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!
