The True Record: Mike Huckabee and the Arkansas GOP

Mike Huckabee for President ^ | February 7, 2008

[Bronco_Buster_FweetHyagh]

Huckabee needs to win 83.3% of the remaining delegates to win.

All: please, for America's sake, set the dishonest smear campaigns aside and find out what Mike Huckabee is about -- right now. Time is critical.

Then, if so moved, please volunteer and give money. We can still deny McCain victory in the convention. Don't let the propagandist pundits deceive you -- nor the Power & Money Club Republicans.

All Huckabee needs to do first, is to prevent a first ballot victory by McCain.

Karl Rove’s whiteboarding on Hannity & Colmes “conveniently” ignored that.

Keep dreaming. I have no intention of supporting Huckster in any way, shape, or form.

I’ll think about it.

Then find a Web site for your political beliefs.

Apparently, you are not a conservative.

"What are you even doing on this Web site?"

I support it with money. Do you? Now what is your beef with me?

Then, stop opposing conservatives.

Apparently, you are not a conservative.

FR also supports limited government, low taxes, border security, and a live and let live libertarian tradition.

Huckabee doesn't - he's a Christian nanny-stater statist.

So you're on the wrong website, not me.

You are simply, 180 degrees, wrong.

See mikehuckabee.com/issues -- or just lie to yourself, if you need.

"Then, stop opposing conservatives."

When have I ever done that? I don't belive some of you people. No, I want to take this further. What conservitive have I ever opposed?

[unspun]

Huckabee (we) just need to deny McCain a first ballot victory.

[unspun]

Mike Huckabee will appreciate your support.

And I’m glad you don’t slander and slur James Dobson, too, now.

“All Huckabee needs to do first, is to prevent a first ballot victory by McCain.

Karl Rove’s whiteboarding on Hannity & Colmes “conveniently” ignored that.”

By my count there’s 1041 outstanding delegates, not counting the 150+ superdelegates (not sure if DC, Guam, etc. get those). Of those McCain only needs 371 delegates to win on a first vote.

What makes you think Huckabee has any shot of stopping McCain from getting that many? Even if every Romney voter switched to Huckabee (and I would be surprised if even half did) McCain would still get enough delegate to win.

And what makes you think if McCain didn’t get enough votes on the first ballot that he wouldn’t still eventually get it? He may have been a lot friendlier with Huckabee than Romney so far, but Romney has done the honorable thing and dropped out. If Huckabee doesn’t quit till the convention the ones making the deal will be Romney and McCain.

"Mike Huckabee will appreciate your support."

No. John McCain will appreciate Hucakabees support.

Good luck.

Also I believe there were two Republican US Senators when he was the governor and are not they Democrats today and a Democrat Governor?

Not if Huckabee wins the greatest share of Congressional Districts and beats McCain in winner-take-all primaries and caucuses.

That is doable. Has McCain broken 45% in any state, yet? Even Arizona?

Where has he gained more than 40%? California, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois are already done. More red and purple states remain.

Go ahead and blame the Wisconsin GOP debacle on Tommy Thompson too, by that thinking.

McCain needs only 20% of the remaining delegates to take the nomination on the first ballot. Huck will continue to run on other people’s money, but the game is really over.
