The whole line that Huckabee should drop out in order to stop McCain is stupid.

Huck is only in the race to siphon evangelical votes from Romney and play king maker. Perhaps a look at the VP spot.

He's not Presidential material.

Hey, just look at his dog hanging fat sons. Of course he should stay. He must have been an excellent father to raise such fine boys. I am sure he would do a great job.

I’m a Utah Mormon and I like both Huckabee, but more I like McCain and Gulliani.

The only one I don’t like is Romney. I guess I get beat up on this board for being a Mormona and a McCain supporter.. the worst of both worlds I guess from a Freeper standpoint.

I agree. Then again neither is Romney.

The only people who think it is stupid are those who KNOW it is true. Who has a better chance to beat McCain?

A folksy Minister with a nanny state political agenda, no political organization, no money and no support anywhere in the Conservative media who has made stunning gaff after gaff who polls at the bottom almost everywhere in every poll(

or a articulate successful business man and former Govt with a $250 million war chest, a strong political organization and the backing of virtually the entire Conservative media Establishment who is ahead or within a few points of McCain in virtually every poll?

You are a rare one!

I think Romney will take Utah tomorrow by about 80%.

I loathe Huckabee too and I’m not a Mormon. Trust me, lots of people loathe Huckabee, and - if McCain wins the nomination, even more people are going to loathe Huckabee.

No, that you are a big Govt Liberal thinking you are “Conservative” hanging out on a Conservative website is the worse of it

McCain has purposed a $ .50 a gallon gas tax hike. Read McCain-Lieberman.

IF the GOP is not even willing to fight the Democrats on taxes, there is virtually no difference between the two sides.

Why vote McCain and get Democrat Lite?

You don’t honestly believe Mr “Surrender Iraq to Syria/Iran via a Baker Commission directed political deal, Close Gitmo and give the Terrorists the same legal protections as US Citizens” McCain is actually going to fight the War do you?

In a head-to-head matchup with Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, Huckabee wins handily, 60 percent to 41 percent.

Sounds like Chicago-style voting, at least for HRC's last 1% or so.

One the one hand, Huckabee supporters are bigots.

Yet on the other, they would switch to Mitt if Huckabee would drop out.
Which is it?

I have no doubt that Huckabee likes McCain better than Mitt. So he stays in to help McCain.

What is wrong with that?

Mitt should be depending on other candidates to help him win. He can’t seem to close the deal himself.

That is his fault alone.

we think it is more important to defeat pro-abortion pro-gay anti-gun Romney, just as we defeated pro-abortion pro-gay anti-gun Rudy.

“The whole line that Huckabee should drop out in order to stop McCain is stupid.”

Indeed it is:

You honestly think John “Gang of 14” McCain who organized a surrender to the Democrats on Judges once is going to fight his good buddies Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Russ Feingold to get you a Conservative SC Justice?

That should say:
Mitt should NOT be depending on other candidates to help him win.

Huckabee’s “theological background”? That’s a bit of a stretch, I think.

Huckleberry is only staying in to help McLame, hoping for the VP spot.
