Well what else is there to say. Mike Huckabee as of last week did not get the Presidential nomination for the GOP in 2008. I was extremely disappointed to say the least. I felt from all my research since July's New Man Christian magazine article, that Mike Huckabee was the next Ronald Reagan or Abraham Lincoln. I thought he was what America needed in our time of trial. I believe he fought a valiant fight, and ran the race marked out for him. The former diabetic and obese man is an avid marathon runner, so it did not surprise me that he stayed in the race until he crossed the finish line. The bell sounded and he was not on top. In politics anything is possible and November is a long time away; so I'll keep some hope alive, but realize that Mike Huckabee is a young man in political years and his time will come.
Isn't it inspiring to know that a man whose parents were uneducated country folks from Arkansas can raise a boy who will go on to lead his state as governor and then mount the most effective, efficient, grassroots campaign in the history of politics. I've put this statement out there without any real research, but I'm betting that no one can disprove it- all things considered. Mike Huckabee had a hope and a prayer and he finished in second place for the GOP nomination in 2008. He won Iowa when nobody gave him a chance. He almost won South Carolina and the media blacked him out for Florida and Super Tuesday. He managed to win Tennessee, West Virginia, Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas that day. He nearly won Oklahoma, Missouri as well. They were surprised at the campaigns resiliency. Operating on very low fundraising dollars- less than even Dr. Ron Paul; getting outspent nearly 15-1 in some markets, Mike Huckabee forged ahead. Next he would win Louisiana and Kansas in a landslide. Middle America and the South knew who their man was no matter what Washington or Fox News said.
In the end Mike Huckabee fought the good fight all the way until the end. Even though he trailed in polls by 25 points he shocked the media again with a near miss in Virginia. Can you imagine a no name candidate, blocked by his own party; and ignored by the media still managing to get over 30% of the vote in Ohio and Texas at the end of the campaign road. I'm honored to have been a supporter with my money, my emails, my calls, my buttons and my prayers. I believe I supported an honorable man, and I believe his time will still come.
Who has ever done more with less?
