I thought the time was right to start up a live thread for results and comments about tonight, so here we are!
Not sure ... but I think Janet could out press him on the Total Gym.
You said, quoting something Jesus said — “Many will call on my name saying Lord, Lord, and I will say I never knew you.”
Ahhh..., but that’s not on the basis of politics, only on the basis of “salvation” and that being a “saving faith” — which means “saved *according to the Scripturres*”.
And that’s your catch, you see. It has nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with anything you accomplish or don’t accomplish in this life, has nothing to do with what political party you’re in or any of your actions or deeds.
It has *only* to do with — if — that person has chosen some set of actions and deeds to claim that they’re a Christian — or (on the other hand) — they actually say they are a Christian on the basis of the “good news” (the *actual plan of salvation* that God gives, in the Bible — the *only way* that we may be saved).
That’s what this is talking about.
So — I think it is pretty clear that a Baptist minister (having known a bunch of Baptist ministers in my day...) does *definitely* know and have a handle on what it takes to become a Christian and exactly what that criteria is — namely that there is only *one way* to become a Christian and no other (and “no other name under Heaven...”).
Sorry, you can’t bring politics into the matter of how a person “qualifies” as a Christian. It may not be a “popular idea” — but you know..., even a Democrat can be a Christian (no matter how much you hate his politics... LOL).

I am educated and evangelical, too. I can read his record. The vast majority of Republicans FROM ARKANSAS are not supporting him. Why? He is not conservative.
BTW I think Warren is offtrack and supporting liberal causes but it is not fair to compare him to Osteen.
Morons. All of them.
Nope, just 34% of them. I voted for Fred tonight.
he said prairiefire!!!!
I expect Fred to turn his attention to SC.
He aint gonna drop out. The huckabee #s wont last and when they fall Fred will rise. Beyond that, when MS Cain drops out hi 3s will go to Fred
Twilight Zone ping
Well, Mike Huckabee is pro-life. Republicans should learn from this that the pro-life vote is significant, and you don’t win GOP primaries without it.
Christopher Dodd is dropping out
bumping this post.
I had to check to make sure he was really running.
Oh man that made me laughhhhh!!!!!
“This may be the first time since I was 18 that I sat out an election”
u read my mind

Is Chuck Norris even making a living acting anymore, or has he been relegated to infomercials like the Bowflex?
Objectively speaking, the results for Fred this evening could have been better. But, I think that you're right. I also think that, had Iowa been on Next Thursday...Fred would have had a much better showing.
I'm not as confident as I was this morning, though.
It's unfortunate, He's the best candidate - hands down - on either side, IMHO.
Ditto.
I checked CNN. 85% in. Fred’s back to 3rd place, about 300 votes up.
I've wondered about that as well (Fred throwing his support behind McCain). If that happens, FR will be in a tailspin! ROFL!
