>>”It’s now all up to conservatives across the nation. Do you want to stop McCain or do you want to let him win. Huck came in 4th and will be in single digits in most states going forward.”<<
Nice try. Put another way, Huckabee nearly tied the presumptive leader who pinned all his hopes on winning, yes WINNING, Florida and he did it while spending peanuts compared to Giuliani.
Meanwhile, Huckabee is leading in polls in several states and comes in second nationally in four of the last six polls on RealClearPolitics.com
I believe we will see a three-way, open convention and that Huckabee will have a respectable number of delegates. Those of you who are upset with the choices (including Huckabee) and want a wide open convention would be best served by voting Huckabee. Otherwise, either Romney or McCain are going to be the nominee.
While I actually want Huckabee to end up being the Republican nominee, a good case can be made that the best route to an open convention rests on getting Huckabee as many delegates as possible. I can’t stomach McCain and I don’t trust Romney, and would vote for Huckabee even if I didn’t like him as that is the only way I can see to avoid getting saddled with either McCain or Romney.
After all, at a deadlocked convention, it would at least be possible to nominate a Gingrich, Hunter, Thompson, etc.

Yes, Huckabee lost to the guy who is WITHDRAWING tomorrow because he has not a hope of getting the nomination. MAYBE HUCK SHOULD TAKE THE HINT.

I believe you are smoking crack. AN open convention is not at all to be desired since it will NOT produce some fine conservative candidate ...
it will only produce what i have said all along would be the worst possible ticket we could concoct:
McCain/Huckabee.
I’ve repeated said that is what Huckabee is trying to do. AND I AM TELLING YOU THAT IT WOULD BE A DISASTER FOR CONSERVATIVES.
For conservatives to sell their votes to a non-conservative Huckster who in turn will help seal it for the pro-amnesty RINO is a bad bad move.
“While I actually want Huckabee to end up being the Republican nominee”
Why? He’s an awful tax-and-spend soft-on-crime ethically-challenged not-ready-for-the-white-house unserious candidate. He’s another Jimmy Carter/Clinton type.
“After all, at a deadlocked convention, it would at least be possible to nominate a Gingrich, Hunter, Thompson, etc.”
the guy who got 1% in the polls and other guys with 0 deleagates will get the nomination from the guys who have all the delegates?!? More crack smoking.
Your Huck support is a recipe for disaster. You have been warned.
