This morning Huckabee was on FNC and said he can feel the electricity in Romney’s campaign. That’s exactly what I felt in the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati on Halloween night in 2000 when W walked out onto the field, two days before the election. In fact, I felt it standing in line waiting to go in and knew he was going to be our next President.
Huckabee said he believes this is going to be like the Chick Fil A moment. That there is going to be an amazing outpouring of support for Mitt Romney which is going to surprise everyone. Except us, of course!
By the way, I watched last night’s rally online last night before realizing it was on C-span—I checked too early and it wasn’t on. I recorded it later. The video is available to watch at cspan.org
Not sure if it was Huckabee, Krauthammer or one of the other Fox hosts but one of them made a very astute observation and comment. He said the polls do not reflect the Evangelical voters! He then explained that Evangelicals are not considered a 'block' since they are 'value' voters who show up in large numbers when they feel the values they cherish are being challenged. He used the 2010 election to cite statistics on Evangelical voter turnout. According to an article in News Max:
That turnout among conservative people of faith was a 5 percent increase in evangelical turnout over 2006 and was the largest ever recorded in a midterm election, the coalition said.
White Evangelicals Turn Out Big, Vote Republican
That was for a midterm election; this one, is presidential. Any Evangelical who watched the 2012 Democratic Convention, will be at the polls on Tuesday!
Thanks for that info about last night’s rally being available on c-span.org... I’ll check it out. We were at this rally in West Chester last night... It was awesome! Hope I don’t depress anyone, but I’d estimate the crowd size was closer to 20,000.... 30,000 is a stretch.
