Thompson's Exit May Lift Huckabee

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

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.
