Conservatives, there is still a chance, we do not have to accept John McCain as our nominee.Until he secures all the delegates needed, he is not our nominee. Quickly rally around Mike Huckabee, he can still win this thing if he has all the conservative support..Lets join together and save our country from McCain,Clinton and Obama liberalism..

Thank you for this article. Most of the media is spinning the story of Romney''s departure to claim that McCain has "sealed" the nomination. They now completely sweep under the rug the fact that Romney''s departure, combined with the growing apprehension of conservatives about McCain; combined with Huckabee''s very strong showing on SuperTuesday; combined with James Dobson''s endorsement of Huckabee today will all give him Huckamomentum!

Increasingly, Mike Huckabee is what Leadership looks like ( http://snipr.com/leaderlook ). He''s an adroit public speaker; he''s all about calling his listeners to "do something," to awaken them to their own empowerment, and summon them to action in order that "Main Street," and not "Wall Street," will prevail in guarding the values and beliefs upon which the Republic was founded.

Huckabee puts his listeners at ease, and reassures them, articulating clear concepts in a natural, easy style (no doubt something well-cultivated as a pastor). One can easily imagine sitting comfortably with Mike over a cup of coffee at the Main Street Cafe.

Most importantly, Huckabee is ONE with the FairTax grassroots movement ( http://snipr.com/nextrung ). Romney''s recent WEAK response to FairTax questioning on %u201CThis Week with Geo. Stephanopoulos ( http://snipurl.com/stephanopoulosdebate )%u201D drew a sharp contrast between Huckabee and all other presidential front-runners who will not embrace it. Huckabee understands that what''''s wrong with the income tax can''''t be fixed with "a tap of the hammer, nor a twist of the screwdriver." That his opponents cling to the destructive Tax Code, the IRS, preserving political power of granting tax favors at continued cost to - and misery of - American families, invigorates his campaign''''s raison d''''etre. %u201CMain Street%u201D will have to demand ( http://snipr.com/scrapthecode ) that their legislators deliver the bill to Huckabee, if elected.

Go,Mike,GO! Christian voters, Mike Huckabee is your man! Why? He is the ONLY candidate who knows better than to split GOD''S state of Israel, by giving a part of this precious land to the Palestinians (These people are terrorists, as you know)! Bush is attempting to split this land right now, as would all the other candidates if elected president. This is only one of many reasons to vote for Mike Huckabee as your president. He is Pro-life, Anti-IRS, and Pro-small Business! This man is the ONLY candidate who has seen life as a common man, like most of us. He truly cares for people. The press can get it wrong, as they did on Super Tuesday, when Mike won the South--Let''s help Mike Huckabee win the republican nomination and the election for President of the United States!

I''ve been reading how Huckabee is trying to woo the Romney supporters. LOL. It would sure be a cold day in hell when they thought Huckabee was their savior.

Huckabee burned that bridge! I''m voting for Ron Paul.

Ron Paul is an honest, decent human being who is right about a great deal.

Huckabee is a dishonest and indecent human being who is wrong about a great deal.

Mike Huckabee is truly an authentic conservative and a fine man.
1. Huckabee is 100% prolife--the REAL thing!
2. Huckabee supports the marriage amendment. Mike Huckabee has always consistently stood his ground for the sanctity of marriage.
3. Huckabee is a firm supporter of the 2nd Amendment.
4. Huckabee is the only candidate to sign a pledge to not allow amnesty. His 9-point immigration plan is more extensive than any other candidates'' plans.
5. Huckabee cut taxes more than 90 times in his state. He is a fiscal conservative.
6. Huckabee believes in a strong military. He holds to the Reagan doctrine of strength through peace.
7. During his 10+ years as a governor, Huckabee showed himself to be friendly to homeschooling. 8. Huckabee''s plan to abolish the IRS and have a Fair Tax is as conservative as you can get on taxes.
9. Huckabee will help this nation to once and for all be free from dependence on foreign oil, and he has established a timetable to do that.
10. Huckabee believes that we are one nation *under God*.

There is no other leading candidate in this race who even compares to the authentic-conservative credentials of Mike Huckabee.

I will vote for Huckabee when TEXAS has its primary!

* * AP Breaking News Alert * * *

Evangelical leader James Dobson to endorse Mike Huckabee for GOP presidential nod.

James Dobson, one of the nation''''s most prominent evangelical Christian leaders, is about to endorse former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee,the Associated Press has learned. Dobson, founder of Colorado Springs, Colo.-based Focus on the Family, talked to the GOP presidential hopeful Thursday and later was to release a statement explaining his choice, said Gary Schneeberger, a spokesman for Dobson.

Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family, holds perhaps more influence over rank-and-file Christians than any other evangelical leader in the country. He has stated that he won''''t support John McCain, Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson, leaving just Huckabee and Mitt Romney.

And now with Mitt Romney dropping out of the race, the decision becomes very clear that Mike Huckabee is the conservative choice.

His backing carries enormous weight, because of the number of voters he reaches via his organization, radio show and is symbolic.

This represent a major validation of Huckabee''''s presidential candidacy.

Great job Huckabee. The media tricked us into thinking you were done 2 weeks ago, and that the only 2 choices we had were Romney and Mccain.

My mom got robo called and her call was Romney saying there were only 2 choices left in the Republican race. Him and Mccain, implying Paul and Huckabee dropped out already.

We all feel like we were lied to and it''s too late to get my moms vote back.

I will vote for Huckabee now.

I urge others to switch to Huckabee as well.

Here is a link I someone posted that showed the robo calls.....

Joy Lin,

It is so nice to see you today. You are the one reporter that just "reported the news" as a journalist should. Thank you again for being a real journalist throughout the entire first half of this race.

Governor Mike Huckabee has withstood the test of time in this race. Mike Huckabee is an American that does not know the word quit. He would not, should not, and will not!

Mike Huckabee is a symbol of American strength. Through all odds, he still stands on his feet and with honor.

This race has been a political battlefield. Mike Huckabee had the least amount of ammunition, and the least amount of troops going into the battle. He held the hill at odds of more than 50 to 1. Mike will not lose this hill or this battle. He will secure this nomination and go on to win the White House!!

Uh-Rah to our next Commander-in-Chief. The Honorable, President Huckabee!
