It seems to me the demand for Huckabee to drop out is misplaced. Why should someone who has won one primary and finished third or better in many of the others drop out? He deserve to compete!

In addition, the media once treated Huckabee with the respect of a winning candidate, now it seems as though they''ve already written him off. He has received the endorsement of several political leaders, including Duncan Hunter, a former candidate. He is leading in Georgia, and tied for the lead in many other Super Tuesday States. His polling nationally is typically higher than Romney. So why should he drop out?

Let the race continue with at least the three candidates who have won a primary or caucus.

McCain''s age is a valid issue. I''ve decided that I''m switching to Huckabee. Go Huckabee!

At a debate a clip was played of President Bush stating that to be President, you have to have core beliefs, something you stand firm on when the going gets tough...in other words, character. Gov. Huckabee''s core values sustained him at age 19, when his wife was diagnosed with spinal cancer. He didn''t run, he stood by her, honoring his marriage vows of "for better or worse". Frankly, I''m appalled at the clamor for Gov. Huckabee to get out of the way because the media has decreed that he cannot win, that only their favored son, Romney, can. Nonsense!! Gov. Huckabee ran against the Clinton political machine three or four times, and WON! He knows, and is prepared for what he would be going up against. Gov. Huckabee is the only person who can save the Presidency for the Republicans and conservative wing of the party. Because of his core beliefs, he has never wavered in his support for the right-to-life and traditional marriage. Let''s not try to run him out!! This is a Republic! We are a free people; The media''s shouldn''t dictate who we choose for President! Let''s be fair, and give thanks that we live in a country where anyone can aspire to the Presidency of the United States. May the best man win!!

Unfortunately, these blogs always become a bash fest. I am sure that most of us want to be informed voters. I encourage you to visit mikehuckabee.com and do a little research on the man. Watch some of the videos and read some of the blogs. I will continue to support Mike Huckabee regardless of the media''s attempt to squash his message.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS

First of all the delegate count is wrong. Huckabee has 40 delegates not 7. All of you Romney supporters ASSume that if Huckabee wasn''t in the race that his supporters would naturally back Romney. That''s where you''re wrong. I would never vote for Romney. I would vote for Ron Paul before I would vote for Romney. It''s amazing that Rush, Hannity, O''Reilly, Ann Coulter have influenced so many people into thinking that a vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain. If you want to vote for Huckabee, then vote for him!!!!!
