Last night, Gov. Mike Huckabee, Rep. Tom Tancredo, businessman John Cox, Sen. Sam Brownback, Rep. Ron Paul, Rep. Duncan Hunter and Ambassador Alan Keyes (in the order of their random podium placement) faced 53 questions from pro-family leaders at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
I'm writing this on Monday before the event, but I want to be on record with five predictions.
1. I predict the Values Voter Straw Poll will unify the pro-family movement and determine the nominee. Unlike other straw polls that are flawed by design, where candidates have bussed in supporters or paid for their tickets, more than 600 delegates to the Values Voter Debate Straw Poll were submitted by 40 national leaders to accurately represent America's largest voting block.
2. I predict the "Values Voter Guide" DVD will saturate the nation and make the largest voting block even larger.
3. I predict that the candidates who chose not to attend will regret the decision to snub us because they will not win without us.
4. I predict that there will be a Values Voter Presidential Debate in every presidential election from this point forward.
5. For too long values voters have been pushed to the back of the bus; last night they moved into the driver's seat.
The questions asked of the candidates are below. Their answers can be seen at www.ValuesVoterDebate.com. Prediction No. 6: This election just took a turn in the right direction.

I like Hunter a lot. Hope he gets his campaign into gear soon. As the libs, RINOs, wackos and wannabes lose traction and drop out, it would be great to see a nationally televised debate between the top conservatives for a change. No libs. No moderates. No RINOs. No antiwar moonbats.
Woo hoo!! Go Hunter!!
Oh, but I did. Just the same, I thank God every day that he is President and commander and chief rather than Gore or Kerry.
But I still hope Duncan Hunter will pull ahead.
I did not vote for Bush in the Primaries....but I felt I had to against the bone head.
He sure has disappointed me.
Like I always say, If we keep fishin from the same ol pond, were gonna keep catchin the same ol big mouth bass.
Vote conservative, not the lesser of two evils if ya wanna make a real change.
Blessings to ya.

“Yes. People who go around proclaiming that they are the ones with “values” are, thank God, a narrow group of pretentious intolerants. The major candidates know this and rightfully ignored the self serving show this little group put on. People with values are a large group, egotists who call themselves “value voters” are not.”
This coalition only represents about 20 million voters. If you know of a larger group please fill us in.
“more than 600 delegates to the Values Voter Debate Straw Poll were submitted by 40 national leaders to accurately represent America’s largest voting block.”
But you must have in mind something “real” to compare the “pretentious” ones to...are you comparing them to your-self?
Have you become a mind reader, a true discerner of the heart? Come on “Prokopton”, “truth seeker”...lets hear about
this power of yours to condemn those you truely don’t know!
It has nothing to do with being "real". I'm comparing them to all the people with "values" who vote and who do not call themselves "values voters" and accept that other voters, who might not agree with them, also have their own "values". These people do not whine, or threaten, because someone running for office does not understand how important they (think they) are or doesn't pay them the attention they think is due them because of their lofty status as "value voters".
The contrast to so called "value voters" seems readily apparent to me.
Fred may be the conservative savior but he needs to be vetted first. Remember, be careful what you wish for.
