet has given "Well Funded" Romney a run for his money. YES, I AM A HUCKABEE SUPPORTER and I would be PROUD OF HUCKABEE if he later chooses to back McCain.

Do people really buy this? Huckabee has been down and dirty with every possible cheap shot. He has belittled other candidates and their character making his campaign about personal attacks. He has pandered to every Christian and every so called "Commomer" with his campaign rhetoric. Then he brags through his dimpled face about his honor. BARF!

Huckabee, the master attacker, complimenting civility....

McCain didn't deserve to win.
Huck is the better candidate.

Goodbye Huck.

Well your right Huck you didn't attack other candidates..Just outside citizens about the South Carolina Flag. Where do you want to stick it? It wont be soon before long! In other words bye bye Hucky! It's been fun!

Huck, how can you say you ran a civil campaign when you pandered to the evangelicals? You may not have slammed McCain, but you pandered to those who have confederate flags on the windsheilds of their trucks, a symbol of discrimination and hate in the south, so how dare you stand before the cameras all holier than thou when all you do is promote hate.

Running a civil campaign? "Civil war" revival more like, Huck. Pandering to the worst in people: religious and racial bigotry and ignorance. Congratulations.

We definitely do not need a Bible Thumping president.

If the Republican races were like the NFL playoffs, Romney and McCain keep winning to advance the next round.

Huckabee is now (1-5) but somehow thinks he is doing great and on the verge of winning the Superbowl. Maybe he can start pandering to the (1-15) Dolphin fans now and tell them how he is just like one of them (no disrespect to Dolphin fans, you'll do much better next year than Huckabee will).

Does Guiliani know the playoffs started 3 weeks ago (0-6)?

Congrats to Ron Paul for finishing ahead of McCain, Thompson, Huckabee and Guiliani in Nevada.

Mike is doing fantastic considering the relatively small amount of $$ he has at his disposal,. HUCKABEE 2008!!!!!!

Huckabee, quit you're fussing... Fair campaign... clean campaign... civility... no attacking? Can you say... passive aggressive, Huckabee????

Quit your crying... Welcome to the world of politics...

What a disgrace to his supporters. Huckabee could have easily won SC, but he would have had to go negative against McCain–which would have been very easy to do given McAmnesty's failed immigration bill, McAmnesty voting against tax cuts twice, and that rotten McAmnesty-Feingold bill that snubbed its nose at the 1st Amendment, Gang of 14, etc......

But no....Huckabee thanked his supporters by going easy on McAmnesty because he knows he has no chance at winning and is dearly hoping McAmnesty will pick him up as the VP. Hasn't Huck figured it out yet? Mac has played him like a fiddle to *try* and take down Romney. There's no way McCain picks up Huck as the VP.

Are you running for the Confederate States of America ?

Look up self-righteous in the dictionary, and you just might find Mike Huckabee's name...

If South Carolina Republicans could have been this wise in 2000, America's foreign policy over the last eight years would have been so much better. Alas, Bush, Rove, dirty tricks and foolish voters in South Carolina led to the disasters of the last eight years. I'm sorry, but Bush's little stint goofing off in the National Guard does NOT equate to John McCain's honorable combat service in Vietnam and his bravery and courage while staying at the Hanoi Hilton. Go John McCain!!

Civil campaign, I don't think so. You lied about Thompson's record and positions. Your special interest group was attacking all the other candidates with false accusations. And he's a preacher? God help us if he becomes president.

However, he added, the GOP presidential race "is not an event, it is a process — and the process is far, far from over."

It is for you – you just don't know it yet!

Probably the greatest chance for republicans in the general election is a McCain/Huckabee ticket.

The organizational power of the evangelicals and McCain's reputation on military matters could pose a real problem to democrats, regardless of their ticket.

I think any other candidates will be fairly simple for the democrats to defeat in November

To clarify what happened in South Carolina tonight, Fred Thompson split the ticket, as Ross Perot split the ticket on H Bush in South Carolina. Huckabee supporters must start today answering the established media’s attack on Mike Huckabee and expose the records of McCain, Romney, and Thompson.

Jack, it may not be the media's job to keep the candidates happy, BUT, I too have noticed that John Edwards does not get the publicity and attention that Clinton and Obama have been given, I like to think your network is being fair, it might be that the Obama and Clinton offer more excitement with their "jabbing each other now and then, where John Edwards llikes to just state what he has to offer and runs a clean camlpaign, without the monies that the other candidates have. Please be fair, Ok?? Lori White

huckabee will say anything to praise mccain to be nominated his running mate.they will make good couple

It is not over till is over, Go Huck, onto FL

McCain and Huck tagteam = Mac and Cheese

Both are trying to take down Romney, both have cut a back room deal to choose the other as VP

DISGUSTING!

Hucka and MccAin sitting in a tree K i S S I N G

First comes love

then comes marriage

Then Huck endorsing McCain.

What a fraudulent campaign deal this two have.

This one could have gone either way. Great job on a strong finish and you are correct, this thing is far from over.

Both McCain and Huckabee have shown true class in this primary season ... something that we don't normally see. I'm a Huckabee guy, however, I could certainly live with McCain winning the nomination and if he does, he should heavily consider choosing Huckabee as his running mate.

Consider it ... with McCain's following of moderates and "liberals" and Huck's conservative base, they would make a strong team.

Well spoken concession speech Huck.

mike huckabee is admirable because he has gotten so far, finishing second in SC given the very limited logistics he has. but there is also time to consider exiting the battle.

Huckabee and McCain haven't attacked anybody? What about Huckabee's attack ad on Romney that he said he wouldn't run but then showed to reporters? What about McCain and Huckabees comments that Romney is less than honest? Romney puts out ads merely comparing his record against those of his opponents, and McCain and Huckabee respond by denigrating Romney's religion and calling him a liar, and yet Romney is the one who gets labeled as the one "attacking" other candidates?

But this is how it always is, I suppose. When politicians can't take on an opponent on the issues they resort to name-calling and attack the messenger rather than the message.

I am so glad he is gone, what a looser.

Sure wish that civility would carry over into a foreign policy which respects the sovereignty of other nations. If Huckabee would practice what he preaches, he'd encourage us to love our enemies and do good to those who hate us. Wouldn't it be nice to give peace a chance? I suppose that's just a dream, though, since we Americans pride ourselves on our team being the biggest/baddest/toughest and how can other's know that if we don't demonstrate it every 10 – 20 years?

So the pandering, Metamucil comments, and push-polling are honorable? Wow, who knew!

Huckabee can't win against a Democrat in the general election because he greatly offends moderate voters.

The sad part is that religious conservatives don't see that Huckabee is splitting the conservative vote and making it possible for McCain to win.

Think about it. The majority of voters will vote against McCain and yet because the conservative vote is split, McCain could win.

Huckabee should never be in this race because he knows that nobody but the Christian Right will vote for him. Look what happened in Michigan and New Hampshire and now South Carolina.

Huckabee serves only to split the conservative vote.

Huckabee needs to bow out.

Yes, Huck, McCain was civil.

You pandered at every turn.

Where should I put that pole again?

While you're being civil with each other, how about carrying that idea a little further as you think about all the innocent Muslim people you will be bombing if you're elected.

If Huckabee would practice what he preaches, he'd encourage us to love our enemies and do good to them that hate us. At least that's what his Lord and Savior would do.

McCain is pounding the WAR Drums, getting ready for a Mac Attack

McCain says the good jobs are gone.

Huckabee is sucking his voters in because he is just WORKING for McCain.

Economy Romney says you can have a JOB again
Hucabee says you cn be born again
McCain wants a war again.
Hillary hates Cats

HUCKABEE SHOULD COME CLEAN AND SAY HE WILL BE SUPPORTING MCCAIN LATER.

For the first time in along time I'm glad my vote for either McCain or Huckabee is a great vote!

Time for Huck to drop out too. He's now badly lost four races in a row and has no money left. For the good of the party he should drop out now. If he stays in it's only an ego thing.
