I never thought I'd be part of something as big or as important as this race. I made several small financial donations to Mike's campaign along the way, but I felt especially compelled to contribute more after hearing McCain's high-profile endorsements, one after another, attempt to convince people like myself that coronation is in the best interest of the Republican Party. As far as I’m concerned, McCain has not yet achieved the number of votes needed to have the party’s nomination and coronation is not acceptable or necessary to winning in November – all that double-talk is hockey. What we need is someone who is willing to dig-in heals and put up a tough fight against our November opponents; we need someone who shows true grit in the eyes of socialist slogans like “Yes We Can” and can defeat a party that is fraught with strong rhetoric promising its followers the world using other people’s money… I would rather loose against my opponent with pride rather than go down in shame having accepted defeat. Each vote for Mike, in my view, demonstrates the power of determination as if the last moment on this planet depended on it.

I am a Huckabee supporter because I believe he has the most integrity, intelligence and creative answers to the problems of our nation, like health care, education, and the economy. The fair tax alone would be great for our country!!!!

There are so many misconceptions and lies out there about Huckabee, all stemming from an election year in Arkansas, when the largely Democratic state tried to find dirt on him to keep him out of office. It didn't work, as he was re-elected twice. Anyone can bring charges to an ethics committee, but that doesn't make them true. The bottom line is none stuck.

The story of his son, who went on to become an eagle scout, has been concocted. There was a mangy dog that appeared "mad" and attacking. Huckabee never tried to stop any investigation or to protect his son from consequences of the incident.

Huckabee did not pardon a rapist. That was done by the parole board appointed by Bill Clinton and Guy Tucker before him. As for his other decisions as governor, he looked carefully at each of the many cases and followed his judgment after studying all the information, rather than just doing what was "in his best political interests." I respect that.

Over a million abortions a year is about right, because there have been 40 million since Roe vs Wade in Sept. 1973. To those who say a woman should have a choice, what about her unborn baby's choice? Someone needs to speak up for these precious ones. The question is when does life begin? If it begins at conception, then it is murder when a baby is aborted. Have you looked at the detail in advanced 4D ultrasounds of today? It breaks my heart to think 40 million of these tiny lives have been snuffed out since Roe vs Wade.

Go to mikehuckabee.com and judge for yourself about his record as governor and his ideas for our country. Read his stand on the issues and listen to his videos and I think you too will see his intelligence, sincerity and leadership abilities. Our country needs Mike Huckabee!!!

I agree with keep us safe texas. I worry about any candidate who tells the world that we need to bring our troops home. Terrorists will claim victory and make plans on how to attack a defeated nation who will not come after them. I fear the possibility of this happening.

Great to hear the Huckabee has not given up on America!! We need Him!!

Check out Truth Squad on Mike Huckabee's web site and then make your judgements on the ethics violations.

IF A DEM WINS THE WHITE HOUSE………..I WILL PREDICT A TERROIST ATTACK IN THREE YEARS , IN THE USA

MARK MY WORDS

Terry,
Huck can win if those who like Huckabee best actually voted for him. Don't believe anyone who tells you who you're GOING to vote for. Vote for who you want. You're an independent American, aren't you? Don't be fooled into obeying someone campaigning against your man just because they say your man won't win. You have the power to choose who wins and who doesn't.
If you like Obama best, that's great, and I hope you go vote for him. But if you truly like Huckabee best, your vote will help him be elected. Be independent and make your mind up for yourself, without obeying the dictations of pundits and politicians. Who are they anyway, to think they have a voice worth more than yours or mine?
I thought Huck wouldn't have won my state, but I voted for him anyway. I'm from Iowa, and he definitely won my state.
I thought he wouldn't win Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, or Kansas, but I made calls to people in those states for Huckabee anyway. And he won those states. The polls said he wouldn't win in those states, but we supporters did what we could to get the word out about Mike, and he won in those states. And we haven't stopped.
We still have a voice, if we're willing to use it.
Please choose Huckabee if you like him best, and your vote may give your state to Huckabee too. Thanks, Terry, for your honesty.

IM A 29 YEAR AFR AMER MAN AND BELIEVE HUCKABEE TO BE BEST CANIDATE IN THE RACE THE GUY MAKES A LOT OF SENSE THAT CAN'T BE DENIED.

Stay in Huck, I want to see how many people have no desire to vote for McCain. Read my lipps, McCain can not win against the Dems.

I love Huckabee's shirt. I actually had intentions of voting for him, I really love his conservative ideas. Since he cannot win I have decided to go with Obama. Obama 08

Mike Huckabee!!!
He is the only men who can truly bring good change for America!
He is smart, he is full of humor, he loves God and he knows what he is talking about. And …..he is a winner, he won't give up.
To all the Huckabee-enemies: the more you hate him, the more you give bad comments about him, the more I am convinced the he will be the next President.

Mike Huckabee is qualified and justified in continuing his pursuit for the Republican nomination. He has run a clean campaign and he has the qualifications both in experience and in his ideas on how to change America for the better. Since Mike Huckabee has stayed in the race, he has allowed many more Americans thier right to vote and voice thier opinion. A right not to be taken lightly or to be strong armed out of. For those who are making negative comments about Mike Huckabee, I think your time would be bettter spent trying to find something positive to say about the candidate you support. I support Mike Huckabee. A vote for Mike Huckabee is a vote for a better America.

ABORTION!

Sebastian Germany & sensible Cape Coral FL discuss abortion

What happens if I'm against abortion AND and I'm against forcing women to have babies that they don't want?

Can't I be against both?

Although I will not vote for him (I'm voting for Obama), I give Huckabee credit. I know I wouldn't be able to stay in a race that show's it's practically impossible to win.

As for his speech in the Cayman Islands, I have no problems with that. Hey, I'd take advantage of my increased public profile while I had the opportunity.

My vote is for HUCk Huck HUCKABEE. Won't vote for Mc Cain who's song is Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran. Huck for the 44th President of the USof A.

I am concerned that although thousands of people did not vote in the Primaries in Florida based on agreed terms "Hillary" and the democratic party; but, now that "SUPER TUESDAY" did not give Hillary Clinton what she expected, she is now requesting that the votes in Florida be counted regardless of those that believed that ethics ruled and stayed home and did not vote. Is this the kind of President that you can trust to uphold the "LAW", "RULE", "POLICY" and "ETHICS"; no wonder we are in war that the people did not authorize.

This guy is great. Doesn't need a telepromtor to say what he is thinking. He speaks his truths. A true Conservative. Perhaps an old Republican. Haven't seen this in years. He is a breath of fresh air. MCCain and Company are threatened by his honesty. They try to narrow the delegate gap. I hope he keeps going until the end. Maybe he will get a Senate seat in the Fall. Wouldn't it be great to see him in our Government? Huck has got to go ahead from me. My vote is for HUCKABEE.

what a joke hucklebee is.

This is the candidate of the delusional.
If you believe humanity was created 5,000 years ago by a supernatural event, stand behind this candidate so we can all see your ignorance.

Huck is the last Republican running so he has our vote.

It's great that Huck can let his hair down and crack jokes. But I want a president that has more substance than style. Huck doesn't have much substance, and would be better off as a talk show host. He's an affable guy, but is not presidential material.

Hey sensible Cape Coral FL!

It´s not a gender specific question: Both men and women are responsible for a choice to carry out abortions. But let nobody think that 34,000,000 (!) women in the US during the last 30 years have been raped or where in life danger and therefore carried out an abortion. Mike Huckabee fights for those babies because there screaming is not heard in the US anymore.Abortion has become a big industry in the US. That´s why so many politicians refrain from addressing this issue - not Huckabee. It´s not about blaming s.o. but about stopping a crime.

Keep it up Huckabee! Go Huckabee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huckabee continues to 'enjoy watching himself' in the spotlight as he says and continues to split the votes instead of taking a courageous and honorable stand like Romney to help solidity the party and step down and stand behind McCain.

Who really loves and cares about this country, and who is bowling?

Tells a lot about a mans character.

McCain / Romney

Huckabee2012

Hillary needs to move to kandahar o8

I gotta say that even though I completely disagree with his platform and system of beliefs (I'm an Obama supporter), Huckabee sure is a likable guy. I can't think of any presidential candidate that has been this 'real' (approachable, witty, relaxed etc…) since Bill Clinton in 92′. I don't think he's being ignorant in staying in the race or trying to be some sort of spoiler. I think he is using his influence to shape the campaign (similar to Ron Paul, just more mainstream) and to force McCain to appeal/recognize the conservative base.

Bush won because of the evangelicals and religious groups. I wonder about Huckabee real character. I just can't buy it.

time to take a bow huck…

get out before you really show your corrupted side!

Slow news day, eh?

I'm an Obama supporter, but I do like Huckabee. At least he gives the Rep. a choice. McCain is a stone cold nut! His "my friend" rhetoric simply makes me sick.

If you can't manage stress on the campaign trail you surely won't in the White House.

Thanks Mike Huckabee for continuing to represent a persecuted voice.

Huckabee needs to look inward and ask himself how he can take people's campaign donations just to live the good life. He either knows he is out of the race or is more ignorant than he looks. He should not be taking money from people who give on blind faith, just to have a good time and be a star for awhile. Jesus would not have done that.

Google Huckabee and ethics violations.

To Amanda C.

I so agree with you. It amazes me and it shouldn't, that those who find fault with Mike Huckabee seem to be worried about a man whom they profess doesn't have a chance. Additionally, for all those anti Mike folks out there, grow up, get a life and by all means vote for whomever you choose. Most Huckabee opponents don't have a clue. Poison criticism versus fact, hearsay versus research is not an optimal methods of choosing a political candidate. The more I watch this race the more I'm reminded of the voting process for King and Queen of the Senior Prom. Truly sad. I wish there were more seriously thoughtful offerings about any of these candidates. I'm sure there are stupid anti Obama, Clinton, McCain, Romney, etc commenter’s out there, yet it is my hope that more realistic dialog will take place.

man–suddenly I am turning from Obama supporter to Huckabee supporter..am i going mad…

Huckabee is the only candidate not being paid by us–the taxpayers–to run for President. Though the other candidates are having a breeze on the stump while we work to pay their plush healthcare benefits and pay them for the votes they are NOT making on the Senate floor, Huckabee still has to squeeze out money to pay for his mortgage and his healthcare plan. He, in fact, makes speeches to these places in order to pay his bills. And also to pay Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton and John McCain for the service they are NOT rendering to America because they are choosing to lift themselves in the polls rather than fight for what they talk about in the Senate.
(In fact, Mr. Cafferty of the Situation Room reported recently that John McCain chose not to vote on the Stimulus Package in the Senate. Why, might I ask? Might I suggest that his poll-ratings could have taken a hit had he chosen yay or nay? He exhibited a grand amount of strength and "Straight Talk" there, didn't he? I think not.)
The Cayman Islands speech was planned months ago, and in my opinion is not news. At the very least, it's news because it shows that Huckabee is the only one still having to work and pay taxes as a regular citizen.
Even Ron Paul is campaigning on the taxpayers money because he is a congressman.
In other words, "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia", no public interest group paid for Huck's trip to the Cayman Islands. You could say his mortgage inspired the trip.

Moe, NY wrote: I am looking forward to a lot of the current… administration being brought to justice

Justice is too good for them.
I say we start off with a little waterboarding, then maybe a few consectutive deployments in Iraq, follow it up with a year living in a FEMA trailer then maybe having them readout the names of all the soldiers that have died in Iraq, everyday for the rest of their lives.

"Hopefully, the Republican Party has no immediate future in America…not until they clean up their act anyway. They have a lot of explaining to do…from Bush right on down. I am looking forward to a lot of the current (including the ones that already have jumped ship, or have been ousted) administration being brought to justice for their corrpution and lies. "

What a bunch of Hoo Ha! I'm sure that there has never been corruption or lies in the Democratic party.

I mean, I'm not one to vote for a person because of their party, but because of their qualifications. However, if I were going to vote because of party, I would want something more than "corruption" or "lies" to be the determining factor. It's politics. That word in itself has "corruption and lies" written all over it!

Every true loser has a closet full of bowling trophies.

Im voting for Obama, however I just get the feeling that this is a good man and I wish him the best.

Miracles do happen….let's pray that Huckabee proves to be that miracle! We need him to bring this country back to it's Christian roots. All this ridiculous pluralism and politically correct tolerance is morally and ethically crippling our once great nation.

Obama = Doom

I would have hoped that if CNN were to engage in this sort of overly chummy behavior with a figure in the news, then you would at least have the good sense not to cover it so prominently.

Your lack of journalistic integrity continues to disappoint.

Ted Kennedy should keep his fat mouth out of the battle between Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama. His statement says that Hillary is a fear mongerer when she tries to point out that Obama's health plan doesn't cover every body. He must have his own personal agenda against Hillary. He is trying prevent her from campaigning on a level playing field. It is personal with him. Nothing to do with valid political argument.

Regarding abortion ,killing baby comments:
God gave each person on this earth agency. The freedom to choose for himself. I personaly do not agree with abortion, I would not have one, but who am I to choose for another person, they have God given freedom to choose, where would I be justified or a government be justified to over rule our God given individual choice.
Judgement and justice come in the next life.
It is not for earthlings to try and take over God's job he will do just fine in his judgement.
Agency was the cause of the war in heaven it is the continued cause of the war on earth.
Satan's goal is to take away our agency….which is God given.
Beware of Polly Ticks—Dog Ticks and Sandfleas

That's Reality - Apparently you're terrible at doing research, then, because Obama's stances on virtually everything are outlined clear as crystal on his website and in debates he's had.

Personally I find it ludicrous that anyone would vote for Huckabee. The man's likable, sure, but his ideas and policies would run the country to ruin. I could never in good faith vote for a man who wants to inject religion into the Constitution.

I am just checking to see if I can get in here for a comment.

Universal Health Care program should not require any mandates that everyone should buy health insurance. It should be available to anyone who needs medical attention.
No insurance needed. It can be funded by the same provisions as the medicare and actually replace the medicare program with unviersal health care. The tax funding of the universal health care will be cheaper for the taxpayer then having the same payer pay for medicare and buy his or her own medical insurance as well.
That is what true universal health care is.
No rocket scientist needed here. Or for that matter an economist is not needed here either.

Oh no! Mike Huckabee goes bowling….Lets persecute him!!!

He's not even trying anymore!!

I may not agree with his policies, but I do love reading about this guy!

Hey, Sebastian from Germany:

Nobody can ever be in favor of abortion but as a 77 year old woman that is a decision I will never have to make. I DO NOT feel I have the right to make that decision for younger women. Where do you get the right to make that decision for complete strangers. It is a problem you
personally will have to make. Talk about having balls!

Hopefully, the Republican Party has no immediate future in America…not until they clean up their act anyway. They have a lot of explaining to do…from Bush right on down. I am looking forward to a lot of the current (including the ones that already have jumped ship, or have been ousted) administration being brought to justice for their corrpution and lies. The worst possibly senario for America right now would be to put another Republican at the helm.

David, so what you are saying is Mike Huckabee is a threat to win this race? And as far as record goes, I would rather have someone who is not looking to shake hands across the aisle. I want someone who will stand firm on his principles. I have not seen Huckabee change an answer this entire election process. Now McCain on the other hand……….

I decided not to vote for Huckabee after he lied about his rival's positions and after constantly making mean, cheap shots about another candidate every chance he gets. He seems so hate filled. Plus, he has shown poor judgment by pardoning over 1000 felons and by encouraging the release of a rapist who then went out and raped and killed a girl. That and his flip-flops on immigration and taxes are too much to take. Huckabee is a disaster and his unwillingness to get out of the race when McCain will win unless he dies, just shows you he is in it for himself and not the important causes of the party.

This has as much to do with politics as Hillary's fetish with Mango Ice cream…

Obama Richardson 08!!!!

I believe Huckabee is what our country needs in the coming years. I do not know what challemges he will face but I believe he knows how to solve problems. And the USA/We do have major problems. I do not believe he has a chance to win but I will curtainly not count him out. "Go Huckabee"

go away false prophet!

In response to Virginia - No Huckabe does not think bowling and playing an instrument qualifies him for the presidency. Perhaps this is your perception of him because this is what the media presents to you. You and every other voter should realize you need to do a little of your own work to find out what the candidates are really all about. One candidate I haven't been able to find enough info on to know where he REALLY stands is Obama, which is why I find it ludicrous that people would support him. How do you know where a candidate stands when he votes "present" on a piece of legislation rather than yes or no? His battlecry word is "Change" which could very well mean a change to something FAR WORSE….yes, it could get worse than it is!

My vote goes to HUCKABEE.

And, what special interest group paid for this trip and speech? The Cayman Islands??

Wow. Preach on brutha, preach on.

Is the following an IRONY or just pure COINCIDENCE?

"Bowling alleys, it turns out, are not just good places to pick up votes. Mrs. Huckabee told CNN that on her first date with Huckabee – when her name, ironically, was Janet McCain – they went bowling."

This is an improper use of the word "ironically," methinks.

Thoughts?

Huckabee is an awesome, down-to-earth guy. He is incredibly smart and has strong views on the most important issues that face this country as we look into the future. We need Huckabee to lead of us the right direction, which he will do! Go Huckabee!

My vote is for Huckabee!!!!!

1,200,000 abortions (read innocents murdered) a year. It's worse than I realized.

And only Hucabee is willing to stand 100% for their right to live.

He has my vote even without his many other qualifactions like ten and a half years of executive experience, a strong border, abolish the IRS, a comittment to a strong armed forrces, etc.!!

He needs to get paid, so the bills get paid just like all of us. He does not get tax payer salaries as the other candidates. People need to just listen to him and then make comments. Give him a chance, he got my vote and YES he is the conservative choice for all those out there that care about being a conservative. Mccain will lead us into problems, will lead us into liberal situations, will lead us into compromise with the democrats.

Go to Huckabee.com and see for yourself, don't just follow the rest…

Stop the bias; Stop the lies…!

Go Huckabee!!!

Mike Huckabee represents conservative America…We love you Mike and support you all the way!

Erik has it exactly right. Let Joe Six Pack hang with the gang at the bowling alley. We need the absolute best and brightest to lead us in this dangerous and competitive world. People with much more important things to tend to.

Anything less puts us on the down escalator at a time when other countries are taking the express elevator up!

Unfortunately, after Romney dropped out, the remaining lists on both sides have no one of that stature and capability left.

It is time for him to drop out gracefully. If he really does feel his moral/religious standards are of utmost importance there are
plenty of more useful places for his energy and money.
This is a country–be very careful about making such a diverse
country a Baptist church. Drop out Huckabee and let the more
capable McCain get on with the next phase of reforming a party
that could really benefit from him.

Guess if playing the saxaphone, playing golf and being governor of Arkansas is enough to get Clinton elected, then I think Huckabee is equally qualified.

Huckabee is the only candidate I trust to lead our nation. Calling traditional values "radical" promoted by only a "fringe conservative minority" should motivate voters to rush to the polls in droves. I'm voting for Huckabee in the Wisconsin primary on Tuesday.

These people are truly two country bumpkins.

Erik,

Well said. And for me, that man is Barack Obama!

Hahaha…a down to earth first family…
LIke his son that tortured and killed a dog at a summer camp?
Or the same son who was removed from an airport for carrying a gun?
NIce People…

Get rid of Tax Hike Mike…Only Ron Paul is worthy of the Pub Nomination…the rest of them are just a bunch of big government Libs..

You socialists sound like a brood of vipers to me -"those nasty comments". Another vote for Huckabe here.

Huckabee supporters are so delusional. It's a good thing they aren't going to have anyone to vote for in November. They can stay home and thump their Bibles, while the rest of us go and choose between two secular candidates — just like our foundfing farthers wanted us to.

Huckabee seems like a very nice guy but the Christan Taliban of the party doesn't have as much pull as they did when Bush was elected. If the party could get rid of the Ann Colters and the Glenn Becks it might be a good party for aging Democrats sense the MTV crowd has taken over their party.

I hope he got paid very well for his speech while on vacation in the Cayman Islands. I would like to get that gig. Now if only he would do the right thing., GET OUT of the race he can't win and stop muddying the waters. You accomplished the task of getting rid of the best candidate we had (Romney) now it's time to move on.

Why? This guy is driving me crazy. I understand he reasons for staying in the race, but this is a little crazy. Get while you still have your dignity.

Amanda- yeah, look at his pitiful record. nasty comments come to someone like him that would be a disaster to this country.

I do not want my President to be "an average guy." I want my President to be way, way above average: smarter than average, more accomplished than average and more talented than average.

In response to Brendan H.'s comment above……

Not to maliciously point you out, but rather express what has become reality (due to perception)…. but is "favoring the rich and increasing the ranks of the poor" really a Bush legacy, or rather a Republican legacy??

Just a thought…

Saving babies but killing Iraqi's. Huckabee, pro-choice….sometimes.

Does it really matter whether or not Huckabee knows how to bowl? We've already had 8 years with a President most people said they would like to share a beer with. I'm more interested in his past record as govenor and what he intends to do about our economy.

The more I see Mike Huckabee's relentless determination to give voting Americans a choice the more impressed I am with the man.

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.

To bad Huck's a Republican.

1,200,000 abortions in the US every year need a voice for their cause. Finally they have found someone who´s really interested in the lifes of unborn babies: Mike Huckabee.
It´s terrifying that a so called christian country manages to murder a number half of the population of unified Germany within in 30 years.
Wisconsin should definitly vote for Huckabee.

Erik,

I live in AR while he was governor and no he didn't force to attend church if that's what you are asking. Mike's the only that offers fresh ideas (health care & fair tax for examples) compare to McCain. Too many Americans are willing to vote for a candidate without looking closely at his/her record. And though Obama might be a great speaker he has nothing to offer except pulling out of Iraq speech which trust it won't happen.

I voted for Huckabee because of his sincere moral grounding and common sense approach to tackling the issues. I felt that he would be able to bring a lot of good strong discussion to the table either with Clinton or Obama even if he didn't win the general election. He came across in the debates better than any of the other candidates. Unfortunately, he didn't have the financial and political clout. Plus too many people are afraid of his unashamed faith.

I believe on General Election day there will be not one red state in the union if it's McCain vs. Obama.

Go Huckabee in Wisconsin!!!

Irony: "Colloq. The quality or state of an event being both coincidental and contradictory in a humorous or poignant and extremely improbable way. " There are a great many definitions of irony and a great many variations on the theme. But I wonder whether the Huckster, in his attempts to frame the issues, will continue to strike a responsive chord in the alleyways, so much so that he will not appear a turkey with a handicap, scratching about for a proper form upon which to put his spin, thereby lifting us beyond our national split.

is it me or is cnn closing comments too soon on some of these topics

Two spares in four turns…not bad! I wish more politicians could be so down-to-earth as Huckabee. He really knows how to connect with the people. I hope he wins in Wisconsin and Washington tomorrow.

i like mike!

Guess folks from Arkansas don't know when to step down for the good of their party.

You've got to give him credit–he sure knows how to motivate a crowd–and he is certainly more youthful than McCain.

I am unsure whether to go with the establishment–or Huckabee.

No question–he's head and shoulders better than Obama or Clinton!!

Clinton and Obama are leaning "way too left" for me. Their agenda's seem to be pulled from the U.S. Democratic Socialist Party–no kidding…just go and visit the site!! It's uncanny!!
It couldn't be more wacky–unless Stalin were reborn a modern age Democrat in the United States.

I really don't want a "feel good" President though. I want someone who is fair minded–fiscally responsible, and capable of efffectively leading our executive branch–and the Armed Forces through some very difficult times ahead.

Huckabee seems to be a very likable guy, but his views on many of the issues are downright scary. It's hard to tell if his ultra-religious rhetoric is just an attempt to drum up the base or if he really feels that way, but I'm not taking any chances.

He seems like a great guy to hang out with, but I don't want him as President. Look what happened the last time we elected someone because we thought he was a nice guy.

Spare me!

Virginia - you are exactly right. Having a musical talent and taking time out to go bowling really does make Huckabee an idiot. We really should angle for more droidism in our leadership.

Hahaha look at that Mike Huckabee supporter there, holding his sign upside down!

So I guess Huckebee is a McCain lover after all

New Gomer Fudd Action Man action figure…

This hero comes in 3 styles, Camo-Hunter Gomer Fudd, Preacher Sunday Best Gomer, and now, new and improved Bowling Wife Beater Gomer Fudd. Get yours while supplies last!

I think Huck stand on Religion doomed him. But if he wasn't such a neophyte on such issues he'd make a great President. Yes showing you are willing to be normal person helps you being qualified as President. We could use a normal guy in office again.

tsk tsk….bowling on Sunday…what happened to keeping the Sabbath day holy?

Wow, I cannot believe how negative some of you people view Huckabee. I disagree with a majority of his position on the issues and I would not vote for him, but he's one of the most genuine people I've seen run for public office in a long time. Some of you need to gain a sense of humor and humanity.

Who cares? Huck-a-wanna-be is completely irrelevant

If there is one thing I have learned from this campaign, it is how much hate there is out there.
Many bloggers who support their candidates write inteligent supporting things about their choice . Too many spew out hate against the candidate
they oppose.
It makes me wonder if all this hatred is so imbeded in so many people,
that it partially explains all these sensless murders on school grounds,
and places like McDonalds restaurants etc.
We live in a wonderfull country . Where does all this hate come from?
I wish all these hate mongers would sit down and pray to whatever god
they believe in to help them get rid of this evil.
Every single candidate from the very beginning of this race are good decent Americans..

We've already had 8 years with a President most people said they would like to share a beer with. I could care less if the Huckster knows how to bowl or how often he gets on his knees to pray. I'm more interested in his past record as govenor and what he intends to do about our economy.

The comments against Mike show this country why we need someone with his faith, his honesty and his humor. The negative comments are made by people who have never seen civility, don't recognize a gentleman's attitude and have listened to too many partisans to recognize what unity really is.

Huckabee needs to stop wasting people's hard earned money and call it a day. He's not going to win, and he needs to stop being delusional and irresponsible.

Anyone who attacks Governor Huckabee's intelligence has not been following this race very closely and speaks with little knowledge themselves. I mean, any presidential candidate has a leg up on the intelligence scale. I did not support Mitt Romeny, but I never thought he was a moron. It's just that Huckabee seems to rank higher on the common sense scale when put next to anyone else running for presidents. Americans aren't used to seeing that.

And you have to admit that there are 3 senators in this election who are all getting a salary as they campaign. So who really cares that the only non-senator took a day to earn a paycheck. I mean, who cares? How could any working American have a problem with that? This hypocritical attitude and this cynicism is just so disappointing.

Leisure activities that any presidential candidate participates in, even instrument playing, is a comment on personality. Huckabee isn't stuffy. He has a certain musical talent, can bowl. Sure, he could hide his personality–not mention that he plays an instrument–in order to fit a predisposed image that others have. So the guy actually has a personality. I really don't think that counts against him. At this point in the race, a little light activity is refreshing.

Just check out Huckabee and do yourself a great favor.

I can't help it. I really like Mike Huckabee. Even if his chances are very slim, I'm still gonna vote for him in NC.

I find it very illuminating that Mike Huckabee is talking about the "future of the Republican Party." You hear that alot from McCain and Romney, too. I thought these candidates were all supposed to be running for president of the whole UNITED STATES! The Republican Party has become the party of pandering to the base, 50.1%, divide and rule politics. Until they do some serious soul searching and recognize the mess that George W. Bush has made of this country, and that we need SOLUTIONS, they deserve to be left out in the cold.

Let the guy make some money. Being a person of faith does not make you stupid. I am voting for HILLARY CLINTON but I respect a guy who as figured out that the Bible does not say anything about capital gains tax cuts.

I love that his wife's maiden name is McCain.

I think we could do a lot worse than to have Huckabee as President. That said, he is not the candidate I'm currently supporting. His chance at getting nominated is incredibly slim. At this point, his best bet is to get picked up as a VP.

Mike Huckabee has my vote!!! What a great guy!!! If he is not a threat why all the nasty comments! Why do you even bother reading an article about him if you despise him that much! Mike Huckabee will make a great President. If you would take the time to look at his record, he is truly the most qualified to run our country. WE LOVE YOU MIKE!!!!

The attacks on Huckabee never cease to amaze me. Basically doing nothing other than to insult him, his state, and his faith in God.

That and sour grapes -or more likely - those pretending sour grapes so they can be ugly to him while making it appear that they are Mormons. That way they can slam two enemies at once - Huckabee and Mormons by making Mormons appear bigoted.

My wife's Grandmother was a Mormon and I for one don't believe these people are Mormons at all! After all, Mormons and Huckabee share values both being pro-family, pro-life advocates. And Mormons don't behave at all like these hate mongers. Their drival is an insult to real Mormons.

Journalism 101 should have taught you that it is not, in fact, "ironic" that Janet Huckabee's maiden-name was "McCain". "Coincidently…" would have been the correct choice of words. Irony seems to be a most misunderstood concept, sadly, even for journalists who should be adept in the English language.

Huckabee should announce at noon that he is dropping out so that erpub's can shift over and vote for Obama .

Obama 08

The last sentence of this article is PRICELESS!

"Mrs. Huckabee told CNN that on her first date with Huckabee – when her name, ironically, was Janet McCain – they went bowling."

Huckabee would have been the best choice for the GOP. McCain will lose to Obama

Wehre's Chuck Norris. He & Huckabee hang out alot. Huckabee should have Chuck eliminate the competition :-).

Off to the Caymans to deliver a speech?

No doubt the speech was attended by average Americans who always make the Caymans their first choice?

More of the same pandering to the privileged in he hopes of sneaking into the White House to continue the Bush leagcy of favoring the rich and increasing the ranks of the poor!

Nice job, Huckleberry!

Life has to be great for this man…I mean a few months ago nobody outside of Arkansas knew who he was, he didnt even know who he was…Look this guy is painting himself as a conservative but look where he stand on the issues…He has no chance of winning Huckster is just trying to get paid which he is starting to do….Only in America!

Say what you want, but you gotta love this guy!

Does Huckabee think bowling and playing a musical instrument makes him qualified to be president? Shows you what an idiot he is.

Would love a down to earth 1st family such as the Huckabees.

Huckabee is taking Mitt's message, again! This man is not smart enough to stay in the race. He is just mad that a Mormon has more delegates than he does. I wish the press would call him out.
