The Huck-Wagon now leads in...
DISCLOSURE: I have not endorsed a candidate for the GOP Primary
Since my post went up on the surge that Huck is getting in not one but in ALL of the eight initial polling states... I'm getting LOT's-O-E-mail like this:
Kevin
Hucks' leading in Georgia too.
You're an untrustworthy but astute political observer, so I probably
don't even need to point this stuff out to you, but since you're
hanging on to Mitt I will. Look at Mitt's head-to-head polls against
the Dems. He gets killed. Hugh will never point this out, but Mitt
Romney has spent 60 million plus and he can't beat anybody nationally.
He's not even leading his own state in the primary.
The more the voters see of Huck, the higher his numbers go. I was a
Mitt supporter until I saw Huckabee back in August. I realized then
that he was the one GOP candidate who has a prayer of crossing over
and picking off indy voters. Regardless of what Mitt's positions are
this week, his manufactured personality and his born-on-third-base
life story is not going to bring Indy's to the polls next year.
I don't agree with Huck on everything, but I really want a pro-life
president who can sell pro-life judges to the Senate. That's why I
like Mike.
Cameron
From my untrustworthy position... I have to say in all honesty that the more that liberals will try to pile on Huckabee, the more voters like Cameron are going to have their position cemented. It may be the fact that Hugh and others who say, "I could vote for RUDY or MITT" is scaring the wits out of those who would more likely STRONGLY support MITT or HUCK.
ANYONE BUT RUDY - should be the purpose of the primary. Evangelicals are going to be MOST inclined to be supportive of one of their own. They ARE NOT BIGOTS for doing so... And yammering on about how "one shouldn't allow theology to be part of the determination for choosing who they will vote for" is not merely ineffective - but COUNTERPRODUCTIVE.
What evidently neither Dennis nor Hugh understand is that EVANGELICALS - real, true, born-again Christians do nearly EVERYTHING from a Theological frame of reference. THUSLY - they call out Hillary and Obama as being Christian FAKES for not living out what they claim to be is Christian faith and practice.
Where Mitt's people made the mistake was allowing him to emphasize his own issues with specified faith as opposed to how he got out of the chute with like VALUES of people of faith.
The partisan campaign nannies need to stop lecturing Evangelicals and begin asking themselves the question, "why did they leave us to begin with?"
THAT would be a productive response... as opposed to the red-faced, spittle laced, labeling of anyone who dare think for themselves as "not worthy to be trusted."
