Note that Huckabee didn't get invited to McCain's memorial day bash after he made the stupid gun joke about Obama!!.....

Also note that Huckabee blamed the evangelical leaders for his primary loss.. this after Dobson endorsed him!!

Implying of course, that more Democrats will be voting..... &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;and I beg to differ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not too mention that they have anywhere from a 60% - 80% poll refusal rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, who's responding to polls?  Answer: &lt;em&gt;Not&lt;/em&gt; voters who are flipping to McCain!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Because of the enthusiasm  for Palin,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;more Republicans will be voting,&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; and&lt;/span&gt;, the early votes in California bear that out, &lt;/span&gt;for example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2a) The pollsters are weighting undecideds heavily in the polls as well.  And those are now trending towards McCain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) I lived on the Left Coast for a decade, and the friends I know that would be registered Democrat or Independent, and the type that voted for Kerry, would &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;NEVER&lt;/span&gt;... &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;EVER... &lt;/span&gt;vote for a socialist Obama!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On more occasions than I can count, here in the HotAir comments, we've seen people reporting that friends and family members who have voted straight Democrat ticket &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;for years&lt;/span&gt;...., &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;will be voting McCain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why don't you try it at  &lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/calculator/"&gt;CNN&lt;/a&gt;   and see what predictions &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt; come up with?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh... I forgot...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because even the people who believe that Obama will win (but are voting for McCain) will be voting the GOP back into a lead in the House &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt;.. into the Senate!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...

You simply cannot equate this election with 2000, when we didn't realize the effect of exit polling on the later closing time polls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;only that&lt;/span&gt;......  There&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; never...&lt;/span&gt; was the passion for GW as there is now for Palin!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bush legacy wasn't all that popular in 2000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Palin "populist comet stream" is a WHOLE lot bigger!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great comment by HotAir commenter: &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2008/11/03/mccain-were-going-to-win-this-election/comment-page-2/#comment-1593419"&gt;Sign of the Dollar &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(from 2nd paragraph):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Quote:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The majority of the American people are not comfortable with Obama’s clearly radical, anti-individual, anti-capitalist political views. However, the media and his campaign have successfully created an environment in which it is risky for a person to admit their opposition to his views in public. His supporters (whom I believe to be a very vocal minority) can be rather intimidating, following their dear leader’s commands to “get in their faces”. Fortunately, nobody can follow you into the poling booth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;End quote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;That is so true.  Very true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;must say&lt;/span&gt; to people who ask who you voted for:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;“It’s a private voting booth and I hold on dearly to my 1st amendment right of freedom of expression as well as the right to privacy.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;p&gt;And then&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;smile at them&lt;/span&gt; longingly.... and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;promptly, walk away&lt;/span&gt;!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Update:&lt;/p&gt;Finally a number on the Hillary voters.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is how many &lt;a href="http://www.marstonchronicles.info/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;task=view&amp;amp;id=95&amp;amp;Itemid=119"&gt;PUMA's are needed&lt;/a&gt; for a McCain win:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Quote:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Even more important is how few PUMA voters in these eleven states are required for a McCain-Palin landslide. If you add up the PUMA's needed column in the second table, you will see that only an extra 507,231 more PUMA's are needed to sweep the table. That is a mere 873,520 PUMA's&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; spread across eleven states&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; are needed to produce a McCain-Palin landslide. Do you really want to tell me that there are not that many Hillary supporters who cannot vote for Obama-Biden in these eleven states out of 18,000,000 of them? Now who is drinking the Kool-Aid?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;   &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;End quote&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

His only &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ulterior&lt;/span&gt; motive, if you will, is to do what is best for the country.&lt;br /&gt;And if he hasn't figured it all out yet what is good for the country, he will, as time goes by and he is presented with the challenges ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Browsing through his website &lt;a href="http://www.mittromney.com/"&gt;www.mittromney.com&lt;/a&gt;, one can see fairly quickly that his entire effort is the most thought out, comprehensive and wonkish of them all.&lt;br /&gt;This by the way, is intimidating to the establishment officials who resist change, as well as to ignoramuses at large.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This quality/ability to rise to a challenge is also what appears to many as flipping and flopping, when actually it's just true evolution towards improvement, visa vi what's good for the people he's serving at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mitt Romney is a perfect candidate for those of us who believe in having a voice-in-the-Republic, because he truly does want to listen to all well thought out arguments.&lt;br /&gt;The: 'Ask Mitt Anything' campaign was not a farce or a joke, it was and is real.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HotAir commentator EJDolbow on February 5, 2008 at &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2008/02/04/quote-of-the-day-199/comment-page-1/#comment-932677"&gt;12:18 AM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;has an interesting take on Mitt's electability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Update:  11:35 A.M.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So much for experts.

You want men with confidence, but when you do find them, you don't like'em because you think they are arrogant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you are left with &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=512410&amp;amp;in_page_id=1770&amp;amp;ito=1490"&gt;hugging pillows that look and feel like a boyfriend&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You women are funny!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing, thanks for the entertainment girls.

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Governor Huckabee enjoyed a meteoric rise in the polls in December 2007, which prompted a more thorough review of his ethics record."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://judicialwatch.org/judicial-watch-announces-list-washington-s-ten-most-wanted-corrupt-politicians-2007"&gt;According to The Associated Press&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“[Huckabee’s] career has also been colored by 14 ethics complaints and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governor’s office.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what was Governor Huckabee’s response to these ethics allegations?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Rather than cooperating with investigators, Huckabee sued the state ethics commission twice and attempted to shut the ethics process down.&lt;br

founded on, including the sanctity of life, etc. etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure, I've heard about him before.  But it usually came with a bit of scorn or &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;some kind of negativity tagge&lt;/span&gt;d on to it, so I didn't pay much attention to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I'm really pissed that he has had so much scorn poured onto him, for whatever reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But James Dobson is older, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;much older than me&lt;/span&gt;, and has by all accounts been paying more close attention to politics, for much longer than me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I just don't understand why Dobson wouldn't support Keyes instead of Huckabee!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seriously boggles my mind!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anybody have an answer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;"  &gt;Update: 01-31-2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all it's the principle that matters here and not whether we think he can win against Hillary, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;right?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was Dr. Dobson's argument for Huckabee when he was an unknown, i.e., if everybody voted with their conscience, then, he &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;could&lt;/span&gt; win!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Transalation: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Poor us&lt;/span&gt;, but nobody will, so therefore we are screwed!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alan Keyes has a direct tie to Ronald Reagan (see &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.alankeyes.com"&gt;www.alankeyes.com)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Gipper spoke very highly of him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not Alan Keyes, Dr. Dobson?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to this &lt;a href="http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&amp;amp;ned=us&amp;amp;tab=nb&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;q=james%20dobson%20alan%20keyes"&gt;search result&lt;/a&gt; he did consider it at some point:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;"James Dobson&lt;/b&gt;, whose Focus on the Family reaches millions of followers through radio and newsletter subscriptions, is expected to reveal his choice this week. &lt;b&gt;Alan Keyes&lt;/b&gt; for President!

"who are you going to vote for?"&lt;br /&gt;I mean... you're voicing your vote out loud in a public arena, with your peers, with whom you want respect, and, you don't want to look stupid or out of bounds with the particular group that you're with at time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Couple that with the fact, that Huckabee at that time, had not been scrutinized to a large extend, because just a short time before he was an mostly an unknown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To everybody - except for those with an emotional connection to Huckabee, visa vi his Baptist preacher roots - he showed himself to be simply performing and walloping one liners that appealed to his supporters, such as... "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the next thing you're going to see is the gates of hell opening up for you".....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I mean that one liner and many others by Huckabee were so transparent I almost threw up my popcorn!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I mean if you were paying attention to Huckabee's hesitations and gaps in his train of thought at the last debate, you could see &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;he was making them up on the spot,&lt;/span&gt; for crying out loud!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Like Rush Limbaugh said: "whatever happened to using the Golden Rule as the guideline for how we treat our enemies?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I'm sure that those 9-11 tweenagers, who are now of voting age and have come out to support Mike Huckabee don't have even the slightest clue what the following statement means:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mike Huckabee is the fusion reincarnation of Jimmy Baker and William "slick" Jefferson Clinton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Watch for their responses below to confirm their ignorance of these matters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-McGuyver&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;
