Comments on: Huckabee being shut down by the Press. http://www.logipundit.com/2008/02/huckabee-being-shut-down-by-the-press.html A Bastion of Reason Sat, 06 Sep 2008 00:31:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Rip http://www.logipundit.com/2008/02/huckabee-being-shut-down-by-the-press.html#comment-4445 Rip Sun, 10 Feb 2008 02:52:22 +0000 http://www.logipundit.com/2008/02/huckabee-being-shut-down-by-the-press.html#comment-4445 I am glad to see that Huckabee is staying in the race. Competition does keep things interesting. I'm going to predict that we may see a third party candidate of the social conservative ilk if McCain is the nominee. Any thoughts on how choosing McCain reflects on Bush? Or, on what it means for the future of the Republican Party? Or, for the general electorate? Could the country be moving to the left? That was not an easy thing to say, I think I'm going to need something to drink now. I am glad to see that Huckabee is staying in the race. Competition does keep things interesting.

But he has won 6 states (all Red States)..and John Edwards won zero. Edwards and Huckabee do have one thing in common: They acknowledge the existence of poor people. Edwards believes that the Federal Government is the solution, and Huckabee believes they are the problem. Huckabee is undeniably more conservative than McCain--on almost all counts...and his staying in will do nothing but good for the party. The same would have been true if Huckabee would have gotten out and Romney would have stayed in. It is imperative that McCain is not allowed to "move to the center"...

Huckabee is undeniably more conservative than McCain–on almost all counts…and his staying in will do nothing but good for the party. The same would have been true if Huckabee would have gotten out and Romney would have stayed in.

It is imperative that McCain is not allowed to “move to the center”…

Let's not forget that a media flurry a few months ago put Huckabee on the map. If he had not lost key states such as SC and Florida, I am sure the media would have been more generous.
