Huck ain't denying McCain the nomination. What you meant to say is that:

It'd be the VOTERS denying McCain the nomination.

Big Distinction

Read the Washington Post - McCain's whole campaign is run by lobbyists....he is a fraud..Huck has a chance for a brokered convention if he can win out.....

The heads at CPAC didn't force Romney out to pave the way for Huckabee. The establishment's die is cast with McCain. Even if it means a blowout for the other party. Just look at all the talking heads backing McCain over his latest "uck up." The will of the voters will NOT be allowed to get in the way of Hilliary or Obama's coronation. The party would rather have Bob Dole part II, than try to defeat the other Clinton. I am disgusted with the party. They deserve to lose, but we will be the ones suffering for the next four years. While they use Hilliary or Obama to shake us down for more money to "fight her" then. If they don't stop her or Obama NOW, they don't deserve to be called Republicans and darn sure don't deserve our cash!

So Rush and Coulter are on the Huckster`s, the real Neocon, bandwagon now?

cba...you're so funny!! "shake us down for our money"!! Are you kidding me! How much do you think the Republican war in Iraq is costing you each month? Try over a Billion Dollars! Hello, who's money is that? You think just because Bush is using the credit card that sooner or later you and I and everyone else isn't going to have to pay? Hello, it is that Republican attitude of "I can't add, put it on the card" that has gotten us into the financial mess we are in! Nice Try!!

PLEASE, Texas. PLEASE, Ohio.
Let the people take back this election from the pundits and the manipulations of the GOP brass. We are sick of politics as usual, and don't want McCain.

Google Huckabee and ethics violations.

Ha-ha! Wouldn't I love to see Obama debate a candidate who doesn't believe in evolution, and thinks people were around in the days of the dinosaurs! Then again, running against Grandpa McWarMonger, who wants to keep us in Iraq for another 100 years (when far and away most Americans want us out NOW) looks pretty good too! Love that picture of your man giving a big, teary eyed hug to the most unpopular president in American history other than Nixon! Put out the lights, Captain McCrypt, and don't forget to check the Depends snaps before toddling to bed.

If you think Hilliary (I supported the war before I was against it) or Obama who wants to go full bore into Afghanistan represents CHANGE you are dreaming. McCain wants to invade everybody, and Huckabee sees nothing wrong with staying in Iraq for 100 years either since according to him, "we OWN it." NO MAJOR CANIDATE will get us out of IRAQ!!! Yet you still go on paying your taxes, with the illusion of choice in every election. With the false assumption that if things go wrong, you voted against that person or were "against that issue" even though your canidate SUPPORTS it. (Oh and John, if you could read I was protesting the fact that the republicans are tanking this election with a liberal war hawk to counter ANOTHER liberal war hawk on the other side. I'm sorry you missed that. But then if you believe in the continued financing of the welfare/warfare state like everybody else. Your biggest enemy lies not just with either party, but yourself as well) Facts are stubborn things.

While Mike Huckabee is not aggressive in persuing his opponents failures, he has some great ideas and stands that will put this country right-side up. Some how, people have gotten the idea that he is another Republican hawk, that is not true at all. If you read about his foreign policies, he does not agree that we should have taken off into Iraq, but now that we are there, he wants to be able to turn it back to the Iraqi people in good standing. One of the reasons we have so much resistance in Iraq and other countries is because of the arrogant attitude of our president which Mike Huckabee has spoken out against. There would be a lot better relationships between us if we had a president who was willing to admit our sins and work to repair the damage we have done. That is who Mike Huckabee is, and he has been to many of these countries and seen exactly what is going on there. I

Most people who study him out are very impressed with his balanced and concerned approach. This is why the people of Arkansas re-elected him twice, even though they thought they didn't want him when he took office after Jim Guy Tucker was indicted.

Impact this nation Huckabee! He can debate anyone that will agree to without a flinch and have a genuine responce. Responces that prove how change can happen. This guy is the real deal and that is why he's not known by the drama world. They don't get the raatings and controversy that draw left brainers. I like Mike!

Governor Huckabee is the only social conservative in the presidential race. He is the only candidate who shares the basic convictions on the social issues with all fo the other social conservative voters.

He should stay in the race through all of the primaries. If he doesn't, then all of the social conservative issues (all the life issues, traditional marriage, freedom of religious expression, securing the border) will be swept under the rug by the moderate, secular, business-only wing of the party.

If Huckabee wasn't a holy roller who believed the earth was six thousand years old,he'd have some credibility. Anyone who thinks the earth is six thousand years old is delusional. Plus Huckabee wants the US to be a Taliban like nation. Never,ever vote for a delusional holy roller!

I was at Huckabee's rally in San Antonio last night. Judging from the size and enthusiasm of the crowd, his backers do not consider this race over by any means. If you care about issues like border security, fair tax and some kind of spending control, vote for Huckabee. No vote is a wasted vote.

>>and Huckabee sees nothing wrong with staying in Iraq for 100 years either since according to him, "we OWN it."
Where in the world did you get THAT?

How can a guy who wants to give taxpayer funded scholarships and in-state tuition to the children of illegals also be tough against immigration?

Answer: He can't. The Huckster's policies invite more illegals to come to the country.

This guy railed against the no-tax pledge and the no-amnesty pledge, then when it was politically convenient for him to sign them, he did.

He is not what he seems.

Behold the false prophet.

SHOCK The NATION TEXAS AND HUCKABEE!!!

Go Huck! We need you now more than ever.

GoMike? "Iraq is our responsibility, we broke it, we own it." Mike Huckabee, on Iraq during a televised GOP debate... Google it if you have to. Blind faith has it's limits. You'd think the lession would sink in after eight years of Bush. Couple this with McCain's assertions of staying on for 100 years and you see what the GOP has to offer: More debt, death, and destruction. Not a platform that is worth any vote. Not that Obama (Let's go into Afghanistan) Or Hilliary (I was for the war before I was against it) Will be ANY better. Denial is a wonderful thing...

Romniac? Umm...no. You must have me mistaken with someone else.

Fred was my first choice. Hunter was second.

Romney was further down the line, but I prefer even Ron Paul to the slimy Huckster.

You Huckabee supporters are being duped.

He is not what he seems.

I just voted for Huckabee here in Texas! Tancredo was my man, then Hunter, then Romney but you yankees got to vote 'em all out! Go Huckster!

Huckabee will strongly push for a constitutional amendment banning abortion. McCain is against it.

Huckabee is against embryonic stem cell reserch. McCain has voted for it twice and says he still is for it.

Huckabee will strongly push for a constitutional amendment banning homosexual marriage. McCain voted against it in the senate, not just once but twice.

Huckabee is for making all illegal immigrants leave the country within a 120 day window and then get in the back of the line for illegal immigration. McCain is for letting them stay and giving them amnesty.

That, obviously, is why Huckabee needs to stay in the race. If he gets out, his positions on these key social issues will go unheard.

Huckabee: Wants to Amend the Constitution to reflect his belief. That is a VIOLATIONS of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution which was ratified with the first 10 Amendments known as the BILL OF RIGHTS: 'Congress shall make NO LAW respecting an Establishment of Religion...' - That is NOT a suggestion, that is the LAW!

GOP voters might want to take another look at Governor Huckabee.

Given McCain's major problems with the FEC over campaign financing, his inner-circle staff made up of 29 lobbyists, his blind support for Bush's Iraq debacle, and a host of other potential problems, he might not prove to be their strongest candidate.

And of course if *anything* surfaces subsequently to contradict McCain's iron-clad denials yesterday regarding charges of his his inappropriately cozying up to lobbyists, his campaign will collapse overnight....

I consider McCain to be a real American Hero and I'm am certain that he is also a very decent and dedicated man. However, I don't think his presidency would amount to much more than Bush III. I would at least like to see these two reach an accord to put Huckabee on the ticket. He's earned it and the VP spot on both of these party tickets may prove to be very important in the long run. That way you can say you have a united party ticket and that at some level all of the party faithful were heard. Still, I would not discount Huckabee's chances to shake up the convention if necessary.

>>"Iraq is our responsibility, we broke it, we own it." Mike Huckabee, on Iraq during a televised GOP debate...
cba, let me put that in context for you, since you don't seem capable of doing so:
Ever heard the phrase, "You break it, you bought it"? His statement simply means that we are responsible for following through in Iraq. I agree with that.

Angie, don't be ridiculous. The statement about the Constitution has been widely misrepresented- it referred to Huckabee's support of an amendment to outlaw abortion. Regardless of how you feel about that, don't misconstrue it as an intention to impose Christianity on the United States! That's absurd- Mike Huckabee doesn't believe in a theocracy any more than you do.
I am not a right-wing Christian by any means- and am actually pro-choice- but the near-hysterical opposition to the fact that Huckabee was a Baptist preacher OVER TWENTY YEARS AGO is ridiculous and juvenile to me. Support or oppose a candidate because of his/her stand on illegal immigration or plans for tax reform or something relevant- not because of a knee-jerk reaction to a snippet you've seen in the press.

Re: Angie

Your above wrote this:
"Huckabee: Wants to Amend the Constitution to reflect his belief. That is a VIOLATIONS of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution which was ratified with the first 10 Amendments known as the BILL OF RIGHTS: 'Congress shall make NO LAW respecting an Establishment of Religion...' - That is NOT a suggestion, that is the LAW!"

Your are totally incorrect. There is absolutely no "violation" of the constitution. An amendment is not a law (statute). Amendments and laws are two totally different actions and follow different processes. When an amendment is done, it then is a part of the constitution -- so don't make the elementary mistake some make who are unfamiliar with the process and claim that the amendment would b unconstitutional. Nothing that is part of the constitution can be unconstitutional.

If you would like to learn the basics about an amendment, I suggest you read article 5 of the constitution, where the process of amending the constitution is spelled out in detail.

Hey Huck, learn some math!

This guy needs to stop fooling himself and come to terms already...it's over, Huckabee! Go back to making long-winded sermons.

Good grief you Huck supporters are delusional.

1. Huckabee took $35,000 from one of the world's foremost stem cell research companies. What he says and what he does are 2 different things.

2. The federal ban on abortion will never pass. The votes are not there, and won't be there anytime soon. Not to mention, unless the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, it'll never even make it to a vote.

3. Huckabee wants to give our taxpayer dollars to educate the children of illegals, with scholarships & in-state tuition. This encourages illegal immigration. He has yet to propose an idea for making them leave the country.

4. The Huckster ran the slimiest campaign of any candidate, on either side. Illegal push polls, fliers full of lies...and yes, his campaign knew and condoned them.

Huckabee is a snakeoil salesman. He's not a conservative. He's not running a clean, honest campaign. He's not going to win, either, thank God.

Sure does seem like an old Fred Thompson supporter is filled with bitter resentment towards Huckabee -- probably because Thompson at one time was leading in the polls and then most of the social conservatives left him and went to Huckabee.

And then Huckabee trounced Thompson in Iowa and then trounced him again in all of the other primaries through South Carolina.

And then finally Thompson had to finally drop out, without winning a single primary or caucus and not even ever coming in second, while Huckabee was winning numerous caucuses and primaries, mostly with the supporters that had left Thompson and gone instead to him.

Yes, it is easy to understand the animus of some Thompson supporters towards Huckabee. Many people would call it envy and jealousy.

BUT, BIG RED you forgot something important here. You don't get to choose from perfect candidates, you get to choose from the ones we have. I cannot say that you are accurate on your allegations, but before you go doing some character assasignations, I think you should have your story straight with evidence. Anyone can make allegations, but there needs to be proof. In John McCain's case, while there isn't enough evidence to convict him of an affair, there is certainly enough to show that he should not be given our trust.

Dear Poor, Delusional bigred:
1. Huckabee has received money from companies that perform stem cell research- so what? The man is a public speaker, and if he chooses to accept money for a speech, it doesn't mean he has to agree with the philosophies of the group he's addressing.
2. As noted, millions of Huckabee supporters are not focused on his candidacy because of anti-abortion legislation. If it "will never pass", I really don't care. I am voting for him because of his plan for illegal immigration, the FairTax, and several other issues.
3. Distorting a program in which he supported academic scholarships for immigrant children as Governor of Arkansas is not pertinent to this campaign. You are ABSOLUTELY wrong about Huckabee on illegal immigration. Directly from his website:
Prevent Amnesty
Policies that promote or tolerate amnesty will be rejected.
Propose to provide all illegal immigrants a 120-day window to register with the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services and leave the country. Those who register and return to their home country will face no penalty if they later apply to immigrate or visit; those who do not return home will be, when caught, barred from future reentry for a period of 10 years.
This is not a "touchback" provision. Those who leave this country and apply to return from their home country would go to the back of the line.
4. Huckabee has run the cleanest campaign of any presidential candidate this year, probably ever. These allegations are lies.
He is a man of integrity, and your attack is not only unmerited, it's outrageously false.

Just one question: How does Huckabee get anyone to vote for him outside of his base? Better tell Mike make nice with John while he can, because the only way "Tax-hike Mike" who never met a criminal he never liked, makes it to the White House is if Hilliary and Obama drop out and McCain makes him his VP. Hating doesn't make it less true.

Just an aside- to what I hope is friendly debate here: does anyone else feel that our primary system is outdated and unfair? Wouldn't it be better to have a period- say, six months to a year- of campaigning followed by a national primary vote? Maybe over three or four days?
Maybe this is already being discussed on talk radio; I'm not a listener. It just seems to me that the way things are set up now allows way too much media manipulation, and backroom party deal-making. Wouldn't it be a far more democratic process if we just shortened the voting timeframe, so that it's not this guy with momentum this week because of some flukey state, and the next week it's someone else?

Actually, cba, if you take the time to learn about his positions, he isn't what he has been pigeon-holed to be. He is mostly moderate in his ideas, but more than that, rather common-sense.

His record on criminals show simply that he took the time to review each case, think them through and do what seemed best at the time. Wayne Dumond was paroled by the parole board, not pardoned by Huckabee. At least he didn't refuse to even consider any of the cases brought before him like Romney did. He refused to pardon an Iraq veteran who, as a teenager had plinked a friend with a BB gun, but did not break the skin. When he went to apply for a job as a police officer, he was turned down because of this record.

You see you can beat up anyone, but in the end we will call one Mr. or Mdm. President, and I would rather it was one who thinks carefully about what the job requires, and how to most judiciously execute the job given him or her.

Mike Huckabee has the kind of common-sense approach that will work will all kinds of people's beliefs and ideas to accomplish the job that needs to be done.

I don't understand Duncan Hunter supporters who don't like Huckabee. Duncan Hunter has endorsed Mike Huckabee.

Also, if you believe that Mike Huckabee has committed ethics violations, you are listening to his opponents. Mike Huckabee has never, I repeat never been found guilty of ethics violations.

Finally, there's this boring thing about the theory of evolution. What is the theory of evolution this week? It changes more often than Jerry Lewis changes his socks.

Here's irony for you: they berate you for believing in the Bible, then they berate you again for NOT believing in the theory of evolution. Make up your minds.

Go Huck!

DREAMERs and miracle HOPERs:

1) Huckabee dreaming of a brockered
convention,by winning in Texas or
0hio, etc., when the polls indicate
that he will receive there 20%, max
25% of the votes

2) Hillary dreaming of recuperate the
advantage of Obama of 143 pledges
delegates, when the polls indicate
that she most probably will LOOSE
Texas and in best case draw Ohio.
And further that the Superdelegates
will risk their hide by reverting
the will of the voters or that the
DNC and/or the superdelegates in
convention will approve the seating
of Florida and Michigan candidates.

3) a)Paul + b) Nader dreaming that
somebody somebody cares about them,
other then being annoyed by their
nibbling some votes from a) McCain
and b) Democrats.

Shoud somebody not awake them ??

TOM

So Tom, what your saying is that since Mike Huckabee only has a thin chance of winning, I should just baa, baa baaack McCain or one of the other candidates whom I can't stand the thought of voting for? I have always been and independent, because I have never assumed that one party or the other was going to come up with the greatest candidate every time. But left with the choices, I will continue to delude myself that my one vote might make a difference.

A vote for McCain is a vote for Bush.
A vote for Romney is a vote for the male version of Hilliary.
A vote for Huckabee is a vote for Jimmy Carter.
A vote for Obama is a vote for... well maybe he'll tell us before the inauguration, who the hell knows?
A vote for Hilliary is a vote for Bill. Jeez with choices like this it makes you just want to run out and waste your vote, doesn't it? Folks, leadership will NOT come from the Presidency, or whoever backs into it. (Let's face it, they're not exactly running FOR anything, are they? I mean War, "Change", basically the same universal agenda of expanding the welfare/warfare state with a different race, age or sex on who leads the charge... but essientially the same thing) So if you REALLY want "change" to happen you have NO choice... Call your congressman, representative, and give them HELL!!! Because these people running DON'T have the answers to ANYTHING! You have to tell your representatives what you want, otherwise they will decide for you, and you will be complaining at the wrong person. Ultimately apathy breeds complacency. And in the vacuum, without fear of being thrown out of office, your elected officals DON'T have to give a damn about what you think. Until you take action to correct it, please don't pretend that whoever get's in the White House will change anything or bother to listen to your complaints. However it's nice to see you have the ability, you just need to aim it at those responsible, rather than waste it on each other.

Hey, Tom- This is from today's LA Times:
"Polls in Texas vary widely, but the Real Clear Politics aggregate gives McCain a 12-point lead, which might be close enough for Huckabee to pull off a surprise."
Oh, PLEASE Texas- surprise us!

James: Free thinkers would not impose their religion on everyone.

James: While I agree with you on many points, it finally dawned on me why the media and all the Repubs have been hashing Huckabee so bad. It is because of the way he dealt with corruption in Arkansas. He was very instrumental in bringing down a number of corrupt politicians, so that makes him very dangerous to the insiders who have had the support of the people AND the money of the lobbyists. Of course the most corrupt states have been the ones to pull off the most amazing stunts-Like louisiana. They fear him more than the honest ones. No wonder Fox was so bitter about him. No wonder some of the others have refused to give him fair time.

Sorry James, we got rid of them. They belong to someone else now. NY can have them! If Huck can move in next door, so much the better. As long as all three are gone from Arkansas.

I voted for Huckabee because of his sincere moral grounding and his clear approach to tackling the issues. I felt that he would be able to bring a lot of good strong discussion to the table either with Clinton or Obama. He came across in the debates better than any of the other candidates. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have the financial and political clout. Plus too many people are afraid of his unashamed faith.

Rasmussen Texas Republican Primary Poll

Friday, February 22, 2008

In the Texas Republican Presidential Primary, John McCain leads Mike Huckabee 46% to 37%. Ron Paul picks up 8% of the vote while 9% are not sure.

It'll be interesting to see what all the radio pundits will do about this now - I can't believe they got tossed a smear campaign and their common sense went completely out the window. You would think with all the dirty gamesmanship they play they'd be better able to take it all in stride. Apparently that's not the case.

I think Rush and Ingraham were supposed to pick up on the subtext and kick McCain while he was down and seize the opportunity to urge the pledged (but not bound) delegates to support Huckabee at the convention. But they got all panicky and went the wrong way and just started lashing out at the NYT . . . duh!

Let’s all send a political conservative shock wave all the way to Washington D.C. and vote for Huckabee!

Huckabee cannot be compared to a "wimpy" "liberal" Jimmy Carter. Sorry Jimmy, not personal.

Let's stop stereotyping and stick to the facts.

The level of arrogance and ignorance displayed by the "free thinkers" and the Country Club Republicans in this thread is not a surprise.

Unregenerated minds are filed with holes and tend to get glogged with filth.

Huckabee is a real person with a real message.

The voters will decide who is worthy. Let the career politians pick their person. If I have to, I will write in Huckabee on Nov. 3! I will not compromise before the Holy One of Israel!

So bring on the your well crafted hate speech. All you ape men and children of pride.

Looks like the Huckabee supporters are learning from the Obama supporters, interesting.

"Looks like the Huckabee supporters are learning from the Obama supporters, interesting."

Please explain

My brother is a funeral director. He would be put in jail for murder if he attempted to bury the living. I have never witnessed such a well orchestrated attempt to get rid of someone as I have with Huckabee. The attempt has actually given his message credibility. Romney ran $89 million and couldn't beat Huckabee, who has spent $7 million. I want someone that can handle his finances that well. I don't have a ton a money to throw around but I manage to do well with what I have, so does MIke.

It is obvious when one says Huckabee is pro: changing constitution (the funny part is all front runners are back door working to amend our democracy, UNDERSTAND they want a NEW CONSTITUTION), amending abortion laws (there is alot more to right to life other than just abortion so if you think it won't pass, where is the risk with Huckabee?), religion (Obama is some form of religion requiring debate). The only dirt on Huckabee is he has friends (can't control others actions),Mike has no convictions of violations (other candidates relations and habits should be a concern.) All the negatives against Huck have a very weak defense of why not Huckabee. It is obvious the ones who comment have not confirmed with a reliable source referencing Huckabee's policies. Huck is the only candidate who is not involved with the corruption nor supporting it, at the higher levels. None of the allegations can be supported proving such a weak case of why not Mike Huckabee. The why is: Mike Huckabee has the nations best interest with a genuine plan that could impact this nation for the better. Any comment stating he is for increased taxes have not read the Fair Tax Act or they could not lay this claim. If you haven't taken the time to know the Act don't leave a false comment. Give a fact not an allegation if you want a true debate, although an opinion is respected, only if it has substance, not untruthful complaints. Let us tell the way it is, which than makes it reality, not the way somebody thinks it is. We can only go on the facts at hand and Huckabee has the greatest proven facts with solutions that can create change for the better not the bigger. He's a genuine home grown person not a government grown media controlled movie star. For the best life for me I'll vote Mike Huckabee.

What is it about Arkansas politicians?
Both Hillary Clinton and Huck know they can't win their respective nominations fairly and are more than willing to let Party Hacks Steal the Nominations for them! What ever happened to the will of the people!
Huck and Hillary bow out graciously and go back to Arkansas where I guess people think its OK to screw the voters!

>>Party Hacks Steal the Nominations for them
WTH?
I wish the party hacks WOULD steal the nomination for Huckaee!

You say your Reagan fan. It sounds like your for Obama. And if the United States was based on people who "bow out" this country would be no better than a place like Europe. The Muslims are taking over because most of the people of Europe are giving up or "bowing out" and don't stand up for what they believe is right. Reagan fan, your the type of person that is broil on America's side because you don't have what it takes and don't give any more sorry advise, it's not needed for the health of the United States (believe it or not) . The will of the people is still present but you are going against it. Keep your vote at home and let the people that studied the candidates vote. It will turn out better that way.

A lot of people are afraid of Mike Huckabee winning… He cuts right through the fakeness and political correctness that plagues American politics and indirectly exposes it. Yes, Mike Huckabee is not perfect, but I believe he’s better than the alternatives. His Christian faith is a huge asset; like it or not. Christianity is the foundation that this country was built on. This country has been focused on promoting Christian characteristics like promoting Truth, promoting Justice, promoting Respect For our Fellow Human Beings. Also, Christianity promotes Grace which this country has had to fall on in times of hard self-evaluation and change. Also, Grace that says one cannot force Christianity on anyone. I believe Huckabee is not trying to force anything just trying to uphold a strong asset this country has. The twisting and ignoring of Christianity only makes things worse.

These are the characteristics that keep this country strong and have influenced free countries around the world.

Anyone with issues about Mike Huckabee can not supply a real source, other than you don't like his belief in God. Get a source with a fact that makes an unacceptable qualification to be the President of USA. That right their is my reason for, I like Mike..He is in favor of keeping it the USofA, not making us America. I'm for keeping the states and a nation. Is your candidate going to fight for that? Bring it on because the reason's I've read carry no weight.

Get 'em Region five. Go MIKE!!

bigred,

Regarding tuition for illegal immigrants: Huckabee supported allowing students seeking citizenship, who attended K-12 at the expense of Arkansas schools because of FEDERAL policies, to be able to compete for scholarships, etc., on the same basis as citizens so that -- once they are citizens and graduate -- they could get decent jobs and PAY TAXES. Better than having another whole generation living outside the tax system, if you ask me.

'Course, having been governor, Huck sees the whole picture. He wants secure borders, go-to-the-back-of-the-line-if-you're-illegal policies. He wants the Fair Tax to bring jobs back to America and eliminate the opportunity for illegals and criminals to avoid paying taxes. There's a whole lot more to Huck's plans than the siloed, special-interest plans the senators put forth.

Sam:
Actually I'm for John McCain!
Its just that Obama is a decent and
honorable person as opposed to
Hillary Clinton who is beneath contempt!
Until now I thought that Huck was an
honorable and decent man.
But his hoping for a deadlocked convention and some backdoor deal to give him the nomination is just plain wrong!

>>Until now I thought that Huck was an

But his hoping for a deadlocked convention and some backdoor deal to give him the nomination is just plain wrong!
Um- you DO realize that the same strategy was employed by Ronald Reagan, right? There is nothing dishonorable or indecent about it- it's a way to ensure the people have a voice in a process that's been widely manipulated.
