“Your post sounds like one from a person seriously in denial of what is happening at the polls.”

“Denial” no, but discouraged, yes. If Huckabee manages to recover from the treatment he’s gotten the past week or so by the media it will be an indication of both his political skills and his potential. I’m not optimistic, but I can always hope.

I’m serious though about the W VA vote possibly riding on which candidate made the best presentation. Huckabee has gotten where he is based almost solely on his ability to present himself, with little money. If he can convince the delegates that he’s far more conservative than he’s been made out to be by his opponents (including the many he has in here) then he just might swing a majority of delegates his way.

In any case, it’s interesting.

Okay, let’s be clear. Huckabee got a HUGE amount of free media coverage following Iowa. The MSM was blasting his name throughout non-stop. Then Huck lost in NH, and the MSM gave him a pass since he wasn’t expected to do well there.

Then Huck goes to SC and LOSES. He LOSES to McCain, a moderate, in a conservatives state. I mean, WTF?* So on to Florida. And Huck comes in THIRD.

Huck has no one to blame other than his campaign or the GOP voters.

*F means fudge.
