Great comments! I am disappointed that we won’t have Huckabee for the GOP ticket this time around. I am frustrated that so many people I know were persuaded by the media and conservative talk radio. I watched the debates and spent hours and hours researching the candidates b/f the FL primary. I read Obama’s book and McCain’s and Huckabee’s. That is how I decided to vote for Huckabee. Being a responsible voter takes time and effort. I am saddened by our citizens who let the media tell them what to do. They spend more time lining up their Netflix queue than learning about the candidates and issues. I am still hopeful though, because I think Huckabee is the future of the GOP.

Let’s see how those people feel next year if HRC or Oboma gets elected because the Conservatives in Texas did what the Talk Shows told them to do insted of voting for Mike Huckabee the best man to run for President in years and years.

Anita,
You are right. The media, especially the conservative media, did him in.

The point you make about his non-evangelical support is true as well. The sad part about it all is this. He didn’t have the support of as many evangelicals as the media would have us believe. There were a lot of them, in Texas for sure, that were persuaded to vote in the Democratic primary, in order to influence that outcome. They should have stuck to their guns and voted for Huckabee in the Republican primary. My Dad voted for Mitt Romney in the Oklahoma primary and I still haven’t figured that one out.

I’m still planning on voting for Huckabee in our Nebraska primaries in May. If Huckabee had received half the media attention that the others received he would not be out. He won Iowa- everyone was surprised. He had just a few days to campaign in NH where he had no name recognition and he lost. The media dropped him like a hot potato. Made me sick- as well as the lopsidedness of the debates. I guess we can only look forward to 2012.

One last complaint- the media constantly said he only had the support of Evangelicals. I’m not one and he had my support- nothing like the media influencing the population.

Dominique,
Yes, it is very frustrating to see these articles being written when they would have really helped earlier in the campaign.

And yes, it is very encouraging to see Mike wanting to stay in contact with his supporters. Unlike any candidate we have seen.

I just moved from Tulsa, Oklahoma so when I saw JC Watts name, my interest was piqued.

I was a little frustrated this morning when I found several articles about how Mike is such a great asset. Where were these opinions, people and articles when Mike needed them.

I’m glad to know that it really isn’t over, however, because Mike is not finished by a long shot.

All you have to do is take a look at his website.

BTW, have you ever heard of a candidate wanting to stay in touch with his supporters AFTER he loses. I haven’t. That shows you what kind of man Huckabee really is. Good, decent, honest, compassionate, loyal, worthy of our commitment to him.

The political corruption today is sickening. Some politicians claim to be for the moral issues; but their actions speak louder that than their words. “Character Makes a Difference” and Mike Huckabee literally wrote the book on it. He leads us by example.

America was founded on godly principles. We were blessed because, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD” (Psalm 33:12a) I fear what will happen to America if she continues turning her back on God.
