“It has to be disappointing for the Romney campaign to spend so much gold for yet another silver,” McCain spokesman Brian Rogers told Mike Allen.
A VOTE FOR HUCKABEE IS A VOTE FOR HUCKABEE!!
Huckabee - reliably pro-life, not recently pro-life.
Huckabee - reliably pro 2nd amendment, not recently 2nd amendment.
He understands that it is for self defense, not just hunting and sports.
He is an ardent, articulate supporter of the Fair Tax, and I believe he really gets it. It is the best hope on the horizon for giving power back to the people, and waking people up to the stranglehold the current tax system has on the people and the economy.
If DUNCAN HUNTER believes he can be trusted on border/immigration and WOT issues, I would trust Duncan Hunters informed, educated judgment after he spent a year getting to know the candidates, more than I would trust the opinion of any of the haters on here.
Dont let the people who say he cant be elected give us another self fulfilling prophecy of having to settle for someone we have to HOPE will do what he says. Right now its just name recognition, and when most people get to know Mike Huckabee, they like him.
They were both governors, but those people give Romney a pass for not being able to do what he really wanted, because he had a Democrat legislature to work with, when Huckabee was able to work successfully with his Democrat legislature.
Every vote for Mike Huckabee on Tuesday will be one more vote to show the establishment and the media that the election cant be bought and we dont have to settle for their opinion of thats the best we can get.
HUCKABEE / HUNTER ‘08
Before Huckabees surprising turnaround in the second round, McCain delegates told FOX News they had been instructed by the campaign to throw their support to Huckabee.
McCain delegate John Vuolo said former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer approached him and other McCain supporters at the convention and told them he had spoken to McCain, and that the best thing to do was to support Huckabee in the hope that Huckabee could beat Romney in this winner-take-all state.
That account could add fuel to Romneys claim that Huckabee is only undercutting his support base, and that a vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain. Huckabee has fiercely denied that claim.
Romney Campaign Manager Beth Myers issued a statement after the West Virginia vote blasting McCain.
Unfortunately, this is what Senator McCains inside Washington ways look like: he cut a backroom deal with the tax-and-spend candidate he thought could best stop Governor Romneys campaign of conservative change.
I’m disappointed in Huckabee’s collaboration with McCain. Glad I voted for Mitt.
Sean Hannity just had Newt Gingrich on his show, and tried to get Newt to say Huckabee’s win in West Virginia was because of dirty tricks, and Newt basically said, there weren’t dirty tricks, that’s how things work.
And when Sean tried to get him to say that Huckabee should pull out to give Mitt a better chance, Newt tried to point out that a lot of Huckabee’s supporters would probably go to McCain over Mitt, but it seemed to be falling on deaf ears.
HUCKABEE / HUNTER 08
Seems like a sound strategy. Sure worked out that way.
There ya go! Proof positive, from the horse’s mouth!
Who’s gonna be laughin’ and who’s gonna be cryin’ in November?
Conservatives are going to be crying in November...when one of these five liberal fools wins the election.
What are you wasting your time for, nobody is paying attention to you.
FReepmail me to be on/off the Huckaupset Ping List.
Huckabee may have gotten the votes in West Virginia, but McCain was the real winner.
Your reply to me is deeply ironic.
Thanks. I'll hold off on my comments regarding Hannity's behavior for now.
