McCain fell from 55% to 49% nationwide overnight (vanity)
February 11, 2008 | Kurt Evans

Posted on 02/11/2008 12:59:35 AM PST by Kurt Evans

From Rasmussen Reports on February 9:

"… polling since Mitt Romney suspended his campaign shows John McCain leading Mike Huckabee 55% to 24% in the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination. McCain also leads Huckabee 724 to 196 in delegates and there is no viable path to the nomination for Huckabee. As a result, Rasmussen Reports will no longer conduct daily tracking polls of the race for the Republican Presidential nomination."

From Rasmussen Reports on February 10:

"In the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination, Mike Huckabee had a good day on Saturday. He won the caucuses in Kansas handily, narrowly won the Louisiana Primary, and narrowly lost in Washington State’s caucuses. As a result, Rasmussen Reports will continue to track this race for the time being. Polling since Mitt Romney left the race shows John McCain with 49% of the vote, Mike Huckabee with 29%, and Ron Paul with support from 8%."

Scott Rasmussen has been letting Bob Novak shill for John McCain on the Rasmussen Reports website since New Hampshire, and I'm tired of his own biased "analyses" for Sean Hannity. He's damaging his credibility, and I wish he'd knock it off, "for the time being"...

On a lighter note, the numbers are encouraging. Senator McCain has fallen back below 50 percent nationwide, and the gap between Senator McCain (down 6) and Governor Huckabee (up 5) closed 11 points in one day, with a margin of error of only 3 percent. It'll be interesting to see how those numbers trend through the week.

Congressman Duncan Hunter's endorsement of Governor Huckabee
is helping to bring defense and border conservatives on board:

"I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail," said Hunter...
"Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity."

Rasmussen polls were badly wrong all along. Ask the Romney supporters. If you can still find any.

There was someone at Free Republic who’s posted some really nice graphs of polling data. Who was it?

I’d enjoy seeing a graph of the Republican numbers here:

Vote Huckabee! He’s not as bad as McCain.

Get a new photo. You post that on every Huckleberry thread I have been on. It’s a funny, unflattering photo of the Huckabee’s. We get it.

No worse than the Fred Thompson family portrait. A very old man with babies that could be his GREAT Grandchildren. Just looked very weird.

Huckabee will probably make you switch to decaf. He likes to regulate eating habits. He’s big into sin taxes; sugar, cigarettes, fat, fast food. Real health Nazi. I guess he wants to tax everyone else into eating what he thinks they should. When he was fat (gastric by-pass? He denies it but he lies),it was ok to eat what you wanted but since he lost weight everybody should lose weight. Huckabee knows what’s best for you, now drink your Kool-Aid, hope it’s sugar-free or that’s gonna cost you extra..He’d probaly bring back prohibition if he thought he could get away with it.

Sorry but, I’d take that family in a heartbeat over John McCain. I don’t care how ugly they are.

Thanks for reminding us that Governor Huckabee’s children all have the same mom.
