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