The New York Times count has only allocated 34 of Wisconsin’s delegates, but assume all 37 pledged delegates go to McCain. According to the numbers above, that would leave him needing 358 of 524 remaining bound delegates (just over 68%) to guarantee nomination on the convention’s first ballot. What concerns me is that liberal journalists and members of the Republican establishment seem to be succeeding in brainwashing Republican voters. Scott “McCain” Rasmu-spin’s daily tracking poll showed McCain’s lead narrowing from 31 points (55%-24%) to 12 points (45%-33%) from February 9-13. As of Friday it was back to 53%-29%:
Governor Huckabee is showing remarkable staying power considering the way the media is presenting—or rather not presenting—the race.
Duncan Hunter has been our choice from Day 1.........so sorry he's out........:(
I am still confused about this but based upon what Ive read you are correct. Anyone can be drafted it seems. Fine mess we find ourselves in this year.
The wimp arsed GOP will be screwed for the next 8 years. And they have only themselves to blame.
I hate to be a party pooper, but this is simply asking for the law of unintended consequences. Huckabee is a fool, and we’re not going to miraculously get one of our “real conservatives” through some trick-of-the-light fantasy.
Huckabee isn’t doing anyone, any favors, except himself.

How about a McCain/Hunter ticket!?!?!
This is now.....
A ticket that would get 100% of my support : registration; door to door; telephone bank; get out the vote....and the use of the greatest weapon I have....prayer!!!
America needs these two Americans to lead us out of the international, economic, and domestic insanity traps traitors within Congress who have violated their oaths of office have purposely created for the future of this wonderful country and the protection of our God inspired Constitution!!!
Huckabee?
Well, they keep telling us to back McCain - that it could be worse.
I guess they are right.
You know.
If Huckabee held a press conference this weekend, and stated for all to hear, that Duncan Hunter would be his running mate.
That just might change things...
In fact, it would change this poster’s mind immediately.
Duncan Hunter should be the Republican nominee!

Help from Jesus is the key:
“The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: that God governs the affairs of man [Romans 8:28]. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice [Matthew 10:29], is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it [Psalms 127:1]. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel [Genesis 11:1-9].”
—Benjamin Franklin, arguing the need for prayer at the Constitutional Convention
Looks like a derivitive of Farakan’s Math Made Simple to me.
I got to know more than a few girl-friends over a month or so and thought I knew them too. Boy was I wrong.
Nobody has more to feel good about than the Huckabee supporters, he isn’t going to win but you should enjoy every minute of his extraordinary race.
Huckster has till March 10th to make a decision about running for the Senate. If he doesn’t pull out of this thing by then I believe he is in it for the long haul.
Hey, if it goes to convention maybe Duncan Hunter will get drafted.
” I got to know more than a few girl-friends over a month or so and thought I knew them too. Boy was I wrong.”
Duncan Hunter has a very public biography, it could be that he is better at judging a fellow republican office holder of 14 years, and an opponent for the presidency and perhaps even men in general.
Is it April the First already?
Fair enough Ansel, but Huckabee’s record is out there and I’m not seeing anything I can support there. I know a number of you do, and I encourage you to do so if that’s your take on it.
