Comments on: Huckabee: This is Not a Two Man GOP Race


by February 1, 2008 2:01 PM EST: I have been monitoring Huckabee''s site for some time, and I noticed as of Wednesday, the average number of comments to posts in his blogs jumped from about 115 to more than 450. Some blog posts get as many as 700 comments.

This huge groundswell of supports probably isn''t a result of his debate performance -- which was impressive -- as many of the posters indicate they were formerly supporters of Mitt Romney who were not comfortable with his recent "conversion" to conservatism.

I''m not even convinced it is as much their discomfort with Romney that is driving his supporters to the Huckabee camp. Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity have all stated they will vote for Hillary if Romney does not get the GOP nomination. I think many people woke up upon hearing that and realized this election is really about principles after all. Clearly, the ClearChannel Commentocrats have none. Romney''s former supporters do. It''s not easy to switch candidates after a long and tough contest. My hat is off to the former Romney supporters -- especially since they are actively posting on Huckabee''s blog now.; Reply to this comment

by mrsmarrero February 1, 2008 1:43 PM EST: I''m also tired of the media telling us this is a two man race. Let the people decide with their votes, and stop trying to brainwash them into voting for one of only two candidates. Personally, my second choice would be McCain, so even if it were true, "A vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain", then I''m actually voting for the two people that I most like in this election by voting for McCain. But I don''t for one minute believe the media spin, and I hope the future voters, particularly in the south, don''t buy into that twisted philosophy.; Reply to this comment

How very sad that so many of you buy into the falsehood of "say anything" politics. "I was for abortion before I was against it. I was for gun control before I was against it. I was for gay marriage before I was against it. I was for a timetable before I was against it. I marched with MLK. No my dad did. No wait, I saw it happen in a dream." Now that''s a man I can trust. Please. Get a grip. Mitt-o-morphisis, the chameleon or whatever you want to call him will change as the political wind blows.; Reply to this comment
