This video of Governor Huckabee's concession speech is about fifteen minutes long.
His wife cries, and he almost does too.

Let’s try that nobody wants to fight to get more proportional delegates of Alaska or North Dakota.

May I point out that many of us, perhaps most of us, saw Huckabee as a nanny-statist, illegal-loving stooge? If he hadn't gotten traction with the so-called 'values voters' whose main criterion for the Presidency is having a plastic fish on the back of one's car, Fred Thompson might have had a fighting chance to win the nomination away from Juan McInsane.
Good riddance to the Huckster, may he spend the rest of his life in deserved obscurity.
Fabulous post. So true. I will never comprehend they Huckabus getting more than a handful of votes.

What do we “hope to accomplish”? DU disruptors? How about just a bunch of people who are glad to see him finally forced from the stage. When I think of his run, the word “selfish” comes to mind.
To: littlehouse36
My thoughts exactly-—that interminable speech suimmed up, even without its content, exactly what was wrong with Huckabee: it was more like a concession speech for the Presidency , delivered after months-longer effort , ending in exhaukstion for himself and his supporters. Instead it was a self-memorializing indulgence worthy of a Bill Clinton. Is there something abour being Gov of Arkansas that brings about stuff like that?

Its pretty clear, isnt it. Yes, it is, I believe that Scripture makes everything clear.
I think that with the mutual defence treaties between the US and Israel, Russia and Iran, Russia and Syria, the time will come, shortly I think, when many will wish there was a man in the oval office that understood prophecy.

RCP
McCain 1260
Romney 272
Huck 270
It all depends on who you ask. RCP is better than CNN. When Romney was ahead in the delegate count from Wyoming to Florida for over a month CNN was fudging the numbers and not mentioning that he was the frontrunner.

LOL. He still couldn't get more delegates than Mr. Romney. Mr. Huckabee’s political career is over.

McCain 1114 (996)
Huckabee 247 (224)
Romney 181 (124)

A source with no axe to grind other than accuracy.
I hope we can keep the pledged number below 1191 for McCain. That way, if he blows up, someone else might get the nod in a brokered convention.

To: unspun; LibertyRocks
Libertyrocks, I take the fact that unspun has to try to beg people to censor me as a compliment. Much like the left knows they can't compete with conservative ideas so they resort to the "fairness doctrine". Unspun proves that he knows what I know...he can't possibly compete in a battle of wits and intellect with me, that's why he begs the powers that be to "level the playing field".

To: LordBridey
Really? In Arkansas, we could vote either as a Democrat or a Republican, no matter how we were registered.
There were Dems who voted for the Huckster because they thought Hillary or Obama would beat the hell out of him in the general election.
And if Huckabee is so popular here in Arkansas, why isn't he running for Senator? Because he knows he'd lose, that's why.
