Mike keep up great work! We are supporting you all the way thru this.

Mike Huckabee reminds me of a great marathon distance runner. While other leaders in the race drop out from the shear fatigue, Mike keeps hanging in the race like a real runner does to the end.

While the other runners have gold plated shoes on that cushion each blow, Mike has his worn out Dollar store running shoes still on with holes in it keeping up with them with shear guts and determination.

While others are out there with the spotlight on them as the perceived winners, Mike is hanging on like a world class runner within striking distance.

Mike Huckabee is in the Olympic Race like underdog runner American Bob Schul was in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics on that rainy day on the track. This is Mike Huckabee in the race to the finish. Watch this video:

Keep up the great work Mike!!!

Go Mike Go!!!

There is ONE true conservative left in the race. I will VERY PROUDLY vote for him when I get my chance. I will not let anyone tell me that that candidate "doesn''t have a chance" when only eight percent of the delegates have been decided. Even IF the race IS effectively over when my turn comes to vote I would STILL vote for Mike Huckabee because standing up for RIGHT PRINCIPLES and the RIGHT MAN is always the ONLY option for me - no matter the political climate. Right is right and wrong is wrong. That''s the brave and principled spirit that lived in Ronald Reagan - without which the Reagan Revolution would never had happened with all it''s great benefits to this country!

There are plenty of other possibilities that you can see, if you are not blinded by your own bigotries.

First, we do not trust Romney. As late as this week he was touting his support of "gay rights" to analyst Roland Martin of CNN.

Those in Iowa know that Romney spread lies and half-truths about Huckabee.

He has never given a rational explanation for his change on abortion. He says he is a life-long hunter after having hunted only once. He supports bans on 2nd-Amendment protected weapons.

well-spoken you are such a con.

You wrote of Huckabee: "We would all lose our faith in you" Tell the truth. If you had faith in him you would be voting for him.

The GOP primary is NOT a 2-man race as some in the media are trying to spin it. Mike Huckabee is only a fraction behind Mitt Romney and has a much better chance of closing the gap with McCain than Romney who has clearly maxed out his support.

The suggestion that Romney''''s supporters are making that Huck is the one splitting the conservative vote has been proven untrue by an opinion poll from Fox news:

(From http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/0201
08_election_release_web.pdf)

7. If John McCain and Mitt Romney were the only choices in the Republican
primary, how would you vote?
30-31 Jan 08
Republicans: McCain 62%/ Romney 29/ (Don%u2019t know) 6/ (Would not vote) 3

Not only is Huckabee NOT OUT & NOT taking votes from Romney, but clearly a vote for Romney is actually the one that''''s a vote for McCain!!! (since Huck''''s votes would mainly go to McCain if Huck dropped out)

We conservatives still have a chance if we can rally quickly behind Huckabee!

Without his personal $35 million, Romney raised $54 million in 2007 and spent $88 million. McCain raised $37.5 million and spent $39 million. Mike Huckabee raised $9 million and spent $7 million.

Huckabee can manage my money anytime!

MIKE - PLEASE GET OUT!!

If you truly care about your constituents, please exit the race now. Your time has truly passed. Please be a man to face the facts and help your supporters. Edwards was in the same position that you are in, and he did the right thing by his supporters to bow out.

Don''t tarnish your reputation or sell your integrity by staying in this race.

It is obvious by your constant pleading for legitimacy in the last debate the reality of your position. Your inability to show well in the big states (real facts ... not polls) sealed your fate.

Your supporters could never vote for McCain. Please don''t leave us in that position.

We would all lose our faith in you if you are remaining in the race to run as McCain''s VP puppet.

How could you ever win with the skeletons in your closet? Being named "10 Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians" by the Judicial Watch for your 14 ethics complaints while governor will surely not show well. The DuMond case will haunt you. Your complete lack of any real life private sector / economy experience simply puts us on even keel with the Democrats. The economy will be a huge issue for the election, and we all witnessed McCain''s complete inadequate / lack of response on this issue.

We need a candidate that is both conservative enough and highly talented in economic concerns.

ROMNEY IS THE ONLY CHOICE. Please do the right thing by your supporters and immediately withdraw.

I''m thrilled to see all of these pro-Huckabee comments. Now to those of you who are wavering, to thine own self be true. Vote your true convictions. It is not for the media or for talk show hosts to decide who is electable. Your vote is the only thing that can do that. Don''t let the media rob you of your say.
