“The former Arkansas governor is not expected to host this weekend’s SNL — that job is reserved for ‘30 Rock’ star and former cast cast member Tina Fey. But a spot on the NBC sketch comedy show will at least give him some extra time in the limelight as rival John McCain works to close him out in the GOP race. Democratic candidate Barack Obama appeared as himself during the show’s last episode before the strike, on Nov. 3, 2007.”

“Mike Huckabee outlined a strategy which has him not winning the GOP nomination outright, but pushing the nomination to the September Republican National Convention, which he says will turn to him as the most ‘conservative alternative.’”
McCain Wins, Huckabee barely beating Romney

“Huckabee was actually running 3rd behind McCain and Romney in fourteen counties. That’s amazing. Romney dropped out of the race twelve days ago and Huckabee is still losing to him in that many locales, including larger counties such as Benton, King, and Spokane. Moreover, Huckabee leads Romney by only small margins in a couple significant suburban counties, Clark (1.55%) and Kitsap (1.25%). Given all that, early absentees alone can’t account for Romney’s totals.”

The only law of probability is that small enough probabilities don’t happen.
In the last two brokered conventions for both parties, the elected candidates lost. However, in 1932 the brokered convention of the Democrat party produced a winning candidate... FDR. Parties hate brokered conventions. They are "messy" and worrisome. There is a real possibility that both parties could have brokered conventions this year. I am not sure that's ever happened. Regardless, I am thankful to Huckabee for hanging in there to provide "me" with a voice. For that, I have deep respect toward the man.
There is something very wrong about a candidate dropping out and then saying anything to affect the natural outcome of the process.
I know Romney doesn’t owe Huckabee anything but this process belongs to the people. If he wanted to have a say about the final outcome, he should have stayed in and let things play out.
On paper, or from a “game theory” perspective, it looks like Romney was McCain’s stalking horse all along.
Thanks, but as a Southern Baptist, I don't share your views.
Huck doesn't understand render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto God what is God's.
He's highly lacking in that area.
And, I'm surprised at your rhetoric.
What the heck are you thinking?
Yes ma’am, and sir.
That, from what I've studied of Gov. Huckabee, as an effectively baseless and flatly wrong charge.
Feel free to try to justify it, though.
Slander on....
Feel free to defend it.
Anyone see Huckabee on Saturday Night Live tonight on the news segment? Great segment. I won’t vote for him, but one thing I can say for him is he has a good sense of humor.
He says he knows when to get out and not overstay his welcome, then at the end of the interview they thank him and say goodbye to him and he just sat there in his chair and kept thanking them for having him but made no move to leave. They kept on and on and he wouldn’t take the hint that the interview was over.
Sorry, that won’t do.
Vote for him and get five others to do the same.
And be enthused.
Mike Huckabee's positions, past, and commitments as president confirm knowing what "Caesar" is up to -- and provides a good sense he even knows quite a bit about what God's doings are.
The very fact that he wants to render unto Ceasar more than Ceasar needs...re: tax increases in his own state...tells me more than I need to know about him.
BTW, I do respect him as a God loving man, and a good pastor.
But, he’s having the time of his life right now.
He’s gotta be loving that.
What exactly do you mean?
I saw it! I was expecting him to crash and burn, jumble his lines and generally embarrass himself (as most politician do when they're on the show) but he was actually quite funny and had great timing. He had the crowd laughing.
Arkansas had to raise taxes to meet their constitutional balanced budget mandate. They turned out to have a surplus (due in large part, to the exceedingly rapid growth of the Arkansas economy during his Arkansas governorship). Huckabee recommended that they use the surplus as a cue to elimnate sales taxes on food. That is what they set about doing.
That would have to assume that all of Romney’s votes would be with held from McCain. McCain has won, face it!
