Huck to concede tomorrow?

Posted: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 8:37 PM by Mark Murray

From NBC/NJ's Matthew E. Berger
A Huckabee senior aide tells NBC/National Journal that Huckabee tonight will congratulate McCain and will be in touch with the McCain campaign tomorrow from Little Rock to coordinate a concession.

"The handwriting is on the wall," the aide said, indicating that was the plan whether or not McCain officially reaches 1,191 delegates tonight.

The aide said that Huckabee wants to have contact with McCain tomorrow in Little Rock before deciding what next to do.

McCain and Huckabee are both neocons anyway. The Republican field has never looked so dim.

Andrea Mitchell just finished interviewing Terry McAuliffe, Clinton Campaign Manager, who was excited about a possible shift in momentum thanks to Ohio. Apparently, the Clinton Campaign is ready to try and overturn the Florida Primary so that voters can re-vote, therefore counting delegates not currently in
the mix. As a registered Republican for over 30 years, I was planning on voting for whichever democratic candidate nominated, since I, like many Americans, want change, a healthier economy and out of Iraq. HOWEVER, if the Clintons think they can simply change the rules in the middle of the game,claiming a do over so that they can win those uncounted delegates, is undemocratic, and political nonsense to the nth degree. I would vote for John McCain, Mike Huckabee or Mickey Mouse, rather than any democrat who thinks they can simply bend the rules to suit their game. I mean, if Bill Clinton could rewrite the dictionary's meaning of "is", I suppose he and Hillary think they can also change the primary, by simply calling "do over." How arrogant!

Good run Huck, Good run! Watch out in 20012. Who ever is the president for '08 will be a one term president, no matter who wins. Go Huckster, see y'all in 2012.

Hopefully Huckabee will run again in 4 years! This is so disappointing. So much for people wanting change. I suppose we (republican/independent) could vote Demacrat in the general election. Might as well. Or not vote at all. Huckabee would have been great. He gave it a good run, too. I will have trouble getting behind McCain. Huckabee 2012!!

So does this mean that Kevin Spacey will still play Mike Huckabee in the new movie, "Election - 2008?".....

With the choices we have now, America is in BIG trouble. It is on the biggest downhill slide of any civilization in history. May the Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy on all those who call on his Name!
