by skicolorado2-2009 February 10, 2008 2:02 AM EST: Obama can be thrown off his tack with the slightest wind change. He is just now coming out with policies that can be attacked. Finally.; Reply to this comment


by skicolorado2-2009 February 10, 2008 2:00 AM EST: Like I said before West Virgina. Romney and Huckabee should have joined forces then. Who knows, maybe they have. The personalities don''t match, but that is actually the ticket if people would wake up and smell the coffee. America is a diverse crowd. If you understand the dymanics of this thing. Republicans love Romney. But Republicans love Huckabee. THERE ARE TWO TYPES of REPUBLCIANS that is why.; Reply to this comment

by skicolorado2-2009 February 10, 2008 1:55 AM EST: It is speculation, however, the numbers of remaining delegates are getting fewer. Texas is a big decider for the first time. For Huckabee to win without any outside assistance he would have to win 85% of the remaining delegates. It is possible, but when you throw in the fact that Louisianas delegates are actually going to be uncommitted (unless Huckabee pulls off 50%) these things muddle things further. It is possible for Huckabee to sweep all remaining states if momentum now swings. It is going to be a serious wake up call. McCain is going to re-enter furiously. But he is damaged goods. I wish McCain had never run.; Reply to this comment


by fairandbal February 10, 2008 1:54 AM EST: Come on Republicans! Perry is correct. The reincarnation of Reagan has been anointed and that''s John McCain. Now get in line, don''t think for yourselves and give your total support to the anointed one!; Reply to this comment


by skicolorado2-2009 February 10, 2008 1:51 AM EST: Right now Obamar is giving a speech against McCain as if McCain has won this. Goes to show that the democrats are clueless.; Reply to this comment

by skicolorado2-2009 February 10, 2008 1:45 AM EST: It is beginnning to look like Huckabeee will win the delegates of Lousiana but because he might be a couple of points shy of 50% the delegates will actually go to the convention uncommitted just like the 260 that Romney owns. It will be a borkered convention. McCain does not have this wrapped up.; Reply to this comment


by skicolorado2-2009 February 10, 2008 1:43 AM EST: Ron Paul is already going to scale back to run for Congress in Texas. I am going to start promoting Huckabee in Texas and across the board. I don''t like Huckabee but he claims to be a Republican and his record is not that conservative, but he appeals to a lot of people we can strip out of the hands of the democrats. We have to give and take somewhere.; Reply to this comment


by blackpearlsx February 10, 2008 1:29 AM EST: I''m a Democrat, but I love Mike Huckabee. Why doesn''t the Gov ask Ron Paul to quit, leave Mike ALONE!; Reply to this comment


by skicolorado2-2009 February 10, 2008 1:18 AM EST: If Huckabee does well tongiht as it looks like he will. This election might be back on. I have always said, how goes Louisiana so will go Texas. I am 100% behind Romney but I could warm up to Huckster. Obama has to be stopped. He is bad for this country. Huck can stop him in the South. Romney could stop him in Michigan and Florida. This race is in the process of changing. It was good I think that Romney suspended. It was a noble thing to do to break the deadlock.; Reply to this comment


by skicolorado2-2009 February 10, 2008 1:13 AM EST: Huckabee as President and Romney as Vice President, There is a possibility they could win the General Election. It appears McCain is too damaged goods at this point in time. Romney could possibly carry Mass and possibly upset the Democrats in Michigan. Huckabee and Romney together could finally galvanize the South that Bush won. I don''t know if either candidate is humble enough, but it would be better than McCain. Right now, if Huckabee takes Washington, Kansas and Louisiana, he is back in this race and Romney holds 260 delegates that could strip McCain of the nomination at the Convention. How do you like those apples in a strange election?; Reply to this comment


by skicolorado2-2009 February 10, 2008 12:58 AM EST: I have been a Romney supporter since Iowa. I am not a Huckabee fan. But I am NOT a fan of Rick Perry. So if Rick Perry doesn''t like Huckabee, I guess that means I do. You know, Romney still has 260 Delegates and Romney can decide this in favor of Huckabee at convention if he decides to do so.; Reply to this comment


by February 10, 2008 12:57 AM EST: It is a CHOICE, not an ECHO. This has been a clarion call to conservatives to vote and campaign according to their core convictions. Now that we have one of two top-tier candidate with conservative core convictions and the other who has moderate convictions, the choice is clear: Huckabee if you are a conservative and McCain if you wish to blur the distinctions between Democrat and Republican.

I choose the conservative path -- BUT, I am not a "suicide voter" -- If Huckabee does not succeed, I will stand behind our standard bearer... or stay home. If McCain does get the nomination, then he will have choices to make if he wants to hear the echoes of conservatives united in their principles.; Reply to this comment


by retiree96 February 10, 2008 12:44 AM EST: Mike, you will have my vote.. Please stay in this race.. Let the God we serve decide who will win.. and only then accept defeat.. if it comes to that.. but don''t give it to any of them.. Fight until the last vote is counted..; Reply to this comment


by Larry Mace February 10, 2008 12:36 AM EST: Conservatives should examine the results of the Republican primaries. In closed primaries, McCain won about 440 delegates to Huckabee''s approximately 77. Seems like the REAL Republicans are we moderates.; Reply to this comment


by l2256 February 10, 2008 12:02 AM EST: Mike,
Stay in this race and please don''t drop out. You are the true republican''s only hope now. If you drop out we are stuck with Hillary, Obama, and Hillary''s best friend John. We need you and you have a huge advantage over John McCain. You are a "True Republican with true Republican values." You WILL win this race. When it comes right down to it, republicans''s will choose you.
Hang in there for us.; Reply to this comment


by byeneocons February 9, 2008 11:37 PM EST: Stay in the race Huckabee! It''s like watching the deluded people audition on American Idol. We love watching a train wreck, especially when it is one big neocon disaster. Bye Rush!; Reply to this comment


by fairandbal February 9, 2008 10:44 PM EST: This article is of course about the party of Rush, Rove and the religious right. In the party of Rush, no one is allowed to think for themselves or challenge the higher authority of the party (see our current dictator in chief in the white house).
So, Huckabee, you MUST now bow to the commanders of your party and genuflect to the new ruler to be, John McCain!!!; Reply to this comment
