I think this is the first time I disagree with you Jim.
Dan, I’ve said I wouldn’t vote for Mike, and in the fall I would stand by that.
The reason is that by supporting in state tuition and a free Mexican embasssy in Arkansas, he telegraphed to me that he is a real threat when it comes to our southern border, and by extension border security in general. When it comes to taxes, I will never get that video out of my head where the begged for them. Then he cut short the sentences of far too many people. I can’t support that.
The people of Arkansas that I respect have been just about anything but pro Huckabee.
Now, that being said, there is actually something to be said for a brokered convention.
My choice right now rests with a write-in in November. That being the case, what do I have to lose by forcing a brokered convention where the rank and file might actually by some odd chance remember that conservatism is what used to drive our party under Ronald Reagan.
I think Jim provides an excellent alternative to not voting in the fall, if by supporting Huckabee we can force a brokered convention.
While I can’t support a Huckabee vote in the fall, I can certainly support a vote for Huckabee to force a brokered convention.
Count me in. I’ll try to help force a brokered convention. It’s better than what our prospects are now.
