Huckabee

Well it seems my candidate has a losing battle ahead of him. Last report I heard McCain needs 57 delegates to clinch the nomination. I saw McCain's interview last night on Larry King Live, a more friendlier McCain was on my TV compared to previously. That still doesn't change my stance on him being a war monger, nor how I feel about his understanding of our economy.

I figured Romney would pass his delegates on to McCain, simply for the chance of being the running mate and to show the republican party he has no interest in dividing the party. I feel this move though was really for his interest in 2012. Only time will tell. (read more)

I wanted to share an observation I have made. Rasmussen Reports' (a leading polling site) home page has not had Huckabee's name on it for over a two weeks. Prior to Romney dropping, Rasmussen Reports had Romney's and McCain's name (as well as Obama and Clinton) listed in content on several occasions. Big deal? I think so, here is why. (read more)

First, I want to congratulate Huckabee for winning Kansas and Louisiana yesterday. Apparently we are still waiting to get results from the state of Washington; it looks like a close race between McCain and Huckabee.

I was really disappointed the first couple days after Romney announced his decision to end his campaign; the media began announcing that McCain would be the nominee for the Republicans. There were other things mentioned as well like Huckabee has no chance, he's gone a dropout soon, and just a few days McCain will take the nominee etc. When did reporters begin making predictions and when did it become okay for them to misguide voters? The job of the news media is just to tell the facts not to assume or predict.

Summary: After Super Tuesday, Romney will drop to 3rd and Huckabee will take 2nd with delegates. McCain will be ahead of everyone by 300+ delegates. Here's my count: McCain 635 delegates, Huckabee 320 delegates, Romney 245 delegates and Paul will drop afterwards. Stats don't include delegates from Illinois. Read on...

Over the last couple of months I've been following the Republican candidates enough to feel comfortable about giving some predictions for Super Tuesday. (read more)

Probably like yourself, I had never heard of Mike Huckabee until about two to three months ago. And even then, I learned more about him through a friend, a great web designer, who informed me a little bit about Mike Huckabee. At the time the news media wasn't giving Huckabee very much coverage. I was a little disappointed about that early on because I want to learn more about this candidate. At the same time, it forced me to go to his website and read up on where Huckabee stands on issues.

I have received word through the "grapevine" that Tony Dungy (from the Indianapolis Colts) is planning to support Mike Huckabee for president (www.mikehuckabee.com). Dungy is due to make this announcement in the coming days while he is in Florida, if the source is accurate.

I hope this is the case, as people have respect for Dungy. Dungy coached the Tampa Bay Buccaneers some years ago and has been in the media lately about him retiring or coaching for the Bucs. Dungy is a great leader among football player as well as the community in general. His support could give Huckabee a boost. (read more)
