Go Huckabee

A choice between the nominee: McCain
and
a loser: Huckabee

What a joke!

"a solid, conservative"… what, is he going to get someone else to take his place?

oh huckabee, darling darling huckabee. he's so cute and likeable that you almost forget how insane he is. well, not really, but aww. huckabee.

Good let the huckster stay in…hehehe what a joke

If Huck can't even figure out that this race is over, how's he ever gonna figure out how to run the country? Romney at least knew when it was a done deal (even if it is a bad deal.)

If McCain's the nominee, I'll do a write in, or maybe vote democrat - what's the difference? McCain's no friend to conservatives.

your comment is awaiting moderation ha ha ha

mccain our next president like it or not

ha ha ha

hes just about as delusional as his supporters.

Huckabee cannot win. He defends this by saying "I didn't major in math, I majored in miracles". Does ANYONE really want this guy in charge of the economy? It's a heck of a lot more complicated than the primary electoral vote totals, which seem too complex for him.

Also, why is it that when I see the Huckabee campaign picture, I always envision it with "What, me worry?" under it?

I just heard Huckabee on CNN say that it would be disservice to the people of Texas for him to drop out of the race and leave onltyJohn McCain. I am from Texas and not it would not be a disservice to me. Not at all. I'm voting for Mitt Romney in the Texas primary. After West Virginia, which should have gone to Mitt Romney and anti-Mormon sentiment against him and his family, that is not Christian-like.

Huckabee for President? God beware! I don't want a hunter for president, who finds it amusing and relaxing to shoot and kill some little birds. What if even his wife's pleasure in killing bears will not satisfy him anymore and he has to push a big red button to destroy , kill, half of th world's population? As an European I may not be able to understand this "American tradition" of killing for fun ( hunting). I'm just afraid of someone ( like Cheney) who does not respect any kind of life.

Huckabee needs to take his message of exclusionism (I'm the only Conservative) out of the tent. We Republicans are forging new boundaries as the mainstream party. We have a great candidate, John McCain. Huckabee is not leading; he's annoying.

I wonder when mikey is going to get desperate and start slinging mud at McCain. Maybe he should have been taking issue with McCain this whole time instead attacking Romney.Maybe his religious hatred wouldnt allow him to see past Romney.

2 comments:

1) At least he didn't cut and run like Romney.
2) This is the last time you'll ever hear a Republican say anything about letting people have a choice.

Hang in there….you'll have TX

Time to fold the tent, the writing has dried on the wall; The focus now needs to shift to November.

Please stay the coarse Gov. You still have a great chance. Remember a lot of Miracles happen in the 11th hour. It's not over until God says it is over. Joshua won his greatest battles with the Lord going before him. Especially when his enemies thought they couldn't lose. My prayer is God Go before Gov. Huckabee and give him the stragey and tools he will need. Bless you from Illinois. We are praying and supporting you. Don' t give up.

Here's a possible scenario: if Huckabee doesn't drop out shortly after the March 4th primaries, Romney officially quits the race and hands his delegates to McCain(probably for some favor for Romney later on, like giving a speech at the convention). This would result in McCain getting more than the minimum 1191 delegates necessary for the nomination and Huckabee quitting. This way Romney can say that he helped McCain win quickly plus stick it to Huckabee(the 2 don't like each other, even more than McCain and Romney). This would also prevent this Huckabee hope for miracles going on in April, May, etc'

Mike 379 delegates to go. Sorry, I know you can't do math, but it is pretty clear you can't do it. Say Good Night Mike!

hang in there mike!!!

What a shame, mccrook i mean mccain has fooled so many - he can NOT be trusted and we are going to loose the white house to the Dems. because of this. I will NOT vote for him if he is the nominee for the Republicans. I would not stoop so low as to vote for someone like mccain. Lets hope Huckabee can take it to the convention and get the nomination.

America needs Huckabee!

Keep on fighting , Huck. Your fight will show McCain for the hypocite he is.

Way to go Huckabee

Regardless of who you support, you can be sure of this truth: die hard conservatives are not excited about McCain, and will have a hard time firing themselves up to vote for him. If McCain does go on to seal the Republican nomination, look for a repeat of Dole '92.

Sorry Deb - the only loser here is you. The only way you would recognize a conservative with integrity is if he was on Oprah or the View - and the hags told you he was a conservative. McAmnesty couldn't hold Huckabee's water bottle.

Wake Up America - You Are Losing Your Freedom!

Yeah, too bad there isn't a real conservative in the race. Huckabee isn't a total conservative but McCain is a TOTAL joke.

Go Huckabee! I wonder if the Democrats are paying him to stay in the race and distract the Republicans.

Why is it that only the liberals have time/inclination to leave nasty comments on their opponents' articles? Isn't there a tree you should be hugging or some tax dollars to waste or maybe some terrorist's rights you should be defending?
Puhlease. Get a life.

Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person in this 2008 race for President.
The media has definite shown a love affair with Senator Obama from
Day One!!! With the large number of independent voters crossing over to vote for
Senator Obama in the open primaries, one has to wonder if these same voters will vote the democratic ticket in November 2008. Seeking positive change check out
Hillary.

Yeah obama is leading.

YES WE CAN LOSE!!!! YES WE CAN!!!!!,

AND YES WE WILL…. if we nominate obama.

Clinton with all of her baggage is tied with mccain in most polls.

Obama with no """""""KNOWN BAGGAGE""""""""""""
Is barely leading.

Let the republican machine take care of that!!!!

Rock on McCain, If Obama is nominated you'll have my vote. Otherwise, don't count on my vote.

I believe Mike Huckabee is the best choice. It is sad to see state by state believe that John McCain is a true conservative. I admire the man for what he did, militarily. But he isn't going to be the best president. And he isn't going to be able to win against Obama's charm. Huckabee has both the platform and the charm.

I am glad to see him sticking to his guns and staying in the race. I proud to be a supporter. A lot can happen between now and the convention. Go Huckabee!

I AGREE WITH PAULA.

Time for Huckabee to admit that his only supporters are Southern Evangelicals and get out of this race. He should run for Pastor of the year, something he can actually win.

go huckabee youve almost caught romney

Go Huck! Everyone knows that even though it isn't mathematically possible for him to win the nomination, Jesus Christ will come down from heaven to install Mike as the GOP nominee!

The Hucksteer, huckaberry, he is the little red train in person, I think I can I think I can I think i can I think I can I think I can as he chugs up the big hill, never to get to the top.

Thank you, Governor Huckabee for giving us a CHOICE . . . AND for allowing ALL states to have a say in this democratic process.
For those who scoff, here's a visual . . . McCain's picture next to Obama's picture. Get the picture?
Let's keep the energy alive and let the process unfold!
You've got my vote, Mike Huckabee!

Bush has been such a complete failure as a president that the next Republican presidential candidate is their most liberal one.

Hi
Hillary acts like she dissimissed these victories with a whim; Let them eat cake then off with their heads.

All hale the soon to be deposed QUEEN Hillary.
best
Joe.

McCain-Huckabee '08!

He's a solid conservative. You just need to do some research on what it means to be conservative and then compare that to what his record truly is. Don't just listen to the soundbites on radio/TV.

I don't want to vote for McCain unless I have to. As long as I have a better choice than him I'll vote for that choice. Huckabee gives me that choice. If I have to vote McCain in november, that's fine. But while I have the choice for someone better I'll take it.

Waiting for March 4th in Texas.

Can you imagine electing a person who doesn't know when to jump off a sinking ship?

I still can't support McCain, with his open-borders advisers, especially Juan Hernandez. Advisers are there to help shape policy, not to be told what to do, as McCain said he is telling Hernandez in answer to a skeptic's question recently. McCain is not changing his positions to satisfy us conservatives, he's just saying in essence "You have no where else to go, so if you want the little bits of conservatism that I have to offer, get on board the straight talk express". I hope Huck keeps the pressure on, as Mitt should have, until McCain was forced to be take more conservative positions. I'm afraid the next four years look bleak for us Cons, as Obama would handily beat McCain, and Hillary is losing as of tonight.

Like so many others this Political Season I find I really like MIke Huckabee. I knew of his inspiring weight loss story before and that was about it.

Now, I am also a Democrat very leery of the intolerant people he might put on Federal Courts given his chance one day.

But he has a refreshing temperament and humor and a speaking style that is believable and engaging. He might bring a clever balance to McCain as a running mate unless he torques the Old Maverick too much by staying in this thing too long forcing needless spending on future Primaries.

True to my party bias McCain's candidacy against Obama will be Quixotic no matter who he picks but at least the GOP has the wisdom to nominate a Moderate and a Patriot as their Standard Bearer and best shot.

Republican party are the biggest losser.

Watch Romney come to save McCain from Huckabee by directing his delegates his way after Huckabee saved McCain from Romney. Wouldn't that be a great twist!

Pathetic

Admit you don't have a chance already… Romney was / is the Man Romney 2012!

Seriously Huck its only cause you were a preacher give it up already. You do not belong in politics, your absurd lip service doesn't help anyone!

McCain may not be the best choice, but he is the choice and we must rally behind him! Get out of the way and let McCain prepare for November!

It is such a shame that Huckabee had to stay in it and ruin Romney's chances. He did not bring anything good to this race, his two faced accusations… saying he was against negative ads at the very time they were running! Where are the conservative good ol' baptist preacher values in that? Regular old politician!

Go Huck people still need their voice

The only way to sugar coat the turd of having to vote for McCain this November is if Huckabee is chosen as Mac's VP. That is the only way I can vote for McCain. Plus, I feel the two of them would be unstoppable, pulling in right-leaning liberals, moderates, conservatives and evangelicals. Right now, Huck and Mac are still on good terms with each other. However, I am afraid Huckabee will overstay his welcome continuing staying in the primary- causing bad-blood between the two and, in the end, a trip back to Arkansas for Huck.

thanks for helping the Democrats lol

Why should Huckabee drop out for the good of the party? The party is clearly abandoning conservatives in favor of Mr. Illegal-immigration-campaign-finance-stem-cell-research McCain. Don't drop out, Mike. I want to be able to vote for at least one conservative presidential candidate.

Huckabee: Just give up. It's not going to happen.

Look where the conservatives have gotten us so far?

what in huckabee's record makes him the darling of the far right is beyond me. i vote for competence and courage, heck, the reagan conservatives were screwed over by the neocons with their big govt that mccain has always derided. that wing of conservativism he held up, the other guys let him down.

Some love from SA for Huckabee….best candidate for president for the US in a long time

He does know McCain has perfect scores from every pro-life lobbying group, right?

If the media would stop calling the nomination for McCain and ignoring or lying about how "impossible" it is for Huckabee to win (a brokered convention is far from impossible, numerically) he might have a better chance. That he's still fighting this competitively with a near-complete media blackout is amazing.

He's the last solid conservative standing. But Republicans have fallen asleep and are letting the media drive McCain to the battlefront, where Obama will slaughter him. Wake up, people.

McCain will have to go to work on convincing his party that he will be able to beat a fired up Democratic base this fall

"absolute pro-life candidate"

That's one of his main selling points??…get a clue Huckabee…

Go Huckabee? Is that cheering him on or asking him to drop out and stop giving the conservatives and evangelicals false hope?

The Republican "base" will stay home and pout like the immature people they are - and either Democrat will win the Presidency …. picking up the independents and moderate Republicans who are against the war, huge deficits and a recession on the horizon…

The incoming President will have a mell of a hess to clean up but hopefully enough of a Democratic majority so everyone can roll up their sleeves and get the country moving forward!

Huckabee seems to be like Clinton…living in denial and delusion.

We like Mike!!!!!!

He's the real deal.

It is mathematically impossible for Huckabee to win, but he would rather do, perhaps, terminal harm to the GOP rather than gracefully exit. If he continues this he will ensure a Republican defeat. Its time for the Republican party to pull together while the Democrats continue fighting.

Without Mike Huckabee the media would focus only on Obama and Hillery. They'd have little reason to publisize John McCain. We have many months to go with the democrats getting all the name recognition which will show results at the presidential vote leaving the republicans unknown by comparison. Every republican should be pleased that Huck and Mac are still earning press for the party. Let the run go as far as it can (hopefully to the convention) or be ready to have a well known democrat in the White House.

McCain is going to loose against the democrat's, can you say landslide? He is not acting like a true hero. The last time I checked most hero's do not flaunt their awards or show how tough they are or make jokes about what they endured. McCain is a coward hiding behind a hero status that no one in America would want to attack. If "Hero" automatically means you can be President then why is he our only choice. The true hero's are lying in hospital's getting little support from our government, forgotten by many and are only used as a political tool during election time. Our government is meant to change with new people and new idea's not a constant reshuffling of the desks. Everyone who thinks they can do better should have a right to supplying public service to this nation.

How does this help the democrats? they have their own problems since they won't have a nominee until after the convention… it dosn't hurt the republican party to have Huck stay in, in fact it keeps the media focus from shifting completly to the Dems … you might begin to think it was Clinton Vs. Obama for the Presidency if Huckabee wasn't keeping the Republican contest Honest in a whole lotta ways. Go Mike! your a good egg a lot of folks out here like what you are doing!

Huckabee needs to follow Romney's move and get out of the race, for someone who calls himself a true republican, he is now showing his true colors. At least Romney removed himself for the good of the party and he did it with such grace. I would love to see Romney give his delegates to McCain and stop this nonsense.

What can you say - he's a Christian. He admitted he couldn't see any way the numbers could add up for him to win. He's ignoring facts and praying for miracles. Shocking.

You people need to lighten up on the Huck. He is simply staying in the race long enough to see that Ron Paul does not get any traction with the base of the party! Then you will see the Huck bow out gracefully! The establishment won!

Eventually, those on the right will come to the realization that conservatism is deader than Ronald Reagan….

Why doesn't he just get out? There is no way he can win enough delegates, so why damage the Republican party's unity? This guy shows that he is a phony as far as Christian values are concerned—he has questionnable character, his morals are less than one would expect from a "minister"–consider his animal abusing son who must have learned that perverted behavior at home.

No Huckabigot for this voter!
Funny, how he is still behind Romney in Delegate count!

McCain/Romney in 08!

A religious nut on the one hand and a war-mongering nut on the other–this is the level to which the the Republican Party has fallen. What ever happened to staying out of peoples lives and being reasonably respectful of other countries?

You can have me back, Republicans, when you return to the philosophies you once cherished. Meanwhile, to hell with you.

oh yeah, I forgot Huckabee was still in the race. Thanks for the article.

I'm a Republican and I will voting for Barack Obama this November.

Huckabee is the best canidate left in the race. He has strong morals and a GREAT tax plan.

Thanks, Mike. Stay in the race as long as you can. You are helping the Democrats.

Obama in 08!

GOP had asked him to stay in order to determine the strength of the conservative wing across the nation.

Mike Huckabee is just a mole from the Democrats.

Huck needs to stop being a sore looser and drop out, let Mccain unite the part.

To Huck: Stop being a Jerk.

The scary thing about Huckabee is that he doesn't know when to stop, even when, short of a miracle, there is no way to win. Given that, he is the last thing we need running this country and the war in Iraq.

He's joke..doesn't believe in evolution which is fact like global warming

Give it up MIke. You gave it a go and now it's over. Don't be like the creepy uncle who won't leave the party and everybody is afraid to tell………

Honestly does the Bone-Headedness of this guy not remind anyone of Bush?

"I will not Drop out"
"I will not Pull Out"
"I did not tell a Lie"

Sorry i just had to throw that last one in (Clinton AND Nixon) Ha… That rhymes

I personally find him annoying and not a REAL conservative. However, it was pointed out to me that his continuation in the race brings attention to McCain and the republican primary, which is a good thing. Otherwise, I believe that Obama and Clinton would be all the coverage we would hear about. For that reason, I say keep going - he will lose anyway and it will make McCain a stronger candidate. I hope Senator Clinton stomps Obama into the ground - she is more qualified; she will never give up and it will be a very ugly ending to the democratic party - I love it!

America needs to have a choice—A yes we can (what? we don't know) or someone with a tax plan. Keep on truckin'

whether or not Huckabee quits, i still will not vote for a Republican. in the past years, the Republican party have become the party for the conservative religious right. i don't want a theocrat as President. We send our soldiers to Iraq to establish a democracy when we have people in this country wanting to establish a theocracy. it's time for the republican party to either go away or get rid of its dealings with the religious right!

It is time to hang up the gloves, Huckabee (or keep screwing your party).

So, if this is a representation of Huckabee's evaluation and decision making skills then we need to keep this guy as far away from the White House as possible. He kind of sounds like Jim Carrey in the movie 'Dumb and Dumber'- to paraphrase- "so, what your saying is I still have a chance".

he should start praying to that god of his…

Give it up Mike… the novelty is wearing off and you're becoming a PITA .

A solid conservative that wants to destroy our economy through the fair tax… Good luck buddy!

I didn't think Republicans believed in "choice".

Angela -

Bring as many friends as you can to the polling place this November to vote Democrat.

Teach those Republicans a lesson!

hehehee!

Obama '08

Every candidate likes to talk tax cuts because that is a popular vote getter. I would like to hear how they are going to get Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Iran, etc. to stop the talk of Jihad? How will the candidates replace rage with reason?

Vote Huckabee now and draft Newt at the convention

Yes, Kevin America should wake up- Conservative are wasting your money and they are the ones stealing your freedom- voting for any of them is tantamount to voting for martial law and war profiteering. We (America) are the rogue nation- we break every treaty we've signed, spurn International Law, launch unilateral attacks, drop bombs on civilians, and stand idly by and trade our freedom for so-called security while the national debt skyrockets- a vote for any conservative is a vote for more of the same. So yeah, wake up.

Why is CNN not updating Huckabee delegate counts, but is updating McCains? The actual count is McCain 804 and Huckabee 240 and that is without Louisiana's delegates included yet. Fair and equal treatment - no matter the count please.

It is refreshing to see the neocon movement fizzling out. I'm so sick of politicians on the right trolling for evangelical votes with that tired old anti-abortion non-issue.
Not one so called "pro-life" candidate has ever stopped one abortion after getting elected. Yet the evangelicals swallow that bait everytime.

So thanks for all the biblical references Huck, and the "Christian Leader" commercials. That may have worked in 2000, but we won't be fooled again.

I like Huckabee, but I wished he would have started his campaign out the way he is ending it. He might have done better. I admire him for staying in, the race isn't over until someone reaches the 1191, I just know he doesn't have a chance. I am thinking it might have McCain run a better campaign.

Obamacan 08

True Conservatives -

It's time for you to split with the Republican Party and form your own party. I hear so much belly-aching about how the Republicans aren't conservative enough, the Republicans don't share your morals.

Guess what? They don't.

They are only using you for votes. Show how much power those votes are worth and…

FORM A NEW PARTY!

Focus on the postive comments, it ain't over 'til it's over!!! I am going to vote for huckabee.

I'm surprised with his preacher background that he doesn't realize that all of this money he is spending could be put to better use feeding the poor and doing things that Jesus would probably do with the money instead of running a losing campaign that has no chance of winning.

Be a good Christian and give up your presidential bid for lent.

Go Huckabee. It isnt over yet.

Besides isnt Bush supporting McCain. who would want that has a choice?

Good for Huckabee. Worse things than an least some nominal competition for McCain. Plus, he keeps McCain's name in the spotlight, and not cede all media attention to Obama / Clinton.

It's not clear to me, though, what the outcome of a McCain / Obama campaign is.

Is McCain this year's Goldwater, destroyed in a landslide? He and Obama side-by-side is quite a contrast: age, color, outlook, charisma. McCain will be oldest elected first-term President, if he succeeds.

Or is Obama this year's Kerry? Unelectable in the red states, which have gained electoral votes since the last election.

We will see.

If McCain gets it he will not be able to stand up to either Hillary or Obama, he is not strong enough in his convictions and he's just plain too old. The only reason he is ahead is because he bought his way. People are uneducated about their decision and vote the name they here buzzing around the streets or see on TV. If that's all it takes to win this election is money, we have a serious problem on our hands America…early stages of communism? Huckabee represents the majority of us who work hard and don't expect to be able to wave dollar bills around to get our way (CNN on the receiving end, I'm sure) Mike is also a TRUE conservative many of you need to do research on what that means. While your at it do some research on "brokered convention".

I bet you all thought the Patriots had it this year too didn't you! ha! You might be just as shocked come this November.

I'm not voting for either of them but he's right- no one's won until they have 1,191 delegates. If he wants to stay in, he has every right to… plus it'll give us some time to sort this Hillary / Obama thing out.

I'd like to see the deed to the Republican Party because the far right seems to think they own it.

Give em what for Huckabee! Huckabee will keep McCain on edge, keep him spending money and looking over his shoulder at least for another few days.

At this point, what does it matter if it is McCain or Huckabee? Neither one is White House material.

PLEASE don't quit!!! The conservative Christians I pray are all behind you.

In prayer,

Daisy in Denver

HUCKA-BURGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huck has made enough money to live well the rest of his life. As long as he makes a move towards running again in four years, the money's his to keep. See why he's still running? And Bryan, really Newt? His lousy unamerican ideas are what got us into this mess. Anyone who claims this is a 'republic' and 'democracy is bad' needs to move to Liberia.

Enough crazy so-called 'conservatism.' We are supposed to be able to rely on the solid conservative base to hold us steady through more experimental liberal administrations, but now we are actually hoping to elect a liberal who will try to put us back on a more conservative course. Who's gone mad here, the left or the right? Or is it just us moderates who let you right-wing nuts steer our ship of state? Next time, put forward a good man, not a party hack like Huck who proclaims Jesus but doesn't seem to feel Him.

Every one is entitled to express their opinions; that is a hallmark of democracy. And many are posting their opinions here because of their democratic right. Huckabee and his supporters also have the democratic right to compete, up to the end if that is their wish. Anyone here with any kind of democratic impulse should at least recognize this and respect it. But sadly, many of the comments are displaying a "Jerry Springer" crowd mentality of booing and yehhhing like idiots. The decline of American culture is a terrible fact!!

It is likely that he cannot win. But has that stopped Ron Paul? Did that stop Ralph Nader? If he wants to run why shouldn't he. This is the United States of America.

Aww, Huckabee is so cute.

What, should Huck drop out now that the going gets rough, Republicans? That would mean we should also just flee Iraq the moment the fighting gets hard. Are we the party of coronations, covered heads and corrupt elections? NO!!! We are the voice of true freedom, less government, and strength despite the cynics. Or at least, the conservative movement still embodies those ideals. Maybe that's because Republicans have sold out to the lure of popularity. If conservatives voted their principles, Huckabee would win 100% of the remaining delegates and then, MATHEMATICALLY, he would be our nominee in the fall, and then, Dems, you have a REAL fight on your hands!!! Conservatives unite!!!

With all due respect to Governor Huckabee, he simply does not understand the big picture! A Democrat in the White House is a very real possibility. At this time of turmoil, he now must also stand aside, as did Governor Romeny, for the good of his party and the United States! Republicans must unite behind Senator McCain now in order to have time to make the strongest arguement for not surrendering to the terrorists as a Democrat surely will!

Huckabee is great. Nothing like comedy in elections. What people don't get is this. Huckabee knows full well he can't win. He is still in for one reason only and that is to beat Romney. Even several praries after he dropped out Huckabee is still losing to the Mormon which I know is just bitterly painfull. My money says he quits the minute he overtakes Romney.

And to those who say they will not vote McCain when he wins the Rep. Nomination? What a bunch of hypocrites. I can't stand the guy myself but I would at least like to have someone in office that vaguely represents my party than the alternitive. But you have shown your inteligence in your posts so it is time to face the music. We're all doomed.

Please God I pray that you intervene and that you expose the condition of Obama's heart. God you said that the proud will be brought down and the humble will prevail. God I pray that you have mercy on America and forgive us for all of our short comings. God we need you grace and mercy.

Please open our eyes to see what is true. May we not make our decision to vote based on the color of ones skin, but that we take this election seriously and vote for the right man or woman for office. I pray that all votes are founded on a GOD giving conviction of the heart.

Go Huckabee!! I will not vote for Macain if he's the GOP. He's just as another democrat!!! That's why he won on Dist of Columbia and Maryland. Those states have always being taken by democrats. No matter what people say, we know the truth - you are the only true coservative among the candidates! God bless you! I'm praying for you! Prayer can move mountains!!!!

Mary, regarding your "sinking ship" comment . . . The CAPTAIN always goes down with the ship.

"Oh, I think I can; I wish I can; I know I can."

What an Idiot.

1. Do the math. 2. Figure the impact to the party of staying in. 3. Withdraw. 4. Go on with life.

Go Huckabee!! I will not vote for Macain if he were the GOP. He's just as another democrat! That's why he just took the dist. of Columbia and Maryland. Those states have always been taken by democrats. No matter what other people say, you are the only true conservative. We are praying for you!! Prayer can move mountains!!! God bless you!

Obama is the one for this great nation and will do what it takes to get this country back and respected around the world. McCain will simply continue the policies of the Bush administration and that is exactly what America doesn't want and doesn't need. Open your eyes and see the light. Obama is a friend of the Left and the Right and everyone between. McCain simply put will have the toughest fight of his life when we get the the general election.

Huckabee is right, the republican voters are free to have a choice until the end of the process…
that's the way democracy works (even it's gonna be really hard for him to win).

There are moderate conservatives and conservative conservatives. There aren't enough con. conservatives out there to be able to win an election. For the sake of the country re: the economy and safety they should vote McCain. They can still go to church and do their thing there.
Too late to vote for Romney to do any good. He should at least be v.p. but McCain has to choose someone from the South. Haley Barber?
I can just hear the libs screaming if McCain chose Powell or Condi for v.p. I wonder who Obama would choose if he had the choice himself and not have someone pushed on him by the Party.
Looks like we might have the choice in Nov between someone who was rated the most conservative and the most liberal in the Senate. Not hard for me to figure out which to vote for. And I won't stay home to cut off my nose to save my face. Who ever is the slickes talker or speech giver doesn't mean anything to me. We already had one slick willy from Ark.

Attaboy, Mike. Don't quit - God is on your side in this election. And remember - this is God's own country.

I am an independent who happens to be a registered Republican. I will not vote for John McCain in the general election. I am still supporting Huckabee and I am thankful for an alternative.

Huck believe in yourself you can get there, i like you both i love obama

I really don't understand why he even bothers. McCain will be the nominee.

Huckabee is the man and Mcain is the no where near conservitive he is so liberal its unreal i'm glad Huckabee is staying in we need a true conservitive as the republican nominee

Did anyone realize that Lincoln only got 10% of the delegates, but then won the convention and nomination? Huckabee still stands a chance to win. He'll have my vote.

the guy has every right and privlige to stay in the race to the end. does not look possible to win. of course Huckster is still a clown. maybe trying to get a job with the geezer if he wins the general election.

Strangely, Hillary is looking more like Huck each day ….

Huck- waiting for a "miracle". It's already happened. The miracle is that the GOP didn't bow to the religious right and hand Huck the nomination.

Think Mr. Huckabee about Europe? Then he have to stay!

Jeremy, you are a total tool.

ATTENTION HUCKABEE: It's annoying that you're still in the race (if I can even call it that). Please follow Romney's good example and think of the troops before yourself. Hey, that's an idea: putting your fellow man in front of yourself. Where have I heard that before?

I love how people just dont understand how politics work. Huckabee is preparing for his 2012 presidential run. He is keeping his name out there so in 4 years people will remember him instead of coming out of nowhere. Politics is a game like chess, you have to move your pieces into position before you can win. People will remember he fought very hard and didnt quit….unlike Mitt Romney. Those who call Huckabee a loser…just dont get it.

I believe that McCain's 100 years to victory plan in Iraq is going to completely get clobbered by either Democrat.

Sen. Dole was an excellent choice…right?

And yeah…I'm a Christian and an American….Obama wants to bring Faith into the discussion….why not?

Go Huck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mccain will get slaughtered in the general, romney on the ticket will just make things worse. and for those of you who think romney got out for the good of the party are delusional. it all came down to MONEY he spent 35 million of his own money and still wasn't winning, anne told him to get out so he didn't spend all of his kids inheritance.
huckabee is our only hope for victory in the fall

How about this for ticket: Clinton/Huckabee. They both seem to major in miracles, the former with her ridiculous health care plan, the latter with his primary run!

OBAMA/Edwards 08

wow, Jeremy. It's wierd to actually hear someone who knows what they're talking about. Bush has tarnished the republican name, and I know you think it couldn't get worse than Bush, but if McCain gets in you'll see worse. He talks about being in Iraq for 100 yrs if neccesary!? Are you kidding me. Who is honestly in favor of paying for that. I'm not usually a fond of the democrats but if Obama walks the walk like he talks the talks then go Obama.

Obama > McCain + Hilary

Why not vote for Huckabee? Instead of having a fascist islamic radical in office, we can have a fascist Christian radical in office. Anyone who votes for Huckabee can't complain in the future for having their own religious or civil freedoms trampled on..since they are voting for someone who wants to do that now to people not of his faith and belief system.

I think the reason people are afraid of Mike Huckabee is that he is a "Fair Tax" guy. This does not sit well with Washington lobbyists or the big spenders in Washington. Ask yourself why a true "pro-life" conservative does not get more respect from the fiscal conservatives. If people did a little more research they would see what a terrible mistake they are making to choose Obama over Hillary and McCain over Huckabee.

I find it comical that the very same people that say it is over for Huck, are the same ones that are kicking and dragging us into an un-winnable military occupation of a people that meant us no-harm?! They do not know when over is over.

The democratic process provides for his staying in the race and giving the electorate a clear choice, a wavering liberal to conservative (that has a poor record for supporting military members and their families) to a true-blue conservative that , 'walks the talk.'

Hello America;

You haters need to go RESEARCH Obama's positions and stop crying.
His Website, Library of Congress, The Web, News station archives Etc.
Their's plenty of serious information on Obama, Hillary and McCain .
Your not going to get it in a news flash or stomp speeches.
If you really want to know about his positions.
Go to Obama's website and click on the issues link. You will find that not only
does he have an extremely detailed plan for each issue, but also that there are
more issues addressed and much more thoroughly so than on Senator Clinton's
website.

Check his site out. if you want to know the truth, don't be afraid.

Obama 08

Go Huckabee Go………God is with you…..Stay in the race….I'm glad you're not a quitter.Huckabee stays in the race for the sake of his supporters.Thank you very much,Mr. Huckabee for staying in the race.You're the only candidate who can beat hilllary or obama….McCain needs to drop out now.He's not conservative…He's a democrat in republican clothing.Go,go,go…Mr. Huckabee!!!!!!!

So Mike Huckabee is "pro-life"? Funny, I could have sworn that he supports
the war in Iraq!

All my comments are awaiting moderation, but when will a moderate come along to moderate them? Moderation in all things, especially moderation.

Huckabee pretty much knows that eh is going to lose to McCain, but I think right now he's trying to see how many delegates he can get before McCain gets the nomination. I think that he is really just trying to delay the inevitable right now.

is anyone else out there wondering what i am: huckabee stands no chance of getting the republican nomination, so WHY is he still holding on for dear life in this race? is it maybe the fame? the chance to be obtain the VP nomination? or is he perhaps planning to run on a new-style, independent, evangelical ticket in the fall??? — that would be terrifying. it would also solidify a democratic win in november. so i hope that's exactly what mr. huckabee does!

You are our country's best bet

Please study the issues before you make a comment. I have never read such ignorance before–shame on most of you. Huckabee is my choice–arts in education, fair tax, end childhood obesity, pro-life, stand up for what you believe in, don't be a quitter (as some would suggest) but most of all a true man of God.

if obama wins iam going to vote for john maccain i he is too liberal

What the hell is a Flat Tax anyway?

I'm tired of hearing all you people say that Huckabee is not a conservative. Like Rush Limbaugh. How do you figure? He is totally pro-life,marriage, gun…..all the social issues. And as far as taxes go, he is the only one I see promoting the fair tax…..making him the most conservative on that too. I think that if McCain takes it, he will not stand a chance against Hillary, or deffinately Obama. I dislike both of those candidates, but the important distinction, is that their party likes both of them. No real Republican can stand McCain. He is a liberal backstabber, with a very poor record as a senator. He talks about he is so tough on illegal immigration; look at his state: Worst immigration problem in the nation. On the Economy: second worst housing market in the nation. On the war? Well, he is way over the top on that. Global warming? I doubt his McCain Lieberman fuel tax will solve that problem as most of the polutants that "cause" global warming are not from vehicle emmisions, but rather power plants, clothing manufacturers and other industrial operations. So think again before you check the McCain box on the ballot in the upcoming primaries.

I applaud Mike Huckabee for staying in the race to the end. I think anything can happen at the convention. Who knows whether all those delegates will vote for the candidate their state wanted? I think Mike has a wonderful idea for tax reform. I've said for years the only way to fairly tax people is with a national sales tax. I may not agree with Mike on all the issues but on this one issue alone I'd vote for him for President.

Huckleberry needs therapy. Unless we see the 2nd Coming, this dude is dead. And rightfully so. Anyone who thinks we can ditch the IRS or the Internal Revenue Code with the stroke of a magic wand either a moron, liar, or thinks that there is one born every minute.

Hey Huckleberry, go home and lie to your congregation.

Huckabee may not be a true conservative, but he is a whole lot more conservative than McCain. The sadest part of this whole process is that neither Republican canidate has a shot against Clinton or Obama. So we are all going to be left forking over huge sums of our paychecks to pay for socialist health care and other liberal pitty parties for the "POOR"

May I ask what is more bigoted than crying "bigot" for no reason. If you knew anything about anything you'd realize how misplaced your use of such a word is in this context.

Huckabee sort of reminds me of Gomer Pyle now; blissfully meandering along in his sunny disposition, refusing to acknowledge the inevitable. He can give lip service all he wants to providing an alternative choice, but the cold hard truth is this is just self serving on his part, and the Republicans better unite for the fight of their lives when they face Mr. Obama in November.

Yes mike should clearly get out but why is no one talking about Ron Paul that guy was finished long time ago and still in the race

Have we all finally figured out that this guy just can't give up a microphone and the limelight? He's just a theocratic huckster, and he's hurting the party.

Nicole-

Two things-

One: Cheney is not running for anything, so to say you don't want anyone like Cheney in is invalid.

Two: You say hunting is an American tradition. Didn't they start the fox hunts in England? Correct me if I am wrong, but that is in Europe.

Huck, you're outta Luck.

Time to pack up your Revival Tent and go home. America needs a President, not a religious figurehead.

When did conservatism equal Christian/Social conservatism? Huckabee is as conservative as Bush… as in not at all that much other than a religious conviction.

While I question McCain's commitment to Free-Market economics, he has more consistently shown a commitment to limited government and a commitment to protect our freedoms with a big stick. Huckabee is a Bush-like big government guy who has also derided Bush's foreign policy.

I don't see how Huckabee could be the conservatives choice.

Huckabee is going for the VP spot. Hopefully McCain won't be foolish enough to give it to him.

I think Huckabee staying in this race is very admirable! I understand that the chances of him winning is slim to none, but the states that have not voted yet deserve a choice. Huckabee has been a true competitor because he has pushed on through adverse conditions. Despite what Romney said in his "great" speech when he suspended his run, he ultimately quit because he put millions of his own money into his campaign and it did NOT pay off!

Whoever gets the nomination (highly favorable for McCain) we have to unite behind and get them elected to office come Nov!!!!!

Go Mike Go! …Don't look back…run the race till you reach the finish line!

Wasn't he the candiate talking about needing to change the 10 Commandments to the 7 commandments???And he calls himself a a True Conservative???I think he uses religion as a tool to get votes…How can anyone call themselves a christian and say u need to change the 10 Commandments..

Go Huckabee. I'm glad you left people a choice. At least there is once candidate who isn't afraid to believe something, have morals and stick to them even if it's not always popular. Gotta respect anyone who stands up for what they believe in. It's rare today.

Everyday he is in the race helps the eventual democratic nominee Mr. Obama. Keep it going Huck, you are doing a great job!

Anyone who doesn't understand science well enough to acknowledge the natural process of evolution has no business leading a civilized society.

Have you ever noticed that alot (not all) of the non-huckabee supporters say such mean and nasty things about Huckabee…that is so Not like his character. What it boils down to is that God is going to raise up whoever he wants to as president, and God does hear the cries of His people. He will not forsake us. I do believe that many people will be confounded one day with what God does, or allows to happen. Whatever does happen, God is still in control. I pray God would have mercy on America, and bring us back to Him on our knees and forgives us of our sins! I pray that, in wrath, that God would remember mercy!!

Bless you all!!
(even you cold-hearted ones! :O) )

LORI from TEXAS
GO HUCK!!! Can't wait to vote for you in TEXAS!!!!
PS - for you unbelieving ones…God DOES do "miracles"…my son was healed of a brain tumor and my sister healed of cancer! Seek and ye shall find!!

How else is Mike going to rake in millions of dollars? He needs to do this so he can live high off the hog, hehehe no slight of the razorbacks intended, just like those in his party that do so to the detrement of working people accross America. Once he drops out of the campaign I have the perfect job for him, a greeter at Wal Mart for at 6.25/hr.

If Obama is the nominee, i'll do a write in for Hillary. Hillary has the most experience and knowledge to handle all the problems this country is facing now and in the future. I know it won't be easy and she will need our help and support.
We don't need a "Rock Star" running this country which has had the help of his "Groupie's" votes.
GO HILLARY ! WE NEED YOU !

Regarding the presidential candidates, your website is fully representing all of the candidates. I am questioning your media coverage of the presedential race. Why not report the complete stories that are involving the United States presedential race? Candidates Paul and Huckabee are still in the hunt, you should be reporting there stories as well.

dear gov huckabee, i am a true democrat and a firm believer obama will go all the way…but i'm so against mccain's beliefs and poor attitude i'm planning on donating $100 to your campaign to help you defeat that pig !
best of luck,
frank

your comment is awaiting moderation THEY HAVE BEEN MODERATING MY FOR OVER THREE WEEKS. NONE HAVE APPEARED. THIS IS NOT FREEDOM.

Well this is the last comment i'll waste my time writing. I will gladly vote for McCain, but will vote democrat if he chooses any religious wing nut for vice president.

A vote for Huckabee is a vote for real CHANGE!

The extremist right-wingers and the extreme left-wingers need to form their own little political parties so the mainstream Republican and Democratic parties can get on with the business of making America better, stronger and more independent. Extremists can find happiness in Mexico (left wingers) and Canada (right wingers).

Mike I respect the platform you stand behind. You speak as one who is knowledgable of the needs of the people and the principles that we should as a people represent to the world. I would rather have a David in the White House than a King Saul. If a Saul wins ( who had no true faith or trust inGod) we deserve God's discipline and you can wait on God to lead us on another day. If you win stand firm in the trust of God. Remember David before he slew Goliath, God trained him with just a sling and a stone to sleigh lions and bears. The wrestle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the darkness of this age, against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. The comparison is just that Trust in God. Whether it was David or Believers today God can be trusted when we depend, no matter what the outcome.

How can any of you call this man a loser? Because he wants to give the American people a choice? The odds are against him, I understand that. But it sure says something that hes staying in this thing.

Brandon in San Antonio had to post five messages in a row to put down Huckabee and advance his man Romney. Gues those grapes are real sour - right, Brandon?

Romney quit the race bcause in spite of all his money, no one was voting for him in sufficient numbers to win the nomination - pure and simple.

good luck with that! :() ha ha i thnk i might die of laughter..pfffffftttt

I think Huckabee's followers are kind of simple minded. I don't know them personally, but the way he advertises and some of his statements tell me that he is simple minded too. I laugh at some of the stuff I've heard come out of his mouth. "I majored in miracles"?!? Come on…that shouldn't be coming out of a person's mouth who plans on throwing over a landslide of votes for other cadidates.

Huckabee is the only chance. McCain will never beat Obama. McCain is too old and frail Obama will win against McCain.

Obama will destroy America with waistfull social programs. Meanwhile the terrorist will raise armies against us. It will be the end of the United States, This is the change Obama speaks about. GOD HELP US!

Huckabee can only win if he goes super-negative! Accuse McCain of escaping the North Vietnamese after a few months and then going AWOL to Thailand for a few years before he reported back to the US Army. Sure, it's bat-guano crazy, but it might confuse enough idiot Republican voters to make a difference.

Unless, Huckabee is willing to smear McCain with filth, he has no chance to win. His ongoing candidacy is mere hubris.

Huckabee is running for 2012 nomination and bragging rights. Bragging rights that he got more votes than Romney. Huckabee doesn't care about the republican party, it's all about Huckabee.

Jesus doesn't move mountain Miracle Man… bulldozers do!

Maybe Huckabee should be Obama's running mate. They both rely on hope and prayer. I am more realistic I believe in strength and perseverance. McCain has both. Hang it up Huckabee. Lights out anyone.

Go for it Mike! Why all the pressure about Mike quitting the race? You don't hear the media pressuring Ron Paul to quit when he is way behind all of them?

go man. u may win.

Mcain is so old… he could fall over between now and next november….
anybody that thinks Huckabee is a loser or crazy….

rethink…… what if mcain does fall over…. then who's crazy like a fox?

Where's Chuck Norris when you need him Huck

You don't quit anything!!! Didn't you learn that in kindergarten!! He's the only candidate that can beat Hillary or Barack! Believe me I know him personally, he married my husband and I 22 years ago! Rock on Mike!!
