Huckabee Insists He Still Has a Shot
(CBS)
KANSAS CITY, KAN. -- Just because John McCain has 700 of the 1,191 delegates needed to get the Republican nomination - and Mike Huckabee only has 163 - Huckabee says there are many reasons why it's still realistic for him to get the nomination.
"Let's say we get to the convention and [Mitt] Romney releases his [158] delegates. They can come towards me. There's also a lot of factors that can happen. Any given day, a candidate can say one word and it gets YouTubed and his campaign's done," he said, perhaps not coincidentally the day after 2006 YouTube victim, former Sen. George Allen, R-Virginia, endorsed McCain.
"The one thing -- I know -- isn't it a very complicated process for you to win? The answer is yes. But, you know, it's a very simple way to lose. I can just quit. I've spent my whole life fighting from the bottom. I've never been at the top. I've always started from the bottom. I know what its like to be the underdog. I still believe in the impossible. If I didn't, I wouldn't be in this race."
"Six months ago, would any of you here said the two guys still on his feet in February be Mike Huckabee and John McCain? John McCain's campaign had imploded, he had run out of money, he was deep in debt, he had fired his staff, it looked like well he's done. Mike Huckabee wasn't even much more of an asterisk in the polls. And everybody was talking about the next president of the United States. It was either Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney. It certainly wasn't me and wasn't even John McCain. Here we are."
Your comment about Mike not having a Theology degree is incorrect and might give insight into how well you investigate your other points.
Remember to go to their "Speak Out" page too!
FACT: It is one thing to have a COMPLAINT, it is quite another for the complaint to be a FACT.
FACT: Those who spend there time repeating like a parrot the smear campaign of half-truths, innuendos, and outright falsehoods about other candidates, must not have a candidate themselves that is worth supporting.
FACT: The Clintonian politics of personal destruction is OUT.
FACT: The rational debate on the ISSUES in IN.
FACT: You need to get a life.
I support Huckabee and admire his ambition!
Huckabee has inspired me to become a delegate to Michigan''s State Convention next weekend. I have never been involved in politics before, but I will do what I can to encourage the forty-five uncommitted Romney delegates to support Huckabee.
From a born again-spirit filled-tongue talking- Science teacher (who will never teach evolution to our precious children-evolution is a blasphemous lie straight from HELL and our nations "state mandated religion"-talk about separation of church and state in the great state of Alabama-Mike Huckabee is in my prayers!!! Dr. Kevin Linam, Atmore, Alabama
I also like the FairTax idea. Many companies move abroad to save tax dollars and lower labor cost. FairTax will bring jobs back to America as corporations won''t pay income taxes and payroll taxes. Americans will be richer because the actual take-home pay is the gross pay. Merchandises will NOT be more expensive because of lower cost for manufacturing in the US. The only thing that will cost more is the imports. This is, again, very good for made-in-USA products to compete.
CPA''s don''t need to worry about loosing their jobs. The corporations still need accountants to show balance sheet and investors are still looking for profitable companies to invest. The 20,000 IRS workers can be retrained and contribute to the private sectors. And, with FairTax, we are going to get very busy as the economy will grow like never before.
We now have a real chance to make history and get rid of IRS once for all, by making taxing on income unconstitutional. Consumption tax makes sense.
We don''t have much time left. Please support Huckabee financially. Please use this link a href="https://www.mikehuckabee.com/?FuseAction=Contribute.Home&r=16134" https://www.mikehuckabee.com/?FuseAction=Contribute.Home&r=16134 /a
Mike Huckabee is a true underdog but he is our Seabiscuit and Cinderalla Man combined.
GO MIKE GO!!! WE BELIEVE!!!!!!
Mike Huckabee has the most executive experience of any candidate running. He was re-elected Governor of Arkansas until his term limits expired. He was their Lt. Governor prior to that. He was voted one of the Best Five Governors in America by Time Magazine. He is the best communicator since Ronald Reagan. Mike Huckabee is for real and he is authentic!
His record as Governor of Arkansas demonstrates that he is an effective conservative leader, and in fact, qualifies him through executive experience more than any other candidate in this race, bar none.
He is an excellent, articulate orator, who possesses communication skills unseen in the Republican party since Ronald Reagan.
He is a man of great integrity, who stands true to his convictions regardless of the political climate.
He sees the need to address the crumbling infrastructure of our great country. No one else seems to talk about that much, but it''s important for a wide variety of reasons.
Plus, he''s a really neat guy with a sense of humor and quick wit.
Since the media will not provide you with an unbiased view of Mike Huckabee and what he stands for, I''d ask that you explore his views on this website, go to www.fairtax.org, and finally, go to youtube.com and watch some clips of him in action. I feel sure you''ll be convinced to join this effort, which represents a true grassroots movement of the kind that is America at its best!

I wish him well in his other endeavors.
Read the following excerpt from wikipedia%u2019s article on him:
[In opening remarks among Hispanic civil rights leaders at a LULAC convention, Huckabee said the nation will need to address the concerns of the Hispanic community because of its growing influence and population base. %u201CPretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority,%u201D Huckabee said jokingly as the crowd roared in laughter. He told the LULAC delegates that their presence in the state%u2019s capital city was very important because Arkansas has one of the fastest growing Hispanic populations in the nation. %u201CYour gathering is so very significant for our state,%u201D Huckabee said.[98] Roy Beck, whose 1.5 million member organization NumbersUSA played a major role in defeating the Senate immigration bill, calls Huckabee %u201Can absolute disaster as governor of Arkansas%u2026 Every time there was any enforcement in his state, he took the side of the illegal aliens.%u201D Huckabee responded by saying if voters are looking for the toughest guy on immigration, he%u2019s not their man.] from {Wikipedia search: Mike Huckabee}.
Mitt Romney is like the real mother. He forgo his position to help conservatives or what is left of the party.
Romney did not pull out of the race because he wanted to help the Republican party conservatives, he pulled out because he spent over 35 million dollars out of his own pocket and could not pull a single state out of the south on Super Tuesday. It was a reality check.
From CNN Website
"Loser: Mitt Romney
The Super Tuesday primaries across the United States offered prizes to almost all of the candidates -- only one man was left looking short-changed. Mitt Romney, the Mormon tycoon who has invested millions of his own money running for president, was left in the unenviable position of denying he would drop out. Romney did win his home state, Massachusetts, the heavily Mormon state of Utah and a few others. But after personally spending a reported $35 million, he was the clear laggard in the three-man Republican race behind Senator John McCain and former governor Mike Huckabee."
also, my 2 yr old helped me make a 9 second Huckabee commercial see it here

It''s not too late!! Don''t listen to the media''s negativity! They are dis-satisfied because they couldn''t sell us Romney! They tried to make Ron Paul look like a fool and gave no press to Huckabee. Conservatives have discovered that Huckabee is and always has been the conservative of choice.
We like Mike because he is out there fighting for us, the average everyday American.
Governor Mike Huckabee was kicked in the knees by Romney, but Mike got up and decided to keep fighting. He did not accept failure and he will fight to the end. His true American spirit has inspired us to love our Country again.
We are all going to go out and vote for Huckabee, because we are voting for ourselves, our children, and our future.
This race will be one sided from now on and Mike Huckabee will be the 44th President of the United States!
Without it, WHOA! ( http://snipurl.com/meltdowninprogress )
Not just another politico:
Hope for tax reform, I see,
Will be voting HUCKABEE! ( http://snipr.com/fthuckabeeonirs )
