well he won this Jew’s vote. He is more electable than Mitt and a vote for Huckabee is a strong clear vote for pro-life.

But McCain will win the nomination and does have the best chance at winning.

Rather suspect, unless he is a ‘Jack’ Mormon.

well if you support a gun grabbing, baby killing liberal then what are you doing on FR? there are other forums for that.

“We”, the conservatives who actually care about such things instead of merely paying lip service, defeated Rudy because he was a gun grabbing, baby killing liberal and Romney will be next.

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

Indeed it is:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1964996/posts

That is an interesting article. I don't believe it completely, but I do believe many people have not actually analyzed what is happening in these primaries.

I took a look at the polls. I noticed something interesting. Most of the Southern states have Romney well down in 3rd place. One state, Georgia is an exception. Why is Georgia so different from Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma and South Carolina? The reason -- Atlanta. There are a higher percentage of liberals and moderates in Georgia than the other Southern states mentioned.

It is also why he pulled close to McCain in Florida and beat out Huckabee. Missouri with its large liberal city of St. Louis is also a bit different because even though Romney polls in third place, he does appear to be closer to Huckabee and McCain in that state.

I believe that the moderates are actually being split between Romney and McCain. McCain takes all the liberals, some of the moderates and the military/defense minded conservative.

Romney takes moderates and the fiscal conservatives.

Huckabee takes the social conservatives. There are more social conservatives in the South than anywhere else. That is why he does well in that region.

I also believe that a large number of the Reagan conservatives have not engaged in this race because they really don't have anyone to support. So crying about this one or that one getting out won't really change things in Romney's favor.

Romney does not draw social conservatives. How do I know? He gets little support in the states with a high concentration of social conservatives. Yet he gives McCain a hard time in the states with more republican moderates where I believe Romney has the best chance. The more liberals in the state, the better chance McCain will have. McCain's strong area here in Florida were the Giuliani liberal counties in the southern and western coastal parts of the state. As well as any area that has a military presence.

High liberal states like New York and New Jersey will go for McCain now that Rudy is out of the race.

What I am trying to say is that the idea that social conservatives will go for Mitt is not being supported in the states with high social conservatives. So I don't believe that Huckabee leaving the race will help Mitt one bit.

I want to know, do some of you think that because the owner of this site says something that it carries more weight or it is going to be more influential or likely you think more intimidating to others?

I don’t think Ronald Reagan was ever a liberal.

He stated many times that he did’t leave the Democratic party, the democratic party left him.

McCap’n’trade don’t strike me as particularly conservative policy directions. At bare minimum I know Huck will always be rock-solid pro-life and pro-2nd amendment, which is more than I can say for the other two.

Huckabee Backs Mandatory U.S. Cap on Global-Warming Pollution

Two peas in a pod.

I saw Huckabee’s commercial advocating the complete overhaul of the tax code. I’m from NY so he is reaching out to us. This is something that Romney is against...he was always against a flat tax.

The only time I’ve been called a bigot on Free Republic is by mormons. Looking through this article I can see that many of them are quick to claim they’ve been offended, basically hypersensitive. Who cares if some evangelical seminar was held in Salt Lake City near the mormon temple?
