HUCKABEE RIDES ON

I don't know whether to feel like a traitor or like St. Peter who denied knowledge of Jesus at the hour of need. Having vigorously campaigned for Huckabee throughout the primaries only to jump ship at his greatest hour of need, when Lazarus all but clinched the GOP nomination is mind-boggling to say the least. After Super Tuesday’s convincing performance by McCain, I must confess that being a numbers person, I could not foresee him catching up to McCain let alone beating him. His victories in Kansas, Louisiana and Washington are a major step in the right direction.

Indeed with 988 delegates left to campaign for, with some states proportionally splitting the delegates between the candidates, it was mathematically impossible for Huckabee to beat McCain. Then it hit me that if Huckabee miraculously won all the remaining delegates, McCain would not reach the magic number of 1191 that guarantees the nomination. This unfavorable yet possible outcome would lead to a brokered convention where super delegates would pitch in to decide the nominee. Thomas Dewey in 1948 was the last GOP candidate selected through a brokered convention. He beat Robert Taft of the then powerful Ohio Taft family. I suspect this is the underlying reason the Bush Administration has refused to outwardly endorse any candidate so as not to influence the decision of the electorate. They are playing it safe and allowing the people to make their own decision. One should not expect the administration to stay mum once the nominee is determined. After all the underdog Giants persevered the pressure from the pundits and cynics and ruined the perfect season by upsetting the heavily favored Patriots in the super bowl.

With Romney out of the way, Huckabee is sweeping the conservative votes like taking candy from a kid. Not to say that McCain is not a true conservative; it's just that he appears to be a moderate when compared to Huckabee and the voters are increasingly making that distinction known. With the Evangelicals, the core social conservative base, backing Huckabee, and the fiscal conservatives snubbing McCain, the moderate Republicans and independents who have carried McCain might not be enough to propel him to an easy victory. McCain will have to earn it the hard way. Through Huckabee.

Riding high on God's shoulders, and operating on a shoe string budget, Huckaboom continues to prove that miracles do happen and that we must not let our faith dissipate like a fart in the wind.

If Romney gives his pledged delegates to Huckabee, then there is a strong chance that Huckabee will go toe to toe with McCain to the end and actually upset him without invoking the delegates at the convention. If this is the driving force behind Huckabee's refusal to concede to McCain, then I am all for it. However, if he is just politicking and taking us for a ride in preparation for 2012 then I think that it is selfish and he should do the honorable thing and suspend his ambitions for the sake of the party.

The dems are set to go all the way to their brokered convention. It would be advantageous for the GOP to field their nominees and get a jump start on the national campaign. This is not to say that Huckabee should concede, however I reiterate, that in the absence of a deal with Romney where he would get all Romney's delegates then he should let the party prevail over his passionate ambitions.

HUCKABEE TO ACCEPT VICE PRESIDENCY

Former Arkansas Governor and Republican presidential candidate issued the following statement regarding the exit of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney from the presidential race.

"Today, Mitt Romney announced that he will no longer seek the Republican nomination for President. I wish Mitt and his family all the best.
"Over the past year, Mitt and his entire family have sacrificed a lot during the course of his campaign and for that, we should all be appreciative of their service and dedication.

"This is a two-man race for the nomination, and I am committed to marching on. I believe in the importance of a strong national defense -- which includes winning the war against Islamic extremists and the protection of American sovereignty.
"I am redoubled in my resolve to carry on my campaign in a civil, dignified manner. The issues that got me into this campaign-protecting life and traditional marriage, enacting the Fair Tax, and border security are going to keep me in this campaign.

"As a true authentic, consistent, conservative, I have a vision to bring hope, opportunity and prosperity to all Americans, and I'd like to ask for and welcome the support of those who had previously been committed to Mitt."




Ever since I first heard the Huckster talk earlier last year, I knew that he was a man of substance and one that would lead this nation in the Right direction. I believed that then and still do today. Huckaboom has waged a civil and dynamic campaign, toppling well financed and well recognized candidates along the way such as Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney. The fact that he was able to accomplish all this on a shoe string budget, says a lot about his drive and politicking superiority.

While others were throwing tons of money including personal fortunes into their campaigns, Huckabee fed off the land and doubled up his grass roots efforts which ultimately paid off on Super Tuesday when he swept all the southern states. So important and decisive were his victories, that they effectively reshaped the dynamics of this race forcing the other dominant opportunist, the Flip Flopping Romney to officially withdraw his candidacy today.

With the Amoeba out, it is now abundantly clear that Lazurus is the man to beat and that is as tall an order as it gets. While the immediate primaries and caucuses schedules favor Huckabee, at this point I will have to ask him to join Lazurus, McCain, in uniting the party against the Democrats who seem poised to duel it all the way to their convention in Denver, Colorado. This will give the GOP an early start on the general elections and an unprecednted advantage over the dueling dems.

Although I would have loved to see a Huckabee-McCain ticket, we must resign to the notion that a McCain-Huckabee ticket is half the battle won. Young as he is, 52, Huckabee will live to win another day; for now, it's best that he does what's best for the party and that is to retain the keys to the Whitehouse.

Therefore I ask my friend and brother in Christ to officially suspend his presidential candidacy and accept the vice presidency offered by John McCain. While he may not be the one making the final decisions, at least he will be close enough to keep McCain honest and whisper words of encouragement when called upon. There is not a better job to audition for the Presidency than that of the vice president. Above all, for McCain to win the presidency, he has to carry the south in the general elections; Huckabee can and will deliver the south.

HUCKABEE: THE DAY AFTER SUPER TUESDAY

I think it's a very tough sell for one who has been accused of being a 'Knuckle Dragging Neanderthal Conservative', to be labeled a liberal leftwing spoiler!! Such was the ill advised assumption going in to Super Tuesday where the ever misguided Amoeba having squandered millions of his fortunes and even delved into his sons trust funds, was blurting out at every opportune in the 60 hour marathon preceding the polls.

Huckaboom, riding high on God's shoulders, slapped the pundits on the kisser by virtually sweeping the south, the core of the Republican Conservatives. Running on a shoe string budget, Huckabee proved that indeed, there was a true conservative in the race. So stunning was his victory, that The Amoeba, who had all along claimed that this was a two man race and that Huckaboom was just a spoiler convened a senior staff meeting today after a thorough heart to heart with his family and confidantes.


Ronald Reagan's legacy was not simply that he was "a campaigner and orator of uncommon skill," President Reagan's gifts to the Republican Party were ideas: growing the economy through tax cuts, limiting government's size, forcefully confronting totalitarian threats, making human rights a centerpiece of America's foreign policy, respecting unborn human life, empowering the individual with more freedom. Those ideas endure.


They give Republicans a philosophical foundation on which to build. The Reagan coalition has a natural desire to stick together. Fiscal, defense and values conservatives have more in common with each other than with any major element of the Democratic Party's leadership and Huckaboom has stayed true to those ideals.

Super Tuesday, Super Huckaboom

Former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee has issued the following comment in response to the tragic deaths as a result of severe weather in Arkansas:

Little Rock, AR - Former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee has issued the following comment in response to the tragic deaths as a result of severe weather in Arkansas:

"The news of these deadly tornadoes bring back many memories of dealing with numerous tornadoes during my tenure as Governor, and Janet and I know all too well the horrors faced by those in a tornado's path. While we hope tonight is a time for us to celebrate election results, we are reminded that nothing is as important as the lives of these fellow Arkansans, and our hearts go out to their families."



Speaking at his headquaters in Littlerock, AR. Huckaboom, emboldened by wins in the South, told cheering supporters the one thing that they all wanted to hear; that he would press on with his White House candidacy.

"The one way you can't win a race is to quit it, and until somebody beats me, I'm going to answer the bell for every round of this fight."

Huckabee beat rivals Lazarus, McCain, and The Amoeba, Romney, in West Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and his home state, and early returns showed him leading in a few more Super Tuesday states. He said he would emerge from the virtual national primary contests as the alternative to McCain, the Arizona senator and Republican front-runner.


Huckabee decisively won the first victory of Super Tuesday 2008 by winning West Virginia’s 18 at-large delegates this afternoon.

Earlier today, Huckabee spoke at the West Virginia Republican Convention, emphasizing his positive message of family, life, and freedom which he said “triumphed in the Mountaineer State” and will continue to resonate in numerous Super Tuesday states, from Alabama to Alaska.

“Two days ago, the New York Giants pulled off the greatest upset in Super Bowl history. Today, as pundits write my political obituary, we won a key Super Tuesday victory. Time and time again, my campaign has defied conventional wisdom. We did so in Iowa, after being outspent 20:1, and we did so today by winning what I hope will be the first of many Super Tuesday victories.”

“Our campaign is testament that the American dream is alive and well,” said Huckabee. “Running for President isn’t about who spends the most money or who has the most support on Wall Street or on K Street. If that was the case, the nomination picture would look vastly different.

”This victory was a triumph of Main Street, sending a message that becoming President of the Unites States is about message not money, principles not politics, and courage not convenience. Luckily for America, in places like Iowa and West Virginia, voters lead example and do the right thing regardless of what the pundits might say,” said Huckabee.

The Big Eve

On the eve of the biggest election in Huckaboom's life, we find ourselves praying and hoping that the almighty lord has somehow unleashed his holy spirit to guide the hand of the multitude to vote in favor of Huckaboom. While the media has opted to pick its 4 candidates, effectively shutting down Huckaboom and Ron Paul, the Hand and Will of the almighty God is hard at work and will not let down his worker.

Whereas Lazarus and the Amoeba were jocking each other to gauge who was the true conservative, the media entirely ignored Huckaboom, the true and tested conservative whose roots don't waver with the winds of change.

Our work is done for this episode and will await to hear from the Huckaboom tomorrow as he celebrates with a few victory dances.

If there is an undecided out there who so happens to read this blog before they vote, please remember that there is one candidate who has not wavered on the sanctity of life and moral dignity of mankind; a candidate who understands that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Vote Huckaboom.

Huckabee: The Spoiler? Yeah Right!!

At this point everyone has to look deep within Mike Huckabee and appreciate his candor and honesty. He is truly the most honest candidate in the race, given that he is literally sitting on the Republican nomination. If the pundits are right, and their analysis is true, then McCain will run away with the nomination. The tentative alliance Huckaboom formed with Lazarus, McCain, earlier in the campaign to counter The Amoeba’s, Romney’s, attempt to buy the GOP nomination, yielded the momentum that will carry Lazarus to the GOP convention for the official coronation as the GOP flag bearer.

The mistaken notion that the God Mocking, Abortion endorsing, Gay Marriage advocate, flip flopping Amoeba is now the true conservative candidate is not only insulting to core conservatives like us, but is also a total disregard for Huckabee’s candidacy for he is truly the most conservative of all the candidates who ran for this year’s presidential election.

Whatever McCain did to cross the core conservative base is unclear to me, however it can not be worse than what they think of Huckaboom who has been true to the conservative party and its ideals and is being crucified for “making it tough for the Amoeba”. Rather than embrace him, the establishment is beating up on Huckaboom, the true conservative in the race at the expense of a Mormon who has total disregard for the Bible and the sanctity of life.


Right-wing bull horns such as Bob Novak, Mary Matalin, Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin and Rush Limbaugh can’t demonize the Huckster enough and are currently living their overtly pharmacicated miserable lives for the day the Huckster drops out from the race. Limbaugh warned in January that if McCain or Huckabee gets the GOP nomination, "it's going to destroy the Republican Party, it's going to change it forever, be the end of it. A lot of people aren't going to vote."

Unlike wine, these Right-Wing talking heads did not age well and will endure everlasting nightmares when the Huckaboom, riding high on God’s shoulders beats the odds like the NY Giants to win the nomination. These so called bull-horns are in essence tearing apart the Reagan coalition and serving as surrogates for the liberal left whose initial cat fight has subsided with the pledge to pounce on the GOP.

Ronald Reagan's legacy was not simply that he was "a campaigner and orator of uncommon skill," as Don Campbell argued last week in USA Today. President Reagan's gifts to the Republican Party were ideas: growing the economy through tax cuts, limiting government's size, forcefully confronting totalitarian threats, making human rights a centerpiece of America's foreign policy, respecting unborn human life, empowering the individual with more freedom. Those ideas endure.

They give Republicans a philosophical foundation on which to build. The Reagan coalition has a natural desire to stick together. Fiscal, defense and values conservatives have more in common with each other than with any major element of the Democratic Party's leadership.

While both parties have an immense and unwavering love for this great nation of ours, there are fundamental differences as to the direction they would want the country to follow. The leftwing liberals prefer to squander morality and the fear of God, for pleasures of the flesh and total disregard for the sanctity of life. These are the fundamental differences between the two parties and for a candidate to swear allegiance to one while upholding the core principles of the other is in essence a wolf in sheep’s clothing and should not be entrusted with the party leadership.

Such is what The Amoeba, Romney and those who support him represent. They should be stopped once and for all and if the Huckaboom does not win this nomination, then by all means I pray and hope that Lazarus wins it for he understands and appreciates the conservatism in Huckaboom and will favor him with the vice presidency, a step closer to the leadership, and a major stepping stone for the next election.


Go Huckaboom Go.

Governor Huckabee Vows to Make Immigration Reform a Top Priority as President

Former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee today signed a campaign pledge, authored by U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), demonstrating “his strong commitment to securing America’s borders as president.” (Click here to download the pledge - PDF)

“I appreciate Senator Sessions' strong leadership on the critical issue of immigration reform and I share his resolve to make it a national priority when I am elected president,” said Huckabee, who has authored his own nine-point plan to secure America’s borders. Huckabee’s “Secure America Plan” is the most comprehensive of any put forth by a presidential candidate.

Campaigning in Alabama today, Huckabee said he joins with the two-term Alabama Senator in calling on the federal government, as well as other presidential candidates, to push for passage of important immigration measures such as border security, workplace verification and "no amnesty."

The questionnaire, called “A Roadmap for Demonstrating Presidential Credibility on One of America’s Most Important Issues,” deals with five key areas, including securing the borders, ending the magnet at the workplace, enhancing state and local law enforcement, discouraging sanctuaries, and improving the legal immigration process.

Answering a host of questions dealing with the illegal immigration problem, Huckabee said, if elected president, he would secure the border including construction of the 700 mile southern border fence required by the Secure Fence Act, constructing more miles if needed, and keeping the National Guard on the border until it is secured.

Sessions, a member of the Senate Armed Services, Energy and Judiciary Committees, is a strong proponent of enhanced federal enforcement of the immigration laws of the United States. Huckabee says he also shared Sessions’ commitment to “confirming federal judges who follow the law and who do not legislate from the bench and his focus on reducing America’s dependence on foreign oil.”

Huckabee is scheduled to campaign in Georgia on Sunday, February 3, 2008 and in Tennessee and Arkansas on Monday, February 4.
