I like to see an under dog try as hard as he can to make a seemingly impossible come from behind win, even if he looses the effort is inspiring.

One would think a Vietnam vet would appreciate Americans excersizing their freedom of choice in picking their nations potential leader.

Go for it, this is what this country is really all about.

But I have to admit – I do admire his resolve.

It is NOT currently mathematically impossible for him to win the nomination. Mathematically implausible – yeah. Impossible – no...

He has the choice to stay in as long as he wants, and as long as the funds hold out. He has chosen to make a contest of it until the winner actually *wins* – instead of ceding the victory to the winner projected by the media. That is a reasonable choice.

I predict that as soon as McCain officially hits the 1,191 number; then, and only then, will Huckabee concede defeat. If he stays in the race after that point – yeah – he's being egotistical. But up to that point – he's just playing the hand he was dealt – hoping to win the pot with a pair of twos.

I did like the one reply, Huckabee drops, McCain drops and Ron Paul is the nominee! There is STILL Hope for America!

With their money problems, they could be finished. Ron Paul has the cash to keep going.

Reality – Huckabee had a great record as Governor and would still be governor if he wanted to be. "Christian Leader" and "against abortion" are two excellent reasons to vote for him; you just happen to disagree and run with your own "herd". So be it. Just shows this country will continue to be divided regardless of what any candidate thinks. That's reality.

I think it's obvious that I support Huckabee, but I am also a Rep. and will not waiver regardless of who the nominee is. We, as Rep., have to unite because the Dem. have and will continue to gain momentum from their slams on Bush etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if Huckabee has his buddy, Pat Robertson, organizing prayer groups to send curses to McCain.

I believe on General Election day there will be not one red state in the union.

He won't accept a V.P. position for a candidate that has little chance of defeating the Democrats. He needs to begin the 2012 process.

The man has guts a Charisma! Apparently the the Republican Elite are terrified of him. He is a breath of fresh air, someone with honesty and integrity that can also communcate!

If you listen to what he's saying, his intent is not to cause a rift but to provide a CHOICE. He is trying to give people a voice to speak out regardless of how effective it will be. Personally I think it's a notable action on his part. There are more voices to the republican party than just those who sit in places of power.

You write:

""Huckabee could still be a write in vote, did anyone think of that? Or he could still run as an Independant candidate. Why should he get out of the race at all? This is the peoples choice not the medias!"

Question No. 1: What race ?? Even if McCain has stil formally not won, with Romneys endorsement he is very close. But it is a fact that
Huckabee has already LOST and therefore he is not racing against anybody. And this was the will of the American people

Question No. 2: How you write in anybody if another has the majority
of votes pledged to him ??

Enough of this voting for the lesser of two evils.

So he doesn't have to get 1191, he only has to take enough delegates away from McCain, to send it to GOP Convention. With only one winner take all state left at the polls, Huckabee is guaranteed to take atleast a share of the delegates in every other state.

I'm amazed at all the Romney supporters that forgot the evil doing McCain did a day or two before the Florida primary. He straight out lied about Romney's stance on setting dates for troop withdraw. He did it again not just to Romney, but to all of you at Reagan's Library. We all knew he was lying. You knew it and his face showed it. Now, you're all going to jump on the McCain bandwagon??

Many people before us died fighting for what they believed in......we sit around flip flopping on our convictions because "THE" Party tells us to.

I support Huckabee, but I have GREAT respect for Ron Paul supporters too. They never give up. They believe in something and they stand for something whether the majority takes them seriously or not. Ask yourself....what do YOU stand for? And then don't talk about it. Live it.

Romney has done the right thing to get out of the race and help McCain fill his warchest for the general election.

If nothing else, he is now a figure head in the Republican party which will only help his political career in the future. He's the only candidate that I have felt I could get behind from the very beginning, because he doensn't make excuses or hide who he is and what he stands for. I'll vote McCain if he is our candidate after convention, but I'm still in Huck's Army until then.

What's everyone so afraid of? Come on already, give the people a chance to vote. Why should a few large states (mostly blue anyway) who vote early be anymore important than Wisconsin, Texsas, Ohio, and all of the rest?

Huckabee probably has two main goals at this point...

1. Gain enough delegates to make him second place in total delegate count (this must happen before McCain reaches the magic number).

2. Continue to get this name in the news and media. If he wants to compete in 2012, he has to establish himself now.

I guess my point is that if Mike Huckabee continues to do better than expected, it is not hurting his reputation or status in the GOP.

Be honest with yourself and the nation.

Please.

My opinion....Huck is in it for HIMSELF more than for the voters and AMERICA!

Huckabee isn't bothering me or the folks in the states that picked him over Romney or McCain and the also-rans. He has carried a number of states. To that end, Huckabee raises valid points about the states needed to carry the final election.

I had supported your attitude until now.

But after the endorsement by Romney it seems that your position to continue in the primaries seems to be damaging for the GOP by distracting money and resources otherwise used for the General Election to this useless internal fighting.
This will certainly not improve your possibilities to ensure you a position in a future McCain administration !!

People I am speaking see your attitude as a bitter reaction because
Romney didn't endorse you or at least stayed neutral and that you want to show that in spite this you continue to have some support, for
your self-satisfaction. I HOPE THEY ARE WRONG !!

I also hope that after next Tuesday, where you will jointly with PAUL play the role of the gatherer of the symbolic protester votes, you will do the right think for yourself and withdraw !!!
