Great article. Looks at strategy, states and the FOX debacle.
Don't Give Up on Huckabee
Tuesday, January 29, 2008 8:28 AM
By: Doug Wead Article Font Size
Talking heads are saying that the race for the GOP nomination is now between John McCain and Mitt Romney. But as Lee Corson would say on College Game Day, “not so fast.”
Gov. Mike Huckabee’s campaign has already startled the wearisome herd of pundits who visit the same watering holes in the Boston, New York, Washington corridor. Last September he was considered “peaking” as the national favorite of 9 percent of GOP voters which put him behind the anointed media winner Rudolph Giuliani, followed by Fred Thompson, John McCain, Mitt Romney and even New Gingrich, who had already signaled he wasn’t going to run.
In January, the same ABC polls showed him second only to McCain nationwide and leading in Iowa.
While the same mindless herd now gives it all to John McCain, with the same certainty that they had once consistently held for two years for Rudolph Giuliani, and while this time the herd is probably right, there are still some looming stories on the horizon for the Feb. 5 Super Tuesday primary. As Lee Corso would say, “not so fast.”
As of today, McCain will carry New York and California, which is, gulp, saying a lot, and neighboring states like New Jersey, Connecticut, and his home state of Arizona. Romney will try to make his stand in Illinois and carry Colorado, Utah, and Idaho. And Giuliani states, New Mexico, Delaware, and Minnesota will probably abandon the mayor after his expected trouncing in Florida.
With Huck and Romney splitting the conservative vote in those states (oh, yes, there are conservatives in moderate-liberal states, and they are usually more conservative than many in the South,) McCain will probably pick up those too.
But while Huckabee is being written off, perhaps a good thing leading into Super Tuesday, Huckabee is still leading in Georgia, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Alabama and his home state of Arkansas, all Southern states with higher delegate counts to the GOP convention than proportionate population. At this writing he is still ahead of McCain in the big Texas event set for March 4.
The three, McCain, Romney, and Huckabee are virtually tied for Missouri.
So why then is this being portrayed as a McCain-Romney contest? Who decided that Gov. Mike Huckabee is out? Obviously not the voters.
Huckabee may have been partly done in by an unlikely source. “The Fair and Balanced” Fox television network. Remember, you were warned, it is fair and balanced, (wink, wink) but evangelical Christians failed to believe it.
They became lazy, relying on Fox, who does indeed show some cultural diversity in its programming, to sort all of this out for them.
There is good evidence to suggest that Huckabee has been “Miered.”
Now, to explain what it means to become “Miered” you will have to venture back into my archives at Newsmax.com. You know what it means to be “Borked”? That’s when you’re denied something that you should probably get. As in Robert Bork, America’s premier judicial mind being denied his Supreme Court spot because liberals in the Senate decided he was too conservative.
Well, being “Miered” is different. It is when you are accused by conservatives of being liberal even when you aren’t. As when Judicial Committee Chairman, Sam Brownback, Ann Coulter, Bill Bennet, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Paul Weyrich all openly questioned the conservative bona fides of George W. Bush’s nomination to the Supreme Court, Harriet Miers.
Now, Harriet Miers, everyone now knows, is very conservative and always was.
Her problem was that she was an evangelical Christian and her antagonists on television, those who questioned her conservatism, from Brownback to Weyrich, were all so-called movement conservatives. They were all Catholic, wanting another appointment of their own. Can’t fault that. Someone who they knew and saw at the G.K. Chesterton night dinners.
Of course, the evangelicals need the Catholic spokesmen and thinkers and activists. In the past, they enthusiastically supported the nominations of Catholic Supreme Court appointments, Richard Bork, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and John Roberts. And although Bork didn’t make it, they tried hard for him too.
Today, along with Anthony Kennedy, there are now five Catholic justices on the Supreme Court, two Jewish Justices, a woman justice, and two blacks, all commendable. Even the gay community proudly claims one: Justice John Souter, who although not gay, was embraced by many in the community and has consistently supported them on almost every issue. (Souter was a puzzling appointment by George H.W. Bush. I was on staff in the White House at the time and was curious to learn of the immediate support of Ted Kennedy.)
So why not a born again justice? Someone to represent the 42 percent of Americans who according to Gallup claim to be born again Christians? I had had that discussion with George W. Bush a dozen times since 1987, how evangelicals chaffed under an IRS and INS devoid of anyone of their faith and how it led to abuse and how the absence of evangelical federal judges led to nuisance lawsuits that crippled evangelical congregations.
So I was delighted that he remembered and made the Harriet Mier’s nomination.
It was a wrong he was trying to make right. The problem was that the evangelicals were asleep at the switch. They didn’t even see it happening. And the movement conservatives where appalled. What? We don’t know her? Why not Sam Alito? Or someone we know? And so they rushed to their stations at Fox to declare she was not one of them, not a true conservative and her nomination collapsed.
Now, we evangelicals are good sports. And we rallied to good old Catholic, Samuel Alito, and we put him on the Court too, with our phone calls and letters. And most conservative evangelicals would say he sure beats anyone who Obama or Clinton will pick, but couldn’t we have had just one? Just one?
This is what happened when Mike Huckabee appeared on the scene.
Fox had been talking about Catholic Giuliani for two years. Can’t blame em. They all live in New York City. It isn’t often that a politician actually does something you can see and they could all see the end of crime at the hands of the mayor. Impressive. And they held out for Newt Gingrich, teasing us for months, and finally poured on the gas for Fred Thompson. So when Southern Baptist, Gov. Mike Huckabee appeared out of nowhere, well, who was he?
He didn’t quote G. K. Chesterton, he quoted Francis Schaeffer.
Fox may have actually learned something since the Miers episode, at least behind the scenes. It knows that it needs evangelical viewers too, that Catholic conservatives are the intelligentsia, the spokesmen of conservatives, the leaders, but the money and numbers are almost all evangelical.
So this time the attacks were less impulsive than they were for Miers. Nonetheless, Phyllis Schaffly and others challenged Huckabee’s conservative credentials and enough damage was done. Of course, it was pure nonsense.
The problem was that many evangelicals fell asleep at the wheel, trusting Fox to look out for them, failing to do their due diligence, failing to believe that Fox really is fair and balanced and not their conservative watch dog. Many are only now waking up to the fact that Huck was their man all the time and they just didn’t see it.
This past week I received a call from the pastor of a large Florida church who had just met Huck and was blown away and quite surprised. “I had been watching Fox,” he said, “I didn’t realize Huckabee was a true conservative. In the Bush, senior campaign of 1988, we met this same pastor, had our photo with him, and had him promoting us for two years before the Florida primary.
This time he was just coming around, too late to do much.
Evangelicals and movement conservatives need each other. Without evangelicals, Ann Coulter’s books would have never made the best-seller lists, Ed Feulner’s buildings would not have been purchased, and Phyllis Schlafly would have run out of hair spray long ago. But sorting all of this out in advance was critical to a Mike Huckabee’s shot at the White House. And now?
The GOP will likely get John McCain but even so, as Lee Corso would say, squinting into the camera lens and pinching a little bit of air with his thumb and finger, “Yes, yes, it will be McCain, but this one will be closer than they think! Closer than they think!”

Give it a rest. ::)
-
Get over it with Huck, this is becoming a rather strange and crazy obsession you got.
-
Huckabee isn't done. If he has a good enough showing in Florida even though it is a winner take all he is still strong is some polls for Super Tuesday. Missouri, Georgia just to name a couple. If McCain and Romney split some states Huckabee could sneak in and be a player come the Convention. I don't agree with Chaim that Romney is better. Or that we should just snub Huckabee when he is the lesser of the evils left in the race. Hunter endorsed him for G-d Sake.
-
Its funny no one really mentions Hucks history when he was the Gov of Arkansas (more Govs of Arkansas) notice its becoming where this sewage comes from. Huckabee jacked up taxes in the state more then Bill Clinton. And he is dead in the water now the public has seen enough of what a phoney he is. And I warned everyone about him. Huckabee flip flopped over and over again on immigration. He is not consistant.
And as far as Israel goes. They all say a great game when they want your votes and then they shaft when elected. Bush use to say the same thing in 2000 and 04, and in 08 he is trying to pressure Israel into these "piss" agreements with Arab filth.
-
You attack Huckabee and yes he does have down sides. But they pail in comparison to Romney or Rudy. He flip flopped on Abortion, Gay Rights, Health Care (His Health Care program in Mass. was simulary to Hillary's proposal) he hired illegal aliens to do his lawn when he was governor. When asked what he would do about Iran he said that he would call his lawyer. He said that his kids don't have a serve in the military because they are serving the county by helping him run for president. And he has no real position on Israel which is the most important issue this election.
If we get another Bush or Clinton it could mean the end of Israel's post 1967 borders. when I whigh my options Huckabee is the lesser of all the evils still in the race.
-
More of Huckabee being a phoney.. I hope people on the forum aren't that easy to convince.

Huckabee's latest campaign proposal looks an awful like Tancrado's not only that Romney is a cronic flip flopper. Plus the Romney one comes from his site while the Huckabee link you give is from CBS which is part of the liberal media.
-
Huckabee's done for I'm afraid ::)
-
I wouldn't be that quick to judge at this point in the race but we will see.
-
The taxation hike thing master wolf keep banging on about is a lie, it was VOTED BY THE ARKANSAS PEOPLE, for a 400 million pound road, that created 40 000 jobs.
Huckabee arrived at AKANSAS with a minus 250 million defficet and left it with a 850 million defficet...
Masterwolf hates huckabee because i like him and think hes rightous, sicne chaim, the minute men, duncan hunter and tom delay etc endorsed him and CATHLICSONLINE endorsed him then i find it amusing that masterwolf hates him so much, but is so hapy to endorse romney even though he RAN LEFT WING OF TED KENNEDY...
You lot predicted that mccain was finished and YOU WERE WRONG.
You lot including chaim predicted that romney would lose in michigan and was finshed YOU AND CHAIM WERE WRONG....
This race is full of surprises, it wasnt long ago JTF were expecting ruudy to win, so lets be honest JTF'S predictions thus far have been shockong as has mine as this is such a unpredictable race....
I wonder if masterwolf is still backing ruudy :rolleyes:
-
Huckabee has zero chance on defeating the Dems remember that. And you still banking on Huckabee close to an obsession. I may look into Romney. I DO NOT TRUST Huckabee
-
It's still early but:
McCain is at 33.9%
Romney is at 33.4%
Guiliani is at 14.1%
Huckabee is at 13.7%

Get this through your head, after today Huckabee is done. In fact I can settle for a Romney over Huckabee. YOU obviously do not pay attention Huckabee would be a cake walk for the Dems.

Your hate for Huckabee over all the other phoney candidate, with all respect, seems out of line.
The issue is not whether taxes are higher or lower, it's how well you use the money. Huckabee used it well in Arkansas.
On every other issue Huckabee is the most conservative one in the race. He flipped on immigrtion, but Romney flipped on EVERTYING! So why woul d you be so vehemently against Huckabee and not Romney?
-
I think Christians for Jews might have a point. McCain and Romney might be splitting the liberal Republican vote which means Huckabee could sneak in if his popularity continues to grow as it has.
-
After today, Huckabee better do the ultimate comeback for Super Tuesday other wise it over for him for sure. And Romney can give McPain a run for his money and if anyone that needs to be defeated is MCPAIN. I just don't see Huckabee doing that.

great post
Master wolf does not realise that chaim stopped endorsing huckabee because he thought he was finshed, not because he thought romney was a better candidate...
if you read the where we go now thread" chaim says "its was close but unFORTUNATELY HUCKABEE LOST"
Chaim says huckabee had the best chance to beat the clintons as he did it in arkansas, romney ran left of ted kennedy....
Your hate for huckabee is because i like him, thats all there is to it....
Im still awaiting for your pro abortion man ruudy comment, will you vote for him yes or no???
-

what do you not understand about this concept mate, huckabee has campaigned more in the super tuesday states than florida, and has barely spent a dolla in florida, the fact hes in close 4th behind ruudy who HAS SPENT MILLIONS HERE, is nothong short of brilliant....
Im still waiting as to whether you will vote for your man ruudy....
-
ROMNEY 34.1%
MCCAIN 33.5%
GIULIANI 14.4%
HUCKABEE 13.0%
That is what you got in Florida so far...
Huckabee needs a life jacket at this point...
http://www.drudgereport.com/
We need to defeat MCCAIN, If anyone can do it is Mitt. Huckabee is floundering.

roflflf at you saying huck flounderig when he didnt even campaign in florida....
Im awaiting your comment to the fact that ruudy has based his whole life on this state and is only 1 percent ahead of huckabee...
-
Then Huckabee is going to be a lazy candidate if he isn't going to show up on these key states so thats rather silly
-
Then Huckabee is going to be a lazy candidate if he isn't going to show up on these key states so thats rather silly
but its only 57 delegates, there are 140 in texas alone, granted its not winner takes all, but its more than florida....
what i pray for is ruudy to endorse huckabee, that would be class...
-
ONLY? All these delegates are vital. Rudy is also dead in the water. I am looking into Romney cause he can give McCain a run for his money and thats who I do want to defeat. And after the numbers I am seeing Romney is shaking up McPain.
-
Isn't Florida choc-a-bloc with turd worlders? Nobody would expect Huck' to do any good there.

Florida has a huge oldie and huge Cuban vote they of course would flock to McCain.
-
Huckabee needs a big Night on Super Tuesday I am going to hold my breath. But Romney is my second choice. But anyone but McCain
On Senator McCain:
Back in 2006, Sen. McCain reportedly made the comment that as president he would “micromanage” a more even-handed Mideast policy than that of President Bush, and even suggested he would utilize the services of Brent Scowcroft or James Baker – neither perceived as particularly friendly to Israel – to personally oversee an aggressive push for a comprehensive accord.
-
Though Mike Huckabee is my preferred choice of the candidates remaining in the Presidential Race, I'm planning on voting for Mitt Romney next week. IMO, Romney is realistically the only remaining Republican candidate who can beat John McCain.
Mitt Romney has one thing going for him that Huckabee doesn't ----- the funds to get his message to the masses. The loss in South Carolina was extremely damaging to Huckabee. I'm very concerned that Huckabee is going to take votes away from Romney. This is even more pronounced with Rudy G. dropping out of the race. Chances are most of Rudy G's supporters with vote for McCain in the remaining primaries. Romney's margin of error is small. The best case realistic scenario involving Huckabee is he's chosen as the Vice Presidential Nominee.

a vote for romney is comletely wasted imo...
What the hell is he going to do in the bible belt....????
I feel jtf should hulk up, and go all in for huckabee, huckabee spent hardly any money in florida for a reason, that reason was to use it all on tv ads in the super tuesday, one good debate tommoro and hes backin the fray, romney is weakened from this, hes just not likable, just admit it....
-
Huckabee will not win. He should endorse Romney to help prevent McCain from being nominated.
-
Huckabee hurts if anything. He helps McCain get off your love affair with Huckabee. You really don't understand politics do you C4J. Those 13% wasted votes that went to Huckabee could of atleast narrowed if not helped Romney over McCain.

huckabee won tonights debate....
hes still in this
CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider: "Huckabee, I think, stood out in this debate as the one who made sense, talked as ordinary people do, and rose above politics.
I think the one who really helped himself was Huckabee.
All in all: Huckabee gained ground, McCain probably lost ground, and Romney didn’t help or hurt himself – although he did effectively defend himself. McCain sounded petty – and that’s not the McCain voters know and like.
But to the extent that Huckabee may have made any gains from his performance, Romney’s got bigger worries out of tonight than the Arizona senator."
-
Um sure he did oh brother...
-
What Huckabee does is something YOU DO NOT seem to understand he takes precious votes away from a candidate that can defeate McCain. It is like having a 3rd party candidate at this point he is not going to get the nomination neither he or Ron Paul with his only 500 votes in Florida at this point. The conservative movement that is trying to cling on to Huckabee for him staying in the race those votes can be potential votes for a front runner that can edge over McCain. Wasted votes are hurtful votes learn how the voting system works, learn how elections and politics work. Thats why this movement also shifted to Romney not cause anyone likes him cause he can defeat the worst idea possible. And anything coming out of Clinton Network News just take it it at slim margin value.
-
we'll see who is nominated, soon...
-
Give it up Huckabee, it's over and you are just taking votes away from Romney.
-
Give it up Huckabee, it's over and you are just taking votes away from Romney.
honestly, there have been less than 10 elections, the bulk of them come on tuesday, Huckabbee could still easily win

You are describing Romney. Romney sticks he is garbage and you want him more then Huckabee. Huckabee has real conservative values that have been with him for as long as he has been in public office. Eliezer Ben Avraham is right Huckabee should take the south and be completive in other state it's still wide open and I'd hate to see Romney with the nomination but Romney I'd have to hold my nose if I were to vote for him in November. Huckabee not so much.
-

And go play the lottery for $1 and you're going to win 10 million dollars, because you would have a better chance of hitting that then Huckabee winning anything, he's finished and by now probably made a deal with McCain to be in McCain's administration.

You got that right JB. Romney is the only hope and thats only a long shot as we speak. G-d willing people will pull the right lever in the voting booth Tuesday and save America from complete destruction.
-
Huckabee ain't done I just voted for him with my vote by mail ballot. I couldn't vote for Romney unless he was the only Republican
-

That was a wasted vote, by voting for Huckabee you just voted for McCain.
I guess you're a true liberal.
-
No I support Israel and Huckabee supports Israel should I vote for Romney who is evil. He was to the left of Kennedy he supports Amnesty he was Pro Choice as early as 2002 and his health care was similar to what Hillary wants. Romney is pure evil and Huckabee still has a chance Huckabee will take the south on Tuesday and should have a good showing in the heartland it's still wide open how dumb of a statement was that one.
-
I have voted for Romney to, :)
But i still like huckabee, he is less evil the Mcpain or Clinton/obama. O0

Huckabee ain't done I just voted for him with my vote by mail ballot. I couldn't vote for Romney unless he was the only Republican
That was a wasted vote, by voting for Huckabee you just voted for McCain.
I guess you're a true liberal.
JB you are correct at this point, Huckabee does split the votes he has no chance
-
No I support Israel and Huckabee supports Israel should I vote for Romney who is evil. He was to the left of Kennedy he supports Amnesty he was Pro Choice as early as 2002 and his health care was similar to what Hillary wants. Romney is pure evil and Huckabee still has a chance Huckabee will take the south on Tuesday and should have a good showing in the heartland it's still wide open how dumb of a statement was that one.
People like you just don't get it, it's either McCain or Romney, forget about the prefect candidate that's over.
You and all the other simple minded people still voting for Huckabee are unbelievable.
I guess McCain is for Israel and a true conservative, I must have missed something.

Huckabee is a great disappointment to me. I never really thought this guy had what it took to close the deal. I tried to look favorably on him because Chaim seemed to think he was the right guy for the job and honestly on issues he was no worse than any of the others. After he lost out in South Carolina I thought he would bow out and give Romney a chance to blow liberal McCain out the door. Sadly however its seems this small minded hick decided he wanted to stick around and make side deals with the devil (McCain). If Huckabee could partner up with a Liberal animal like McCain it doesn't say much for his conservative principals. Romney although not the greatest would be far better then McCain. At this point if Romney looses tomorrow I hope he goes third party in November and pulls off a Joe Lieberman or looses and clears the way for an Obama or Hillery win. Huckabee the filthy squirrel eating hick is really a disgrace to the Republican Conservative movement. I would rather see a upfront liberal in the White House and not have a phony Conservative which is just what McCain and Huckabee are.

What is it with you. You all let the news media and talk radio tell you who to support. McCain does not have a lock on the nomination and Romney is not the only one who can stop him.
-
McCain has locked it. I have come to terms with it. Huckabee now is competing with him equally. In a one to one runoff, Huckabee or Romney could beat McCain. But the lead is simpy too big. Romney and Huckabee screwed each other.
-
Romney and Huckabee screwed each other.
:o :o :o :o :-X :-[ ??? 8;) 8;)
No that liberal animal Huckabee screwed Romney, Huckabee knew he had no chance, If it wasn't for Huckabee Romney would have had a good chance of getting the nomination.

Exactly! And Romney would have been far better than McCain could ever be. The squirrel eater overplayed his hand thinking he would force McCain to dealing him in as VP. As a right wing Conservative I will vote as necessary to protect my interests the best I can however all the listed animals pose no attraction to me whatsoever. They are all candidates of the last resort. The least of the evils!

McCain really does just about have it won. he has a substantial lead

Huckabee is just wasting everyones time and if we want McCain to beat that monkey, Huckabee should just step aside and let McCain start planning for the general election.

There's no reason Huckabee should drop out at this point. McCain will have plenty of time to prepare.
At least let's not let this scumbag have such an easy cake-walk to the nomination, he doesn't deserve it.
-
Agreed
-
If Mike Huckabee wins Virginia, Maryland, or D.C., I'll support his efforts in continuing in the race. However, if he loses all 3, especially by a wide margin, then it's time for the Republican party to unify quickly. John McCain is far from the ideal candidate but the alternates on the far left- Hillary and Obama- have to be defeated.

This is Sinas Chinam. You hate this guy for no reason. He's a well meaning Baptist preacher. He's a good guy. Lay off of him.

What has that got to do with what we are talking about?
We can be against Obama and for Huckabee at the same time. What's the big problem over here?
