“...but I’m convinced Giuliani and Governor Romney are both even more dangerous than...McCain. They divide the conservative coalition by convincing many conservatives that they’re conservative.... Senator McCain unites the conservative coalition by failing to convince any of us.”
I agree with you completely that Giuliani is not a conservative. I also agree that McCain and Romney are either not 100% pure or have, at times, expressed non-conservative positions. Huckabee has some issues as well. Yes, I am a southern Baptist.
You seem to be hoping that with Romney now out of the race, that the conservatives will flock to Huckabee in droves and pull out a victory for conservatism. We’ll see. I don’t know yet how I will vote in Texas in March. I don’t have many choices left.
“You seem to be hoping that with Romney now out of the race, that the conservatives will flock to Huckabee in droves and pull out a victory for conservatism.”
I’m hoping moderates will flock to Governor Huckabee too, leaving Senator McCain with nothing but liberals.
“You seem to be hoping that with Romney now out of the race, that the conservatives will flock to Huckabee in droves and pull out a victory for conservatism.”
There is that hope, but discerning conservatives have noticed that Huck is a Huckster and not in too many ways better than MCain. they both are nanny-staters at heart, even as they both mouth the conservative platitudes. They both have a soft-on-illegals record, even as they both ratchet up the close-the-borders rhetoric.
” We’ll see. I don’t know yet how I will vote in Texas in March. I don’t have many choices left.”
I am in Texas and I can guarantee this: I will NOT vote for Huckabee, and I will NOT vote for McCain.
