Spoken like a true Arkansan...
If you think Dobson is your friend kiss off liberty. He is handing us Obama, Hillary or McCain.
Not a done deal, at all, for a candidate that can't break out of the 30's percentile in red and purple states.
Half the delegation. 2 House members and 1 Senator in the 1996 election. Today, just the 1 House member in the same seat we’ve held since Winthrop Rockefeller, Sr. made his breakthrough in 1966. In other words, we’re in worse shape statewide than we were 42 years ago. We have zero statewide officeholders today. Huckster rolled back the clock in January 2007 to 1966. Meanwhile states like Louisiana, which was more Democrat than Arkansas was, now has a nearly all-GOP statewide and federal delegation, and elected a GOP House Speaker last month. Same story with Mississippi. We couldn’t have done that badly with Democrats running Arkansas instead of Huckster.
No, not even if his apparent teacher, Jimmy Carter, endorsed him.
Not even if he promised to have Tom Daschle as his running mate, and Helen Thomas as his Press Secretary.
I WILL NOT VOTE FOR A DISHONEST DEMOCRAT! No; not even if they have an (R) after their name.
Thank you. I've had very intelligent relatives who have moved down there.
Put the bottle down, or you may pass out.
Huck won in Iowa and the south. There are only a few more winner take all states, and they aren’t in the south. Every other state will be apportioned. Huck cannot win enough votes to make up the difference. And you assume all those who were inclined to vote for Romney would vote for Huck. It isn’t going to happen.
With the current crop of Democrats on the ballots: McCain, Huckabee, Obama, & Clinton, passing out sounds like the best option.
Oh what a horse crap form of entitlement the mitt witts feel... Huck won the first major caucus, he would have won SC were it not for Thompson (Hey Thompson was probabaly my favorite but facts are facts)...
It could b e said Thompson was just in it to hurt Huckabee but again that crap all these guys are in it to win it..
Liars will lie.
But strong conservatives will continue to vote for Mike Huckabee.
Given the two guys who were the initial front runners were (a) Por Choice in Rudy and (b) *VERY* conveniently recently converted to pro life in Romney the party hurt their standing with us!
Why would “strong Conservatives” vote for a Christian Socialist ?
I saw a *whole* lot more of people using mitts faith as a weapon to call people who did not support him bigots (a very democratic tactic) than I saw actual bigotry..
I dont think youll find too many huck supports who really did not like Thompson..
I hope you can speak Spanish.
Is that a fact? Romney didn't bring religion in as a factor and I didn't as well. It is people like you who did. If the shoe fits?
Get real. Mike Huckabee has.
He is the only one who has signed onto the Jeff Sessions plan against illegal immigration.
Learn a few things. Mike Huckabee has.
New York: 51%
Illinois: 47%
New Jersey: 55%
Arizona: 48%
Connecticut: 52%
Delaware: 45%
Huckabee’s >45% states
Arkansas: 60%
West Virginia: 52% (sort of)
Now, how about states where each candidate got less than 20%:
McCain:
Utah: 5%
Colorado: 19%
West Virginia: 1% (sort of)
Huckabee:
California: 12%
New York: 11%
Illinois: 17%
New Jersey: 18%
Massachusetts: 4%
Arizona: 9%
Colorado: 13%
Connecticut: 7%
Utah: 2%
Delaware: 15%
Montana: 15%
Notice something? McCain won every big state. Huckabee got below 20% in every big state.
Now, explain to me how a candidate who hasn’t won a big state, or even a single state that isn’t a Southern state or a Southern border state is supposed to start sweeping everything.
Because there is now only one real conservative in the race vs. John McCain.
And McCain’s big RINO states are already in.
