he’ll turn out the general anti-hillary base, national security base, the social conservative base, the gun owner base, the “balance the budget” base and he’ll get broad support from others who don’t identify themselves as strict conservatives.
“Romney is finished in either a two or three-man race”
Well if finishing in 2nd place in total Delegate count is finished then I guess he and HuckaB are both finished.
Romney will wind it down and take his Delegates (more than Romney) to the Convention and then hand them over to McCain as the statesman. That contrast will be remembered vis-avis the WV back room deal. All’s fair in politics and we’ll see how the Hucksters like that deal lol.
Romney has a brain and he’s playing for 2012 now. HuckaB will get shoved aside by the establishment as soon as possible. He is useless to the Party now as are his Big Government one issue voters.
You are either not much of a Southern Baptist or you undertstand nothing about Mormon faith.
Mormons do not adhere to an absolute morality. There is no judgement and there is no condemmation, at all, ever, in their belief system. This is precisely why conservative Christians cannot support Romney. He is a moral relativist by faith and practice.
“I wouldn’t vote for any candidate who attracts Christian bigots. Sorry, just a matter of principle.-——britt reed”
Well, I’m a Christian, Mr. Reed. You can call me a bigot. You can call me and others like me whatever the hell you want. I could care less.
Here’s why I’m rooting for Huck. He’s pro 2nd ammendment and anti-abortion. Two gigantic reasons why I even give a damn about politics anymore. The very moment the head of the Republican party turns from those things is the moment I register as something else.
McCain is a peace of work when it comes to either. He’s made a name for himself as someone you CANNOT trust. Romney? Yeah, right. I’m sure Massachussetes was falling over themselves to vote for a pro-life defender of the 2nd ammendment.
As for the illegal immigration, we can stop them in the Congress the way we have been. As for taxes, my soul isn’t for sale. Do any of you people think that letting babies be aborted and guns taken away is worth a tax cut???
So yes, I’m rooting for Huck. I just pray I get a chance to vote for the bastard. And bastard is what I think of ALL politicians.
;’}
But how would he do against Barry/Billary? Aye’, there’s the rub.
I have read that as a source from NewsMax, but I think I should make a correction, for now, until I can find it. This I know for sure:
The founder of the Heritage Foundation (Weyrich) endorsed Romney, and the Heritage Foundation endorsed his health care plan. National Review also endorsed Romney, BTW.
If you’d like to know about the Huckster, whom you’ve supported, I suggest you go to FactCheck.org. They’ve got a lot of info on his pretense at being a “fiscal conservative,” and it isn’t pretty.
I don’t think KS goes McCain. KS is a caucus state. Has McCain won a caucus yet?
well let’s see what he does at CPAC for starters. He may talk more about his plans for building a border fence. He may be the first republican to actually try to move to the right after clinching the nomination.
Good point, If it’s a caucus, it may go to Huckabee.
In that dreadful scenario, you must rely on the House of Representatives from keeping Hillary from destroying the nation. The Senate won't do it -- too many Democrats and RINOs there. And the House will not switch back to Republican unless they begin by retaking the seven House seats they never should have lost in the first place.
One of those seven is NC 11th, where Heath Shuler, the accidental incumbent, took the seat for the Democrats for the first time in 16 years, in 2006. I can "beat Heath Shuler like a rented mule," as I said in a speech two years ago.
But if you want the House to be the salvation of the Republic, I and other conservative candidates in conservative districts, need your help, NOW. Please. It's important.
Congressman Billybob
John / Billybob
you’re assuming there will still BE a congress by the time Hillary accomplishes everything she wants
But they would definitely vote for a REPENTED one who has claimed to change his ways.

You seriously don't think this schmuck has a chance in 2012 after spending millions more than his opponents this year and failing to win in weak Presidential field, do you?
Have you really looked at Huckabee’s stance on illegal immigration ?
His plan provides for the illegals to “touch back” to their home soil, but return immediately while they “go to the back of the line”. He says he expects becoming “legal” to take “weeks not years”. The only way for his stance to make sense is if he intends pushing some bill that drastically shortens the waiting period for legal immigration. So they won’t be “illegal” anymore, and will instead be eligible for all the social services they are currently NOT eligible for. Since qualifying for that government assistance is based on income, people “doing the jobs Americans won’t do” are going to qualify, don’t you think ?
Huckabee is no better than McCain when it comes to legalizing those 30 million and opening the Welfare spending floodgates.
Only Romney wants to crack down on employers, cut off Federal funds to sanctuary cities, and secure the border. We need all three to get the illegals to self-deport and not become the biggest drain on Welfare spending that’s ever happened.
The founder of the Heritage Foundation (Weyrich) endorsed Romney, and the Heritage Foundation endorsed his health care plan. National Review also endorsed Romney

So far, the count on swing states is:
Huckabee: Iowa . . . and Arkansas?
McCain: New Hampshire, Florida, Missouri . . . and Arizona?
Romney: Michigan, Nevada, Maine, Minnesota and Colorado.
Given that Romney has flip-flopped on every major issue in the past five years, I wouldn’t trust him to keep any promise he makes.
