I was stunned by Romney’s withdrawal from the race. Pleasantly surprised but stunned nonetheless.
But rather than Huckabee’s chances improving, it seems that the pundits and media are ready to declare McCain the winner. Romney didn’t want to prolong the primary stage of the campaign, and it is feared that Huckabee would just be [...]
No. It’s not because Romney’s Mormon and Huckabee’s Baptist. I contend Huckabee’s evangelical support goes deeper than that. The roots of his support are grounded in concepts the political punditry and main-stream media can’t seem to comprehend.
Evangelicals are a multi-faceted bunch. We are controlled by a Scriptural, and highly moral ethic. [...]

Huckabee’s Night
Mike Huckabee surprised a lot of people, including me. The polls showed him declining in the south, with either McCain or Romney taking those states from him. Instead he won Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, and also West Virginia (full results here). He came within a few thousand votes of taking Missouri, [...]
Congratulations to Huckabee! He won Iowa by 9 points, 34% to 25% over Romney (with 95% reporting).
You will want to listen to his victory speech. It’s good, and only about 5 minutes long.
Plus this is a good bonus 5 minute interview clip from FoxNews.
Way to go, Huckabee! May the momentum continue.
Before I [...]
I hope this video clip of Iowa voters who recently switched their support (largely to Huckabee) paints a true picture of what we can expect today. I sure hope Iowa places a deciding vote in Huckabee’s favor today! Go Huckabee!

Mike Huckabee has an outside chance of winning the Republican nomination. It all starts today with the Iowa Caucus. Perhaps his biggest negative is a common assumption that he can’t win it all. He’s too conservative and too Baptist.
In a brilliant move, Huckabee landed an appearance on the Tonight show with Jay [...]

Okay, I have to vent here about Romney. From the get go, he’s struck me as smooth, fast-talking and the quintessential politician. He says what we want to hear, and he says different things to please different groups of people. I’m sure there is more to him than this, and I’d probably [...]

Does anyone remember all the buzz that surrounded 2004 Democratic candidate for president Howard Dean? His support came mostly from blogs and the internet, and at that time blogs were quite new. His campaign fizzled and he never did win the nomination, but he helped redefine politics as we know it. The [...]

Update: For a post which lays out the reasons why Huckabee is a genuine conservative and can appeal to all 3 conservative factions, check out this post from Evangelical Outpost (Joe Carter, with Matt Anderson and Justin Taylor).
Momentum is Mike Huckabee’s friend right about now. He’s been riding it for quite some time.
Huckabee scored [...]
