CONTINUING FEBRUARY 29TH!

Our tracking statistics tell us that only half of the reminder emails that were sent out yesterday were read; and a few of those who did look at the email, have not gotten around to making their donation yet. Therefore, we still have almost three quarters of the existing pledges still outstanding! Today might be a bigger day than yesterday! We are extending the fundraiser into the 29th to accommodate those who have yet to donate their pledge. Do it now!

TEXAS is looking good for Mike...

PLEASE NOTE: the political anaylist at the end of this video is dead wrong! Mike Huckabee does not need to get 1191 delegates (which is now impossible) to win, he only needs to stop McCain from getting that many. If he does, most of the delegates are released at the convention, and can then vote for whoever they want. Mike Huckabee, being far more conservative than McCain, and an excellent speaker, could win such a vote at the convention!

So remember, this nomination process is far from over! We need you to DONATE NOW! Winning Texas is the first big step toward keeping our chances alive! You can make a difference!

FEBRUARY 28TH HAS ARRIVED!

Give $25, $50, or even $100 if you can..

https://mikehuckabee.com/?FuseAction=Contribute...

We have over six hundred people who are pledging to donate over the next 24 hours! Please join us IMMEDIATELY to help make this a huge day of contributions at the Huckabee campaign website, even if you never signed up! Our donor code is R63.

The Mike Huckabee campaign released a new television ad for Texas this morning. They need our help to fund this great message all over Texas. Make a Donation NOW!

February 28th Donation Drive!

URGENT CIRCUMSTANCES

We have officially canceled the old fundraising system that was intended to reach ten thousand pledges. It was determined that we must make use of what we have accomplished so far immediately.

We are asking those who took the Pledge for Huckabee to donate their $25 on February 28th in spite of the fact we have not reached ten thousand pledges. Everyone who signed up under the old terms has been given the option to back out, but most of them are sticking with us! With over six hundred pledges outstanding, we have $15,000 ready to send Huckabee on February 28th!

Using this momentum we are organizing this project to encourage the rest of the grassroots community to join us in making February 28th the single largest donation day in the history of the campaign!

Take the Pledge and Spread the Word!

The Fight Has Only Begun

McCain raked in a substantial number of delegates yesterday, taking almost every swing state from Romney. Current estimates show him now topping off at over five hundred delegates. However, most people do not realize that McCain victories last night were comprised of all the big delegate liberal states: New York, California, New Jersey, Illinois, and Connecticut.

You can look at it this way: McCain has now used up all his time outs. From here on in it is a majority of extremely conservative electorates that will be much, much less favorable to McCain. All the hype that will be coming from the media about his momentum might be in for a real shock. Remember, this is a marathon not a sprint.

With McCain losing credibility as a conservative among core republicans, and Romney showing his weakness as a candidate (little progress for spending millions of dollars), a great window of opportunity is opening up for Huckabee. The remainder of the states will be holding their primaries in smaller clusters from here on in, a factor that plays to Huckabee's advantage as he is unable to spend a lot of money in a short time.

For analysis on road ahead in the republican nomination and an outlook for Mike Huckabee's campaign, read the article below that was posted on the Living On Anon blog (good stuff):

http://loanon.blogspot.com/2008/02/mike...

liberal states have spoken, and from now until June 3, the conservative states will have their turn. Huckabee now has momentum, and I believe the rest of this primary is his to take.

In case you need to be reminded, Huckabee was once the national front runner. It is not just a dream that he could rise to such a position, he has been there before! Huckabee's chances are now as good as ever.

Huckabee Victories Stun All

"Huckabee appears to be the night's big surprise with wins across the South." - NBC News

Falsifying the predictions of almost every state primary poll, and beating all expectations, Tom Brokaw of NBC News even proclaimed "The number two man in the race appears to be Mike Huckabee." The former Arkansas Governor walks away from Super Tuesday with five very significant wins, most of them listed as extremely valuable winner-take-all states.

For Mitt Romney, who attempted to gain an artificial boost by pretending Huckabee was no longer a contender, is now ironically facing that same fate himself. Gathering only a handful of expected victories, and loosing almost every critical toss up state to Senator John McCain, commentators are even talking about how realistic it is for him to stay in the race.

"His strong performance seemed to prove that he’s more than just a spoiler for Romney, as the former Massachusetts governor had suggested." - FOX News

Once again, in spite of investing millions of dollars of his own money in negative advertising, Romney simply lacks the ability to capture the American people with his message. On the other hand, what Huckabee has been able to accomplish today is not only unpresidented, it is staggering to the mind. He has matched the results of a man who has spent millions of more dollars and enjoyed hundreds of more hours of media coverage.

Huckabee is back on the path to victory.

Prepare yourself for an incredible night.

Huckabee Wins West Virginia

In a totally bizarre turn of events, Mike Huckabee has ended up clinching victory in the West Virginia delegate convention! Keep in mind that Mitt Romney was the overwhelming favorite to win this 18 delegate prize. As I heard one commentator say over the last two days, "in politics, the unexpected always happens." That of course being a reference to the potential results of Super Tuesday. So far, that is proving true.

What a great way to start Super Tuesday!

Florida Results Analysis

We desperately urge you to read what Matt has written on his blog "Vote for Huckabee" about the state of the Huckabee campaign. Looking ahead to Super Tuesday, Mike Huckabee is expected to start raking in the delegates. Be encouraged and get excited!

http://voteforhuckabee.blogspot.com/2008/01...

We enjoy promoting these excellent articles that are being written by Mike Huckabee bloggers. Drop us a line if you would like us to consider posting about something you have written.

Chuck Norris vs. Sean Hannity

Chuck Norris is pretty awesome. He doesn't try to dodge questions or avoid admitting when he is wrong. It makes him a very honest and convincing advocate for Mike Huckabee. This interview is more entertaining than informative, but we thought it was well worth watching.

Florida Primary Today

Today is the "winner takes all" Florida primary, which means that the first place candidates take home all 57 delegates, even if he only wins by one vote. The stakes are very high for McCain and Romney who are competing for first place.

Huckabee has been "expected" to take fourth place, but a recent trend has demonstrated he is within reach of finishing third, ahead of Giuliani. One of the unfortunate factors for Huckabee has been the false media reports that he was "skipping" Florida, when in fact he has been there every day this week.

Once again we recommend tracking the live results tonight at the Politico website. The results should start coming in at 8:00 PM EST when the last polls close in the panhandle.

Huckabee Releases New TV Ad

Of all the TV ads released by the campaign, this is the most brilliant one of them all. We urge you to flood the campaign with donations to get this ad playing everywhere it possibly can! We believe this message is powerful enough to shake up the whole presidential race all over again.

Make your Contribution NOW!

And take the Pledge for Huckabee too.

Live Streaming of Debate

Tonight the republican presidential candidates will debate in Florida. MSNBC has announced they will stream the debate live from their website. The debate will be on from 9:00 - 10:30 PM EST.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/

Historically, presidential debates have always provided an enormous boost to the Huckabee campaign because of his strong message and legendary ability to communicate.

Thompson's Exit May Lift Huckabee

With Thompson withdrawing, the Mike Huckabee campaign is preparing to welcome a wave of new supporters.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics...

His decision would seem potentially to help Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, who has competed for many of the same conservative voters that Thompson sought to appeal to. Huckabee said Tuesday he might have come in second in South Carolina because Thompson had siphoned off much of his support, permitting Sen. John McCain of Arizona to win.

The news items in Huckabee's favor have really been piling up the last couple of days! Take courage, a groundswell of momentum is building and ready to burst. The field of candidates is also narrowing, and Huckabee is still standing just fine.

Huckabee is the Only Hope for Republicans

While reading the story on CNN's website about Duncan Hunter endorsing Mike Huckabee, I was struck by the profound wisdom from one of the individuals commenting on the story:

Mike Huckabee is perhaps the most charismatic and likable politician America has seen for the last many years. He could easily win against Clinton or Obama in the general election. It is unfortunate for the Republican party, and perhaps for the country, that the elites are conspiring to undermine his candidacy.

Does the Republican establishment not recognize that Romney is unelectable: not only because most people in this country are deeply suspicious of Mormonism, but because he comes across as a flip-flopper and a phony? McCain is perhaps slightly more acceptable to the ruling powers than is Huckabee, but he is a pariah in the eyes of many conservatives, plus he is woefully uncharismatic. And of course, Ghoul-iani is perhaps even less electable than the others.

The best , perhaps the only, chance Republicans have to win the general election is to nominate Huckabee, whose charismatic style could easily convert some Democrats and independents to his cause. Already, African-American church leaders are coming to his support in droves. Duncan Hunter's endorsement should provide a much-needed shot in the arm for Huckabee's faltering campaign.

With Fred Thompson out of the race, it is even more clear who republicans must to pick if they want a true conservative in the White House. The only other contenders (Giuliani, McCain, and Romney) all have recent records riddled with weak support for pro-life, pro-marriage, and pro-second amendment issues. The last hard core conservative left who supports these essential doctrines of the republican party is Mike Huckabee. Lots of people are starting to realize this!

Duncan Hunter Gives Boost to Huckabee

Today the Huckabee campaign gained a huge boost in credibility among true conservatives with the endorsement of former presidential candidate Duncan Hunter. Get all the details over at CNN:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/01/23...

Hunter: "Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity. I saw that character over the last year of campaigning and was greatly impressed. The other Republican candidates have many strengths and I wish them all well."

Duncan Hunter never gained much support during his presidential run, but his endorsement still carries a lot of weight on the national news scene. For the Huckabee campaign this is another big sign of revival, although he still holds a strong second place in national polling.

Perhaps the most ironic factor of this endorsement has to do with Ann Coulter. She has been one of Duncan Hunter's biggest fans. The interesting part is that she has also been one of Huckabee's strongest critics. Obviously this endorsement is turning into an awkward moment for her. But perhaps is may serve as an encouragement for her to reconsider her misinformed disappointed of Huckabee.

Strong Showing in SC Primary

Here is a perfectly beautiful post from Matt King who operates the Vote for Huckabee weblog. He is also one of our proud supporting blogs for Huckabee Momentum and a gold medal volunteer achiever. If you have any time at all you simply must read his perspective on the South Carolina Primary. It is the truth, and it is awesome news!

http://voteforhuckabee.blogspot.com/2008/01...

Our own analysis of the SC Primary was going to be quite similar to this wonderful piece, so we may hold off on what we were preparing.

Now What?

Huckabee had it right in his speech last night...

Not WHAT IF, but WHAT NOW

You must return to this blog on Monday night. We are in the process of writing an extremely important article. There is a wealth of unrecognized factors from the results of the South Carolina Primary yesterday. Huckabee's narrow loss is a sad thing, but it is not bad!

We urge you not to fall for any of the media's rhetoric about Huckabee's second place finish until you read this upcoming blog post we are preparing. You will not want to miss it!

Live SC Primary Results

Politico.com is once again providing one of the nicest interfaces to track the live results from the South Carolina Primary:

Results should start coming in at 6:00 PM CST.

Last Minute Poll: Way Ahead in SC!

Literally minutes ago the American Research Group unveiled the most recent polling data for South Carolina. On the eve of the state's critical primary they are showing Huckabee with a SEVEN point lead! Even more interesting is that the poll they released before this one, done only a day earlier, had reported John McCain being ahead by ten points.

I have yet to observe such a dramatic shift in results from any pollster over such a short period of time. To see the data for yourself, visit the official website of the American Research Group:

http://americanresearchgroup.com/

January 15-16
33% John McCain
23% Mike Huckabee

January 17-18
33% Mike Huckabee
26% John McCain

Not only does this strongly illustrate the volatile nature of polling, but the fact that McCain's spike in popularity could leave as quickly as it came. It will be a fascinating when we know what actually happens tomorrow.
