As I have been telling everyone that will listen about my ferverent support for Mike Huckabee as our next President, I constantly hear people say that they like Huckabee, but they can’t support him because he can’t win against Hillary or any other Democrat. Of course I have heard the same thing about the other (R) candidates as well. The conventional wisdom goes that a Democrat will win next year, but I strongly believe that if we put put up a candidate that will rally the base, that we can overcome the conventional wisdom. Mike Huckabee is that man. Mitt Flip-Flop Romney will not do it. The liberal Rudy will surely not do it. Fred Thompson could do it if he had some drive and passion. I agree with Fred on many issues, but he does not articulate his ideas well. He would be terrible at pushing good public policy through congress. I could see democrats running over him, just like they do Bush. Can you say lame duck from the start. But I will hold my nose and vote for him if he wins the nomination That is not the case for Rudy. On the other hand, Mike Huckabee is better at articulating the conservative message than anyone I have observed in the political arena. The only thing holding him back is name recognition and money. That is quickly changing. Some recent polls have him doing very well both in Iowa, Febuary 5th states, and even nationally. A just released Zogby poll has him beating Hillary Clinton in a matchup by 5%! Not even Rudy can claim that. I think it is because of crossover apeal. Now some right wing republicans are not going to like that. But we need a president who will unite the country, not divide it. I feel so strongly about this issue that I have donated over $2000 dollars to the Huckabee Campaign. It looks like my hard earned money is paying off. If you care about the country, I ask you to please donate to the Huckabee campaign. If you can afford 10 or 20 dollars, that is fine. Every little bit helps. Help Mike reach his goal of 1.25 million raised online in the month of November. He does not have the war chest of Rudy or Mitt, but with a little well spent money, he can beat back the attacks that will surely come, so that he can become our next President.
