Comments on: Despite Pressure, Huckabee Stays In Race

Washington Post: Conservatives Rally Around McCain, But Rival Says He Won't Drop Out

[chuckred1]

VIRGINIA, MARYLAND, and DC - DON''T VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS RUBBER STAMP!!!!!!!!!!

McCain has already crowned himself the Republican prince. He is busy challenging the Democrats while over 47% of the Republican delegates have not been awarded. McCain has not heard your voice and wants to pack up his Republican nomination campaign and declare victory.

Despite what John McCain and the Republican establishment are now saying, the race is not over, and John McCain is not the right man to lead the Republican party into November.

Total Delegates: 2382 (1191 for nomination)

Delegates Awarded
McCain 719
Romney 282
Huckabee 234
Paul 14
Total 1249

Remaining Delegates 1133

Huckabee needs 957 delegates (84.4% of the remaining delegates), but McCain still needs 472 (41.6% of the remaining delegates). Huckabee would be an extreme long shot to get to 1191 before the convention, but with a mandate from the conservative wing of the Republican party, he can close the gap between himself and McCain and take this to the convention.

It''s not over, let''s get out there and support a true conservative who won''t align himself with the liberal congress. VOTE HUCKABEE!!

DON''T VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS RUBBER STAMP!!!!!!!!!!

repscott: there are reasons i would not support huckabee, and it has nothing to do with his name. it has more to do with his being a preacher and the comment about it being easier to change the constitution than the Word Of God (TM). I am for embryonic stem cell research, he is against it. He is for a marriage amendment, I am against it.
Although this is unsaid, I assume that Huckabee, like all politicos out there (with the exception of Ron Paul) is for continuing the failed War On Drugs. As far as endorsements go, I also dislike Chuck Norris, and his placement at Huckabee''s side makes him even less likeable.

I read these comments and find them completely destructive to the political process. As a Huckabee supporter, I can''t figure out why anyone wouldn''t support him. He''s the only candidate left that has the Chief Executive experience needed to run the country...Pro Life, pro 2nd amendment, border control, against embryonic stem cell research, and wants to re-write the tax code and enforce the FAIR TAX. He''s a brilliant politician and a great Human Being. And all anyone can write about him is an ignorant comment making fun of his name. This guy has ran a campaign without any money in comparison to other candidates. Yet he is still here. You have Republican''s jumping on the McCain bandwagon, not because it''s what the people that voted all of these poeple into office want them to do, but endorsing him in hopes that they can get a seat in the McCain administration. You know what I say to endorsements.....SO WHAT! If you think some endorsement is going to sway my vote you''re as egotistical as you think you are....and for anyone that let''s an endorsement sway their vote, you shouldn''t vote if you don''t understand the issues and who you are voting for. You should just go and vote for OBAMA. As magnetic a personality as he is, there isn''t one supporter of his that I have heard from yet that can name anything he''s done. Do your research and vote Mike Huckabee, and please grow up before you post a comment somewhere.

McHenry and others like him point to the failure of American Democracy. Rather than let the people decide, they want to pervert the system.

Why are we trying to export democracy to Iraq when it''s not working here. The 40,000 plus registered lobbyist in Washington DC would be further evidence that the people no longer have a voice and that the "American experiment" has failed.

[glossypan]

Why they don''t like John McCain. Typical McCain outburst - many of them on the Senate floor:
"F**k you! I know more about this than anyone in the room." - John McCain to fellow GOP Senator John Cornyn on the Senate floor on May 18 2007 when Cornyn had the audacity to oppose McCain''s bill granting amnesty to illegal immigrants.

%u201CI tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, %u2018Move from here to there%u2019 and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.%u2019%u201D (Matthew 17:20). I love watching God work miracles.

The religious right modus-operandi: divide and conquer! Dingle berry, Hackensack or what ever name they are using...now that America is making in-roads to reunite, here comes the trumpet of the right winged trying to redefine the party so it can re-divide the nation. For them it''s blacks or white, north or south, east or west. The idea of centering a nation a round unity is elusive to a group that wants one party, one religion, one nation domineering over the rest of the world!

A Vote for Hucklebarry Dinglebarry is not a vote for JayZuz...........

FlaLady41: It does seem that the core of Huckabee''s support does come from people who believe in miracles. I do not think one is coming in this instance, though.

[flalady41]

I look forward to the weeks ahead and am proud that Mike Huckabee is not giving up. I voted for him once and hope a miracle will happen so I can vote for him again.

[jimfinster]

I am sure plenty want a theocracy, and will vote for him. Yuck.

I was looking at where Mikey has won and guess what it is where the heartland of the neo cons are. They will cause MaCain to sink just like they did to the Republican party.

Too bad John you should have changed parties I would have voted for you but now I have too much fear you are just a neo con in sheeps clothing.

Fool me once (Nixon) shame on you, fool me twice (Bush) shame on me, fool me three times not a chance.
