Huckabee is to John McCain what Gilligan is to the Skipper.

The idiot to do his dirty work ! !

Would we elect this Gilligan to be President.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

Now THAT is funny.

Renee
You spout the most religious bigotry that I have heard in a long time.
You should read your own Bible and remember one thing throughout the Book that Jehovah is Jesus Christ. You might learn something instead of anti Mormon propaganda spoken by your leaders.

Ohio for Huckabee! May God continue to Bless America.

Huckabee better take the for job of head of the Christian right of jerry Falwell.
If he looks to McCain to give him the job of Vp he will get fooled. That job is for his pal Joe Liberman. Who do you see around McCain in picture. If you do not see Joe Lieberman look again.

GOD BLESS HUCKABEE
SOME OF US KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE TRUE CONSERVATIVE AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN…….NOT JUST FOR THIS ELECTION AS ROMNEY HAS BEEN.

ROMNEY NEEDS TO DROP OUT AND GIVE HIS SURPORT TO HUCKABEE TO KEEP MCCAIN FROM HURTING THE REPUBLICIAN PARTY. IT WAS PROVEN TUES. NIGHT THAT YOU CAN NOT BEAT MCCAIN………..

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Wolf,

Watching the results being tallied after super tuesday,, I was alarmed to find that Hillary victories where due to as you called it

1, Less educated
2. latinos
3. Asian

This is the deciding vote for Anerica .!!!!!!!!! Isn't that a scary thought !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Now that I think about it, better Huckabee than Obama.

Huckabee 08!

He is a man of integrity!

Considering that Huckabee JUST missed S. Carolina and MO, and Romney was further back, it is obvious that a vote for Romney boosted McCain to his current position. Not only would the gap be much smaller, but McCain wouldn't have gotten his rocket-booster of "momentum" and things would be very different–Romney himself may even have fared better in places like CA.

It's time for fence-sitting Romney supporters to stop holding Huckabee back and switch, for the sake of the Republican Party.

Renee,

A lot of people have died fighting for the separation of church and state–a value which is precious to the American constitution. Whether our president is Mormon, Muslim, or Christian should be irrelevant. Please recognize that your fanaticism is as offensive as religious terrorists', and focus your energies away from matters of faith (that only apply to people exactly like yourself) towards matters of life as experienced on a day-to-day basis (that apply to all Americans).

Huckabee is the right man for 2008!

The only reason Huck is still in….because he isn't decent enough to drop out and stop dividing the party. Yes, Huck, Romney has more delegates than you and when you count the popular vote, he is within inches of McCain….NOT YOU. Get over the Mormon thing….we all see you as a bigot now.

Credit? Sure. Now Mr. Huckabee, now that you re the "other candidate", lets see your past sermons and what you espoused before your rise to the national stage.

Obama as Commander and Chief would be an obamanation.

Huckabee is surprising me.

We have prayed for Huck, and GOD put him in the race! GOD got Huck this far, and it will be GOD to put him in office as Pres or VP, if He so choses! Huck is a true Christian, where Romney is not. How can people trust a guy (Romney) who's beliefs are based on a false religion, a cult made up by a human (Joseph Smith), a heretical religion from a heretical human?

Our Christian Bible says, " I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book." (Revelation 22:18-19) God has VERY strict warnings about making up false teachings and religions, and adding anything else to Jesus' words, and the Bible as a whole!

Mormonism is just that- adding the false testimony of Joseph Smith (called the Book of Mormon) to the Bible, claiming that it is "another testament of Jesus Christ". It is a cult, no matter how you look at it. So, yes, we need to do everything we can do to keep a Mormon out of the Presidency! We don't want a President who makes his decisions with the help of a cult and a heretical book!

We want a President, i.e. Huckabee, who looks to Jesus Christ as his help in every area of the job. When the President is faithful to the Lord spiritually and morally, and commits his ways to the Lord, then the Lord will make his plans succeed! (Proverbs 16:3)

If Romney had dropped out prior to the SC primary……Huckabee would be in command now…..Romney never had a chance……I mean he has only won three primaries now….The rest were caucus states.

Credit is well deserved being that he has done it with 20 dollar donations from real people that care enough to see him make it. He hasn't got 5 million as hilary just announced giving towards her campaign. Huckabee is doing it on his merits, his genuine character making him someone you can trust. He conducts himself in manner that is worth every cent not as others have waisted in large amounts of money conducting themselves in an opposite manner. I hope people really take a look into Huckabee and see who and what he is about…..

I agree with Mark…

I don't get all this anger towards Romney… all it is doing is splitting the Republican party… nobody really thinks that Huckabee has a chance its just not realistic.

I like Romney but then I am from Utah however I didn't vote for him… I knew he would take it… I voted for Obama because I will not vote for McCain he is worse than the Dems….

Just watch if McCain gets nominated Utah will be a blue state and we will have Democrats back in the Whitehouse…

Way to go McCain and Huckabee you've split up the Republican party

You've made millions of "Mormons" mad at you… Don't get me wrong Orrin Hatch made a run for President back in 2000 he's "Mormon" and that didn't matter that he lost… he wasn't the right guy for the job. You've targeted Romney not because he isn't the right man for the job but because he is "Mormon" now thats a real Christian thing to do isn't it!

Romney is the Right guy (yes a subtle hint not a liberal like McCain) yet the Evangelicals are so angry (I really don't get why) that they would prefer to have Democrats in the whitehouse… and that is exactly what will happen.

Wake up Huckabee get off your high horse and quite trying to take out the best man for the economy…. High taxes will only drive us to another depression we will not even stop at a recession.

Let's put a business man in the Whitehouse one that knows how to straighten things out. One that knows how to keep us working and making the money we need to support ourselves, one that will fight for the Traditional Marriage, one that will fight against abortion except for cases where the health of the mother is in jeopardy or cases of rape or Incest… these are core conservative values

One thing you have to agree on, wheather you like or dislike about Mike Huckabee's policies, you don't have to guess what he will be saying next.

I relate to Mike Huckabee because he is the only one that can relate to the every day citizen Republican, Democrat, or Independent, and the only thing I have been hearing from him is for the good of our country.

Yes, agreed! It was a good night for Huckabee and all those from across the nation who have rallied behind him!

With the vote nearly split down the middle in MIssouri, no one can really say that Missouri chose McCain, and rejected Huckabee. Same goes for South Carolina and Oklahoma. Huckabee still has a whole lot of enthusiastic supporters out there with grit just like their candidate!

Wherever Mike goes, his message connects with people. Then when they go deeper and check his record as governor, they like him even more. No doubt he's a fiscal conservative who can manage a budget — look what he's been able to accomplish with a campaign budget that doesn't even come close to the spending of the other "top tier" contenders. Quite impressive!

Thanks, Wolf, for some really good coverage last night. We kept it on CNN and the whole way through.

I am not a Huckabee supporter, however I have a great amount of respect for the man!! I am very happy to see that he is getting some positive press as he and his supporters deserive the credit!!! I am a very strong Christsian and I have not heard anyone in my church or any of my other Christian friends talk ill of Romney due to his religous convictions. I believe, as Christians believe, that we are not here to judge, we are not God. The White House is not a church and the leader of our country does not dictate what we believe in. Due to the reasons I believe that Huckabee and his supporters are not in line with McCain to try and push a Mormon out of the running, I think that this is absurd. I believe that like Romney, Huckabee has a message and thinks that he would be a good president and is trying to the best of his abilities to get the word out.

Huckabee is the real deal. Just think what he has done in the face of media bias and anti-Christian bigotry like the comment below. In a fair system, he would be the frontrunner. Let's make it that way.

I agree 100% about his dedication and 'push forwardness'. A man with this much desire to keep fighting for what he not only believes … his personal health and all the other areas…is worth the votes of the American people. He has proven to us all that, in his own life he has the unwavering determination to keep on going when it looks like he shouldn't. I'm proud of him and I think we all should be. He is the example we have been wanting and are looking for in a leader. He has never faltered or tried to play with his intrigity. Of all the candidates…Huckabee is the leader.

I was a Romney supporter. I have been listeining to all the talking heads bash Mike Huckabee. I thought how in the world can Huckabee be that bad?? I went I checked out his record—-folks it is good—I was impressed—-I'm voting soon.

i think condolezza should run for vp in the mccain ticket

that's a winner combo

Actually, I give him more credit than I do another former governor from Arkansas and his wife! And I'm a 49 year old, lifelong Democrat! Go figure! I may not agree with Huckabee's politics but that doesn't matter when you even breath the Clinton name.

Very well put, Wolf. Mike Huckabee, while not the candidate I'll be voting for, has done a lot of things that are noteworthy. As you said, losing 100 pounds in and of itself is an amazing feat, and I think more people should be encouraged by the wonderful qualities this man does have.
As you said, again, you may not agree with the man's views on the issues (I certainly don't), but he is a likeable person and he should be given an enormous amount of credit for staying in the game as long as he has.

Always a pleasure reading your blogs, Wolf. You never fail to keep me informed and entertained.

Evangelicals, one more thing…Who has said he will not vote for a constitutional amendment on abortion? Who has said he would not vote for a constitutional amendment on same-sex marriage? He's from Arizona. His name is Senator John McCain, and your vote for Huckabee is essentially a vote for John McCain — and you can deny it all you want, but that's the case.

Huckabee is actually taking his own evangelicals for granted. If Huckabee were really carrying their policies, he would be urging people–McCain has made it plain as day that he's not going to be take the federal steps to secure the culture that the evangelicals demand of the Republican Party. McCain's made it plain. I don't know that the evangelicals know this. I don't know that they're aware of it.

If Huckabee were genuinely interested in the causes of his constituents, he would be attacking McCain, not Romney. Other than Alabama, Romney and Huckabee have largely divided the evangelical vote — and in that case, Huckabee should be aligning with Romney, not McCain; if these issues are critical to him. But they're not — if they were important to him, he would be attacking the guy that's out there standing in the way of getting these things done, and that is McCain.

Evangelicals and Huckabee are not interested in true politics, they are only interested in ensuring a Mormon does not get nominated…for professing to be Christian, some Evangelicals sure have a lot of anger and jealousy for a Mormon guy…I don't get it.

Yes, and it makes you wonder what would've happened if he'd had the money and the large staff like the others had. He has a strong message, contrary to what many believe, that is, people who haven't looked closely enough at his solutions. What strikes me is that he is a politician who actually has a clear understanding of why he stands where he does on all of his policies. He has a philosophy behind his stance. Yes, some of his philosophy is touched by his religious faith, but it is also comprised of a secular morality and a common sense approach to making things work at the people's level. Read his book "From Hope to Higher Ground: My Plan for Restoring America's Greatness." You'll find practical policies and also a guide on what each American can do in his/her own life to address each issue. The plan isn't all about policy. It's also about people. A very novel idea in the current political world, it seems.

Wolf - You are one of the reasons I have switched from Fox News to CNN. You are willing to give "fair and balanced" treatment to each of the candidates without adding your personal bias and making it sound like fact. You fit under the old "journalist" category. I hardly remember what that is anymore.

No doubt He deserves a lot of credit for what he's been able to do in the Presidential race, Thing about Huckabee that makes him stand out above all the other Republicans that are and were in this race is that he doesn't let his critics dictate how he should run his campaign, he's gonna run it the way he sees fit. He definitely has a future in the GOP even if he doesn't get the nomination this time around.

Thank you. Finally someone out there in the news world is giving Mike Huckabee some credit! Sadly it took a "surprise" Super Tuesday effort in order for people to finally wake up to the realization that Mike Huckabee IS a strong candidate. I appreciate your acceptance of the "shock" that came from Tuesdays voters, but I only wish he would have gotten the media coverage as the other candidates who are, as you pointed out, taken more seriously. Maybe now the rest of the U.S. will finally get to hear about this underdog from Arkansas. Thanks again!

Romney and McCain are definitely spoilers for Mike Huckabee demonstrated by their expense per vote received.

My estimations:
Romney- $84,644,955 = 4,095,564 Votes @ $21.40 ea.
McCain - $39,145,649 = 4,820,598 Votes @ $ 8.12 ea.
Huckabee – $7,107,364 = 2,399,495 Votes @ $ 2.96 ea.

Thanks Wolf for your objective reporting. I am a regular viewer of The Situation Room and I think you are doing a great job. In this era where reporters are unethically abandoning all objectivity, you stand out as a true proffessional. Huckabee's is truly a story of a great American. No matter how his campaign ends up, he has really shown that dedication, determination, hard work, sincerity and humor can overcome any odds. He has had an impact in this election and given it a flavor that would have been absent without him and will continue to.

I think its sad how the media (Jacobson) say Huckabee 'took' votes away from Romney. What makes them so sure that McCain and Romney aren't "taking votes away from Huckabee"? Thats how I see it. I like Mike.

Huckabee lost me when he endorsed the confederate flag! Im a black american disable vietnam combat veteran and I did like Huckabee. Im from Arkansas and understand what that flag means.

Im supporting Barack Obama. I think he can unite this great nation unlike anyone else. McCain will only divide us along race, war and economics!

Most people who actually listen to Huckabee, see his speeches and research him a little bit find that he is the most consistent conservative in the race. I was drawn to him a couple of months ago after seeing some of his speeches on Youtube. As a PBS commentator pointed out: every state where Huckabee spent time campaigning for Super Tuesday, he won. Imagine how much better he would be doing if he had more financial backing! Romney has outspent him at least 20-1 and has had a lackluster performance.

If Obama wins I vote for Huckabee or MCCain.

Why do all the political commentators disregard the fact that Huckabee is the only supporter of the Fair Tax. They all consistently credit his votes to the evangelicals however there is an entire community of Fair Tax supporters who are supporting him all over the country and no one reports on it.
