Uh NO Mitt, you and Huckster are splitting your support base and allowing McCain to win, with non-conservatives. You two are actually enabling John to win with the media, and the non-conservatives. I'm sure that the Democrats will be greatful to you for helping a fellow Democrat win the nomination to run against the corporate Democrat named Hilliary. But then again, who really cares when there's five Democrats running in the two parties. Nice to see that big media was able to marginalize and eliminate all of the conservaties for the nomination fight. Just don't expect real Republicans to waste their time picking between a Democrat with R next to their name; Vs. the Democrat who's running with the D. Real Republicans will stay home and Hilliary will win. After all what's good for big buisness is what's good for America. Just NOT the American people.

Hey-Ben, when the GOP elephant is released back into the wild, it will die, because it won't be able to survive in a liberal environment. It will fear the actual freedom and long for it's improper management and neglect.

Put a fork in him. Marvelous Mitt is done.

He's spent a bazillion dollars on marketing, messaging and campaigning. And he still can't break through. He did however win a poll for the candidate that folks would most like to beat up. Guess that's something.

He should just step aside and make this a two way race between Huck and McCain.

Just so everyone knows the Romney aid had it right here is the breakdown for last night.

HUCKABEE: AL, AR, GA, TN, WV
MCCAIN: AZ, CT, DE, IL, MO, NJ, NY, OK
ROMNEY: AK, CO, MA, MN, MT, ND, UT

That is Huckabee 5, McCain 8 and Romney 7.

And, for every one that now thinks this should be a McCain-Huckabee race now (what a love fest that would be) Huckabee still trails Romney by close to 100 delegates, has won fewer states and only wins states with large evangelical populations.

Romney on the other hand has show that he can reach out to many different demographics and has consistently won the most conservative voters over. States where he is know best tend to overwhelmingly vote for Romney (hey maybe they know something the media isn't feeding you, i.e. the flip-flop myth). That is more than Huckabee and McCain who each had a run for their money in their own home states.

Even if Romney doesn't end up winning the nomination, which may happen, at least he will have his integrity. As those who know him best will attest, at the end of the day Romney will still be the incredibly successful, crazy smart, honest, family man that he has always been. What a shame if it turns out that this is not what America is looking for.

What is wrong with all you Americans???? Romney is the only candidate that will bring this country back to where it should be. e is the one with all the experience and the best person for the job. McCain is OLD school and admits he is no knowledge about economics . Actually he lied about that during debate. A reporter found two articles where he did say exactly that. Wake up Amercia....This year more than ever we need someone who can get this country back on its feet. McCain is not the man. Mitt is.

Romney and Huckabee defeated each other, they need to combine forces and beat McCain. I doubt that will happen, because McCain has Huckabee in his back pocket an example Georgia. Romney is the true conservative, look at the vote in Arizona McCain's home state. McCain is in trouble with the conservatives in the Republician party. He will need them to beat the Democrates.

I apologize, it seem the list I pulled left out California which would have put McCain at 9 states.

The rest of my post stands.

On Romney
"That is more than Huckabee and McCain who each had a run for their money in their own home states."

What a load of you know what that stinketh greatly.

There was a serious HuckaBEATDOWN in Arkansas administered to Mischievous Mitt.

Mitt Romney is a phony. Mitt will say anything and do anything to get your vote. Voters are figuring this out. Mitt is not going anywhere.

But maybe if he make nice, Huck might consider him for Assistant to the Treasury undersecretary position or ambassador to France or something like that.

A Huckabee Romney team-up seems highly unlikely mostly because Huckabee is almost as liberal as McCain. His only 2 issues where he has been a consistent conservative are being pro life and against gay marriage. Lucky for him these are 2 very important concerns for evangelical voters or he would be totally lost.

That fact that Huckabee only wins in the states that have a large evangelical population and constantly losses in other demographics says mountains about why Huckabee is garnering any of the conservative votes at all.

Evangelicals have historically voted conservative so there has either been a considerable shift in their voting preferences, they are so enamored by Huckabee's identity politics that they think having an evangelical candidate is more important than looking at actual issues or they just don't want that Mormon to be our next president.

Personally it seems that it is a combination of the last two. I have to believe that if Huckabee wasn’t a Baptist Minister he would not be in this race. Please, find some polls or facts that prove me wrong.

In any case this is why it is highly unlikely that Romney could ever combine forces with Huckabee. Besides Huckabee has too much man love for McCain right now, watch a debate or two is you don't believe me.

It's so interesting to read the posts of those who claim to be Christian. It amazes me that there was ever a question about Mr. Romney's faith when it's all of Huckabee's supporters that spout such unChristian venom. Even Dr. Dobson endorsed Mr. Romney, so I voted for him and would do so again, very proudly.

Mike Huckabee is a dishonest preacher who continues to vulgarly lie that he and John McCain are in "a two man race", despite the fact that oleaginous Huckabee is in third place in states and in delegates won. A lying preacher wants to be president and his sniveling, illiterate apologists are clamoring for him on abc.com.

To The Commander Guy | Feb 6, 2008 4:15:57 PM you’re right I was wrong on this one. Huckabee did kick some expletive in his home state. Thank you for correcting me.

Cheap Shot on the Huck by Jake. So many hurtful comments.

But I am just going to take a page out of a book that Huck like to read and turn the other cheek to the HATE.

I will say this however, with Huck, what you see is what you get. He says what he means and means what he says. You are not going to get a guy who changes his positions on the issues in odd and even years.

Yeah I know he's been criticized for being compassionate to those in need. But that's just the type of guy he is. He ain't gonna change just because some poll tells him that compassion is not popular.

Huck is the real deal. He can beat HRC. Romney can't.

Nuff said.

Mitt,

Tom Brady lost too but no one is telling him to quit football.

You should keep up the debate. Your message is good and great.

To Layne Pitcher

Yep. And come this November there is gonna be an all out Arkansas Battle Royale that Hill and Bill ain't gonna like one bit.

Layne Pitcher caterwauled "Cheap Shot on the Huck by Jake". Yet, she was not able to refute her hero Mike Huckabee's vulgar lying that he is in "a two man race" with John McCain, despite being in third place in states and delegates won.

To The Commander Guy | Feb 6, 2008 4:47:17 PM. So when Huckabee wants to give scholarships to the children of illegal immigrants and pushes for provide drivers licenses to illegal immigrates before he runs for president And then starts talking tough on immigration half way through his run for presidency, even saying he would be against the children of illegal immigrant’s being able to claim citizenship because they are born here, you are saying that isn't "a guy who changes his positions on the issues in odd and even years" that’s "compassionate".

Please don't insult our intelligence.

It was interesting last night to see Glenn Beck ask Huckster why he was going after Romney since McCain is the front runner. His answer was that Romney drew first blood and actually had an ad about his record. So, Beck asked him "So it's all about revenge?" It would seem that most of Huckster's constituency would seem to be on his bandwagon for his social views (unless they really like releasing felons). Yet the one man that has thumbed his nose at those values is none other than John McCain. Where's the furvor for McCain-Feingold that denied Wisconsin Right to Life of their voice? Where's the outrage that McCain doesn't support the marriage amendment? (btw..Romney does) Where's the outrage that McCain has come out and said he doesn't care about social issues?

Yes...Huckster fans..that's who you are electing. Do you really think those values are valued by McCain? Or do you really care? Maybe Huck gets you more fired up to bash Romney, play the Mormon card or contrast himself to Mitt being successful...heaven forbid people actually be successful. I talked to one Huck supporter at my office and said he would really like for him to start to act like he's running for president and not McCain's VP/wingman.

Sorry, Layne Pitcer. I accidentally attributed The Commander Dunce's statement to you. I wonder what he commands, considering that he is condoning Mike Huckabee, who waddled to Iowa and giggled that he is Christian, then decided to quit mentioning that in advertisements in New Hampshire.

Jake, I'm a man, I'm for Mitt Romney and I believe you are right when you said "Mike Huckabee is a dishonest preacher who continues to vulgarly lie that he and John McCain are in "a two man race"". You may be confusing me with The Commander Guy.

Just wanting to clarify in case there was any confusion.
