Let alone the fact that Romney was asked to feild the majority of the questions asked. Upon where Ron Paul was asked maybe four in a two hour period. Main Stream Media needs to wake up and quit lying. Ron Paul has a wide array of supporters. All of his money is grassroots and all his supporters are America''s New Voice. See for yourself.

Huckabee also diplomatically said he was going to "tell the Saudis to keep there oil just like they can keep their sand." Oh boy. See for yourself.

by moniquemonic November 29, 2007 4:11 AM EST: Anderson Cooper almost ruined the debate with that kook he gave the mic to so he could talk on an on about his sexual preferences.

cnn banned candidate alan keys from participating in the debate tonight; and then hurried every candidate up by interrupting them "you''ve got 10 seconds left;" only to give a mic to some man in the audience for at least 2 minutes.

anderson cooper should be fired.

he''s to the curb!; Reply to this comment

I think if you get to know the candidate beyond what can be offered in 30 second sound bytes - you will find that Huckabee is dead spot on on a number of important conservative issues. I would recommend that anyone that would like to learn more about Mike Huckabee check out the videos on his website.

That being said - on important issues like immigration - basically what you have going on is that Tancredo has single-handedly brought the issue into the national dialog. All of the Republican candidates have adopted his viewpoint that we must first secure the border. From there - we must work together to wade through ''grey areas'' of how we deal with the current issue at hand.

If you happen to be a Christian - or read the Bible (the book which most all of these candidates profess seeking truth from) - there is a central figure in the Bible that also had a knack for providing what you term as ''cute answers'' to tough questions. When you dig into these parables you often find that there is a deep wisdom behind many clever responses - that''s been my experience anyway.; Reply to this comment

by bhardecker November 29, 2007 3:29 AM EST: Mike Huckabee has a positive and "vertical" approach than any of other candidates. Ride on Dark Horse, Ride on!; Reply to this comment


by ivote-2009 November 29, 2007 3:28 AM EST: First of all, Mike Huckabee is not hiding behind religion. As he states, it defines who he is. He believes in God and makes no apologies for it. Everyone talks about preacher Mike - well hello - he has been Governor of Arkansas until term limits expired this year. Prior to that he was Lt. Govenor. Mike Huckabee is authentic and honest. You do not have to guess with him because he does not flip flop. If you want to know where he really stands on the issues go to his website www.mikehuckabee.com

For the lies being spread around about his fiscal conservatism and tax hikes - you may want to read an article published today by *** Morris (who by the way has followed Arkansas politics for 30 years).
