His advisers call it "the SEC strategy."
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is plotting a route to the Republican presidential nomination that could easily be mistaken for the sports bracket of a Southeastern Conference super fan.
As he seeks to avoid a repeat of the spectacular flameout of his 2008 run, Huckabee is pinning his hopes on the 11 contiguous states that run from Florida to Missouri and Texas to South Carolina. His advisers and allies call it “the SEC strategy,” for the college sports conference that tracks the same map....

I was hoping he wouldn’t run this time. He’s going to split the Evangelical Christian vote with Cruz. I’m really pulling for Cruz.

Doesn't matter to me. I'll be pulling for and sending money to Cruz.

Huckabee won TN last time he ran..
But hopefully we’ll go for Cruz in 2016..

Cruz supposedly has hired this political strategist who’s supposed to be the 2nd coming of Lee Atwater. The guy makes the Clinton War Room look like Romper Room.

My thoughts exactly. He is a good man but should stay out —the Arkansas equivalent of the New Jersey doughboy

Huckabee is done. After saying a man has a choice about being a woman or not, I think he can kiss even his base goodbye. Nobody else is even close to supporting him, and he just put a bullet into what little support he had, I think.

I was hoping he wouldn’t run this time. Look, Huckabee has books to sell and TV deals to line up. Please don't confuse the issue with what's actually best for the country.

Huckabee, IMHO, as Arkansas governor, was and is and accessory to murder...twice.
I wouldn’t give that jerk the time of day.

Here is a hint:
Nobody who has run before and lost is going to win this time.
And believe me, Jeb counts as “run before”....
It will be Walker, Cruz, or Rubio.
I want Ted.

the Clinton War Room may look like Romper Room, but it still will have something like $2,500,000,000,69 to play with

I think Huckabee has aliented a good part of his base...
with his ‘liberal’ sex-change comments
and you can bet those lost votes WON’T be made up by
mix-up guys cutting their sausages off
