I for one am excited about Huckabee's leading and probably winning in Iowa! Here's a guy who has made REAL income tax reform a high priority of his candidacy. While some of the other candidates have claimed tax reform as part of their plan, non have been more passionate about the need for it and willing to make it a center-piece of their plan for America as Mike Huckabee. I believe that the average American has recognized in Mike Huckabee, a person of integrity and vision, a man who keeps his word, a man of faith, and therfore, is worthy of their support. He certainly has 100% of mine!
In Before The Zit...
Well, I like him. I don’t know why he’s gotten such hatred here. None of the other GOP candidates were particularly conservative, and he is at least pro-life and socially conservative. AND a supporter of the Fair Tax! Anybody who hates the IRS is fine with me!
I am impressed by him, not so much by his views as by his values.
You couldn’t have posted this on the main thread?
Good Grief. Maybe you should read this little ditty!

“I overheard Rollins’ conversation while dining in a restaurant called Winston’s located close to Huckabee’s Iowa headquarters and took notes on my computer. Below is a compilation of what I heard:
-He distinctly talked about going negative in South Carolina and told someone on the phone to “put some good in there if you have to, with the bad. Do what you gotta do.”
-Rollins let the f-bomb fly twice and told his blonde female dining companion a joke about flying the Confederate flag in the South Carolina state capitol.
-Rollins indicated several times their campaign was the victim of “dirty tricks” and that they were being unfairly outspent.
-Rollins also criticized another candidate as believing the Presidency was “their birthright.”
-Rollins made a phone call to Lou Dobbs and said he would ready to have drinks with him after Iowa to talk about Hillary. There also was a reference to Rollins’ recent comments about wanting to knock Romney’s teeth out, as Rollins told Dobbs “they are all porcelain.”
-Rollins also called Andrea Mitchell and predicted Obama would take Iowa tonight. He called Mitchell “sweetie” several times.
-Rollins believes Rudy Giuliani is “done,” “has no money,” and was “hurt terribly by those police cruises with his girlfriends.”
-Rollins called said Fred Thompson was “as disgrace as a candidate. Fred has been a friend a long time, but has never converted a single vote. No one is taking him seriously.”
-Rollins indicated he feels good about Iowa and that “all the sales are made, the customers just have to show up.”
-Rollins ate a tuna melt and carrot cake. His female companion picked “marbled rye” bread.”
Yep...sounds like a ‘real’ christian,,(rolling eyes)
Sounds more like a ‘huckleberry’ for Hillary Clintoon to me.
On board - so is my wife ...
*crickets*
Ok, I’ll speak up, aren’t Huckabee’s supporters at DailyKOS?
Yes but is he good enough to jam with the Stones
“I believe that the average American has recognized in Mike Huckabee...”
Reckon’ I ain’t average.
You are a daring person! LOL.
I think Huckabee is a good guy, but not sure if could support him in the primary. One GREAT thing about Huckabee’s win is that he has proven a candidate with little money can win in Iowa. Now he needs a big cash infusion to take his campaign national. That will be a big challenge. I hope he can stick around for awhile.
It IS a great night for Mike and America!
You should read what his foreign advisor wrote.

For Huckabee, I'll say this -- the attacks on Huck are immoderate and overwrought. They may have some truth, but the overwrought delivery makes me discount them.
I like Huckabee. I am really glad he won and won decisively.
>> I don’t know why he’s gotten such hatred here.
I know what you’re saying! With all those conservative bona fides, I can’t figure out either why FR hasn’t warmed up to Huckleberry like you and me have!

Hi, I’m liberal Democrat Susan Estich. I’m here to support my boy Huckabee. (reference to link on Drudge today about her celebrating the Huckabee likely victory).
Hey, Rich from the NYSlimes here. Congrats Huck!
I mean really, do you want to win in 2008?
We could end up with a black liberal versus a Christian liberal.
Why don't you start a daily "Pray for Huckabee thread" and see how many people respond?
