    I would follow Mike Huckbee any where. I am a single 34 year old mother with cancer. Hearing Mike talk makes beleive in life and changes can happen. He is a real person who understands americans needs and is willing to make the changes for all the americans, not just the rich. Thank you to Mike for giving me my hope back.

    He's someone who's original, and when he speaks, he's inspiring in his own way, not trying to copy some former president. That's the best thing about him. Just be himself, true and original, and creative. Just keep going like this. In the end, it'll probably be him and Obama, and he's the only one who can bring down Obama's hot slogans who stir up young people easily. If Obama wins, the whole muslim world will laugh.

    It's really funny that you media types just don't get Huckabee. The things you think are eccentric and the very things that make people want to vote for him. People are just plain fed up with gridlock and old-time politics. Every one of Huckabee's so-called blunders has reaped millions in free media exposure that has increased his lead. The man is a genius at working the media. Here's what's going to happen. Huckabee will easily win Iowa. McCain will win New Hampshire and knock Romney out of the race. Thompson and Giuliani are history. Huckabee will romp to the nomination, make McCain his VP and trounce Obama in the general. You heard it here first.

      That would be my hope. But I'm really worried about all those liberals who just hate Christians, let alone a used-to-be minister. Now I wish Huckabee has not been a minister before. That'll probably surely make him win in the end. But I do doubt if his fair tax plan would become reality. It's nice but I'm not sure how realistic it is. It probably won't become true. It's just impossible to get rid of IRS and still have money for gv.

    Huck is just plain fantastic, personable, intelligent and principled. I've noticed that the Ron Paul people are noticeably silent all over the web. I'm with you, truth-teller

    Huck is just plain creepy.

    I'm all the way for Huckabee. What a change it will be from the two clowns in the White House.

    Hey, I love Huckabee! I think his odd behavior makes him just another guy. I surely don't want another Clinton in the big house! I Like Mike!!!!!!

    In my humble opinion, I think Huckabee has decided that being aloof and playing a musical instrument worked for the "other" former Arkansas governor in becoming elected President, so why not give it a try. I personally don't like the style. While I would like a "regular guy" to be the leader of the free world, instead of a career rehashed politician looking for power and ego, I simply can't buy into "the act". Pardon me, but why in the world would America want another former Arkansas governor to be President? It is not exactly like Clinton and Huckabee led their state into "world class" realms.

    Anyone who uses Ric Flair as a campaign prop is clearly not Presidential material. Flair is a has-been whose only claim to fame is beating others in a "mock" sport. Flair's "persona" over the years has been that of a man with loose morals, a fast-living ladies man who regularly broke the rules to win his matches. Flair even admitted to have been involved in an affair with a rival's wife... and then went on to join another wrestler to intentionally inflict damage on that rival's knee!

    Flair has been described as "the dirtiest player in the game" for good cause. Flair even once claimed to be The President of the United States...

    About right for someone on stage with The Huckster!

    Christian ???LEADER????

    ???Ladies and gentlemen of the press, I have called you here today to announce that I am tired of my opponent attacking my record. I have spent weeks attacking his character, but that was not enough.

    Although I have spent $30,000 to make an attack ad, I want you to know that I am too nice to really use it.

    However, I know you will ask me to see it and if I say ???NO??? you will laugh and not really believe I have it, so just this once I will show it to you.

    By the way, if the other candidates don???t follow my leadership, I will resume my attack ads after Iowa. Thank you for the free press.???
