Warned you : "To BEE, or to BAM ? That's the only question !" And Now ?
We had warned, since March : On USA Nov. 2008 election : "To BEE, or to BAM ? That's the only question !
It's was, obviously, between these two Charismatic politicians, Huckabee and Obama, that 2008 Election was going to be played.
( f. ex. : http://www.politicalcrossfire.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=100210 )
With the difference, that Mike Huckabee, after a long and hard electoral struggle, succeeded to be elected GOP's 2nd Candidate for US President, with a vital grassroots Popular enthousiasm, but LESS Money than anyone else..
...while, among Dems, for Barack Obama to win the US Presidency he had to find somewhere the biggest amount of Money in US History : more than 640 Millions $ (!),
(apparently coming mainly from a Genetic Manipulations' Lobby, eager to "reverse" USPresident GW"Bush's decision" on protection of Human Embryos, of "August 2001", as his program says).
Facts proved that any betrayal or marginalisation of the Popular, grassrooots, conservative "Values"movement, is rejected by voters ;
- The only moment McCain outpassed Obama on Polls was when "outsider" Sarah Palin came in, to speak at least for a part of the "Values" popular movement.
- On the contrary, the only big popular surprise during GOP's primaries was when "outsider" Mike Huckabee succeeded to win spectacular bonds on voters' sympathie, and be elected by the People as No 2 GOP's candidate for US Presidency, with less money than anyone else, (not even 10m) !
=> Historically, the Dynamics of the American Popular "Values" grassroots movement is growing :
- Back in 1999/2000 it succeeded to propulse GWBush at the 1st place in GOP's Primaries (versus McCain) straight to USPresidency, ending 10 years of Clinton among scandals.
- In 2004, it was the decisive, last-minute factor which helped USPresident GWBush to strike an unexpected but crystal clear win, after more than 3 MIllions voters emerged just before the closing time, despite the rain.
- In 2008 it had ... 5 (five !) GOP Primaries' candidates trying to represent it from the start, and managed to boost Huckabee as a Frontrunner, struggling for GOP's Presidential nomination versus McCain. (Numerical Facts revealed that it's mainly a regretful, and probably provoked, Division between its candidates, which hindered GOP's "Moral Majority" from getting the 1st place).
- Now, in order to prepare 2012, but also the hard political struggles that will have to be fought in the meantime at least on certain crucial Issues, People obviously turn towards Sarah Palin and even more, Mike Huckabee : They could be a good winning couple !
