Listening to the crowd behind Andrea Mitchell shouting Hillareeee. Matthews said she and hubby trying to make the evening news thus the time chosen to make a statement. Well let them spin all they want but the WOMEN went for Obama! Edwards making an appearance first, lol.

Literally **thousands** of voters at my caucus location. Huck and Paul spoke in person; Ann Romney spoke for Mitt and Bill Salier spoke for Fred. People right now are still checking in to vote at my location; I’ve voted and left. Long night.

That's OK.

All I had to do was look at your prideful posts - I don't need your homepage spin.

“Let’s hope that the GOP doesn’t try to work against the Evangelicals — or else — they will simply shoot themselves in the foot... [now.., whose fault will that be?]”

I will now be working against a certain kind of Evangelical, the kind that voted for the Huckster. It is these Evangelicals who have now shot themselves in their own feet. The worm will turn in the other states. Not all states are chock full of Evangelicals of the Rick Warren/Joel Osteen type. A corn cob has more intelligence than these religious and IMO bigoted johnny-one-notes.

Huckabee is for illegal immigrants. Ann Coulter agrees with me. Huckabee would give amnesty to the 30 million illegals in the U.S. now . Then of course these 30 million new Democrat voters would be allowed to bring in 100 million of their socialist family members as chain migration allows. This would destroy the Republican part and turn the U.S. toward socialism which would destroy our civilization and economy.

http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/article.cgi?article=226

A little snippet of Ann Coulter on Huckabee:

"So this little stretch-marked cornpone is either lying, has a closed head injury, is a complete ignoramus -- or all of the above.

Huckabee opposes school choice, earning him the coveted endorsement of the National Education Association of New Hampshire, which is like the sheriff being endorsed by the local whorehouse.

He is, however, in favor of school choice for kids in Mexico: They have the choice of going to school there or here. Huckabee promoted giving in-state tuition in Arkansas to illegal immigrants from Mexico -- but not to U.S. citizens from Ohio. "I don't believe you punish the children," he said, "for the crime and sins of the parents."

Since when is not offering someone lavish taxpayer-funded benefits a form of punishment? That's almost as crazy as a governor pardoning a known sex offender so he can go out and rape and kill.

Huckabee claims he's against punishing children for the crimes of their fathers in the case of illegal immigrants. But in the case of slavery, he believes the children of the children's children should be routinely punished for the crimes of their fathers.

Huckabee has said illegal immigration gives Americans a chance to make up for slavery. (I thought letting O.J. walk for murdering two people was payback for slavery.)

Just two years ago, Huckabee cheerfully announced to a meeting of the Hispanic advocacy group League of United Latin American Citizens that "Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority." Who's writing this guy's speeches -- Al Sharpton? (Actually, take out "Southern" and "white," and I agree with Huckabee's sentiment).

He said the transition from Arkansas' Southern traditions would "require extraordinary efforts on both sides of the border." But, curiously, most of the efforts Huckabee described would come entirely from this side of the border. Arkansas, he pledged, would celebrate diversity "in culture, in language and in population." He said America would have to "accommodate" those who come here.

All that he expected from those south of the border was that they have a desire to provide better opportunities for their families. Basically, we have to keep accommodating everyone but U.S. citizens.

For those of you keeping score at home, this puts Huckabee just a little to the left of Dennis Kucinich on illegal immigration and border control. The only difference is that Kucinich supports amnesty for aliens from south of the border and north of Saturn.

In a widely quoted remark, Huckabee denounced a Republican bill that would merely require proof of citizenship to vote and receive government benefits as "un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life," according to the Arkansas News Bureau. Now, where have I heard this sort of thing before? Hmmm ... wait, now I remember: It was during the Democratic debates!

In his current attempt to pretend to be against illegal immigration, Huckabee makes a meaningless joke about how the federal government should track illegals the way Federal Express tracks packages. (Can a Mexican fit in one of those little envelopes?)

In other words, Huckabee is going to address the problem of illegal immigration by making jokes. It's called leadership, folks.

Yeah well, the sports lines have also thought that Guiliani would win for most of the last year - go figure. Most of the bettors are from Ireland or the UK, though.

...she has no message...

Oh, she has a message alright, she is just afraid to say what that message really is in "public". I won't pretend to think little 'ol me has the pulse of America, but I think it is pretty safe to say that without media cover and coordinated coverage, most want nothing more to do with the Clintons (both side of the isles).

OK, Huck got a field goal on the opening drive. So did the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX against the ‘85 Bears. How did that turn out?

Like I suggested in the other post. I just don't see him getting the nomination.

Again, I'm no Huck supporter. I liked Hunter...Of course he was just too conservative for Iowa.

Those numbers sort of put this whole thing into perspective.

But have you checked the Democrat numbers?

According to ABC News, Ron Paul with 10% of the Republican vote is polling more than all of the Democrats combined!

Very true... It’s kind of funny because Mitt handled Iowa like the Democrats handle everything. As you said “Throw more money at it”! LOL Mitt showed his true colors as a liberal, IMHO. ;)

" perhaps you have taken Rush too seriously and forgotten that Rush is an entertainer with a whole lot of good advice."

Rush would have your tongue cut out for that statement!

He was just ragging about that nonsense yesterday. He doesn't consider himself an entertainer; that's the way that the Drive-bys cast him.
