I guess folks are jumping on Huckabee band wagon. Here is my prediction, Huckabee will win IOWA, loose NH, MI, FL and win SC and split the rest of southern states with Fred Thompson

Romney will win NH, MI, IL, IN and NV but lost all southern sate. Guliani will probably win in NY, FL, CA, NJ and PA; however, he is going to loose all the southern states including the mid west.

Huckabee is now 1st in Iowa, South Carolina, North Carolina and Arkansas...is 2nd in Florida & Pennsylvania. His momentum is really moving at the right time. Amazing that this is happening despite the fact that he's only spent $2mil...while Romney: $60mil+, Rudy: $40mil+ & Thompson: $30mil+ keep sinking in the polls, despite all of their financial resources.

Hopefully this is a trend that we'll continue to see in politics. It sickens me to see hundreds of millions of dollars wasted in these campaigns.

Huckabee is enjoying his fifteen minute surge but will tank hard as Americans soon realize he's not a real conservative. C'mon people! He's known as "tax hike Mike!" He pardoned a jailed rapist who later raped and killed another woman! Is this man the kind of candidate the Republicans want to promote? Do we really need more bad judgement in the White House?

Mitt Romney has been saying for months that America needs a man of faith - so he has not been averse to playing the religious card . He has made his much publicised speech but he has continued his lack of transparancy with the voters . All are agreed that Jesus is at the heart of the Christian faith . Voters will be shocked and horrified at the Mormon notion that Jesus is the Devil's brother originating from a planet near a star called Kolob . It is also strange that Mitt Romney is trying to court Church Pastors when he in the secret Mormon Temple ritual consented with the presentation that the Christian Pastor was in the hire and pay of Satan . How can voters make informed decisions if they are starved of information . Romney is fully aware that if the voters knew these things the American people might decide that they do not want a man of his sort of faith .

Mr Romney can we have some simple to goodness honesty from you .

The Huckster is a flash in the pan. The reason why the right wing relgious fanatics didn't go for him is that they knew more about him than what the public has learned from the superficial MSM news reporting, including the very superficial First Read. Now, that he is temporarily the front runner, the republican opposition are sharpening their knives and about to demolish this fraud. But, who do they have left? One by one the republicans bounce from one scandal to another. They can't support "Sex ON the City" Rudy, as he will never get anywhere now that his scandals are getting circulation. They hate McCain and like him least of all. They will see Huck as a religious fraud. Freddie is lame beyond belief. And Willard Mitt is the grand daddy of all flip floppers. That just leaves their minor candidates who are all discounted for even better reasons. Maybe they will nominate Duncan Hunter. Now there's a winner!

Huckabee, although "charming" is a true fiscal conservative's worst nightmare. He loves taxes, domestic spending programs and amnesty for illegals. His "fair tax" has little traction to actually see the light of day and based on his record as governor he's certainly no friend of the tax payer. He also doesn't have the wherewithal to separate church and state. Whatever he believes is not only his business, but if elected, will now be all of ours as well. If you thought George Bush's "compassionate conservatism" and "faith based" governing policies were bad, you ain't seen nothing yet. He's a theocrat with a hawkish stance on the middle east and a populist economic streak that would make some democrats blush. The current GOP has cast off the last vestiges of limited government, fiscal conservatism and civil liberties and that has produced this guy at the top of the polls. Apparently the current GOP and Mike Huckabee deserve each other. If Ron Paul doesn't win the GOP primary we're looking at two different flavors of authoritarian facing off against each other in the general. Be very afraid.

That MSNBC allows this ABUSE to be posted on First Read without factually checking this garbage is egregious. The same goes for the abuse heaped on Huckabee. The majority of the blogs are hate-filled with such narrow-minded views that they don't deserve recognition. If these are the values of MSNBC, to allow a religion to be slandered and misrepresented by people who only THINK they know the Mormon religion (and DO NOT) and to allow good men of character like Romney and Huckabee to be treated so disrespectfully is disgusting. Shame on your incredibly biased approach MSNBC/First Read. Shame on the so-called "Christians" who don't take counsel from their own religion to love their neighbors as themselves.

"I would hope that no matter who we are, or where we are from, that America should always be a place that opens its arms, opens it heart, opens its spirit to people who come because they want the best for their families ...,"

Then he a cracked a joke about the demographic demise White Americans in the United States:

"Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority," Huckabee said jokingly as the crowd roared in laughter.

Because I know the facts. Under Arkansas law a Governor can't pardon any criminals. There is a special board to do that. Under Huckabee our education greatly improved. One of Public schools in Arkansas even got the Blue Ribbon Award, THE most prestigious award a school can get. He left Arkansas with a 800 million dollar surplus! GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT! Huckabee will win because he is genuine and he actually cares. While all the candidates go around spending money and arguing Huckabee is running for President. Who do you want for your President? The same type of person running as the past 100 years or a new genuine person who can get things done? By the way, based on how much all the other candidates have spent compared to Mike Huckabee's 2 million, you can be sure that he knows how to handle money!

To find out what Barack Obama's views were, would you go to Hillary Clinton? Without question, the response would be negatively twisted against him. Yet that is exactly what occurs when people seek(or dispense) information about Mormons. They accept information from sources hostile to the religion. The previous comments about Mormon beliefs are so obviously taken from sources antagonistic to the faith, that certainly no one should take them seriously. They display an ignorant, bigoted,and un-informed "twisting" of information. That sort of "informed" decision is true starvation indeed.

Why all the fuss about what Mormons believe or do in their temples? Catholics apparently believe that they are consuming the actual flesh and blood of Christ when they take communion, don't they? So what? I don't care. Some Protestants believe that you can get to heaven merely by confessing a belief (regardless of how horrible they act). Sounds a little ridiculous, but I don't care. So Mormons' beliefs about Jesus are different from Catholics and Protestants. So what? When the Constitution says we don't have religious tests, that's what it means. I don't care if a candidate is Catholic, Protestant, Mormon, Jewish, or some other faith. It does not matter as long as I agree with his political and moral positions.

My advice is to know Jesus and know peace. Huckabee is the only candidate I'm voting for. Seriously, try praying about it.

Well tony,
Speak for yourself. I believe the U.S. Constitution addresses separation of Church and State. Does it not?
I am a Christian myself, a devout one and I do believe Mormonism is a cult, however I do think Mitt Romney is an honorable man but I could not vote for him because he is a Mormon.
I also can't vote for someone who appears to be a Christian like Huckabee. He is way too dumb to be president, you think we got problems now with this
so called "Christian" president Bush, just vote in an incompetent, incapable person such as Huckabee and our country could collapse.
On the other hand Hilary Clinton is a very devout Christian too. I am a Methodist, she is a Methodist and her husband is a Southern Baptist, George Bush is a Methodist. We all believe in Jesus and that he died for our sins so lets just keep that personal and vote for a candidate who can run the country.
Hilary can do that and she will have Bill as her advisor.

It's hillarious to me that Huckabbe supporters claim that he has "crossover appeal". Suuure...I know lots of democrats who are itching to have a preacher in the white house.

Yes Lynne, you know me so well. Um no. I do not go to Ronnie Floyd's Church. I do however go to First Baptist in Bentonville where we worship Jesus. Interesting that you are so quick to judge who people worship after only sitting in one service. As Christians, we must look at the logs in our own eyes before looking at the specks in others. You should know that. I respect you for having your opinion but those of us who have Jesus in our hearts need to stick together despite some differences. If you have Christ in your heart I urge you to watch what you say to people. Both of your posts made me loose respect for what you had to say because of the way you said it.
By the way, you really shouldn't call the next President of the US dumb ;).

Matt

PS: The Constitution doesn't mention anything about Seperation of Church and State. You can read the Constitution fron to back and never find those words. It was in a letter by Thomas Jefferson, however, urging Americans to keep the STATE out of the Church, not the other way around.

Well Matt, I went to Ronnie Floyd's church for about 3 years so its not like I just went there 1 time.
Ronnie Floyd said from the pulpit in 2004 "Vote God"
How repulsive!. What a bunch of fake peope those folks are!
I finally returned to the Methodist church which is the church I was brought up worshiping Jesus in.
Baptists are the most judgemental of any church and superficial too.
Huckabee is very weak as a leader and not very knowledgeable either. He does appear to be a Christian but that does not qualify him to be president of the U.S. I will say one thing though he is not a crook like Mayor Guiliani( that guy is the worst of the worst and facts support that) however Huckabee did parole a rapist who went out and raped & murdered again and I saw him lie on TV about being responsible for that, he blamed Bill Clinton - don't know how he figures that one.
He will never gain any traction in large states like California and Florida. He may win Iowa but probably not any other state.
I am a Democrat and I totally 100% support Hilary Clinton. She is experienced, intelligent, a leader and a christian lady who kept her marriage vows through difficult times. She's the best suited to lead the country. Not to worry Matt dear, no Republican will be elected in 2008,George Bush has made certain of that.

Hello folks,

I am an african american from Illinois. I never thought I would be impressed by a republican candidate. However, the last U-2 CNN debate of republican candidate has take my attention to Huckubbee. I liked him. He is eloquent and appealing.

I will change my party affiliation to republican to vote fir Huckubee. If he got 49% of african american vote in Arkansas as a republican he must be good for the poor and minorities.

I think as more and more listen to Huckubee he will get more and more support for the people. I think in Nivember the race will be betwee Huchubee and Obama. It will be a very civil and historic race.

The nightmare scenario for me is to see a Guliani presidency. If Guliani is elected I will consider as if Mussolini is elected. His administration will be exactly the same as Bush and human rights will continue be eroded, wars will be everywhere and the US economy will go to the drain. ME MUST NOT ALLOW THE GULIANI PRESIDENCY.

Ya, I guess I'm pretty transparent and I would like to see our country turn to the lord instead of turning away from him. When Solomon allowed the removal of the temples from the high places and allowed everything else to replace the symbols of the most high it was pretty much a death sentence for Israel......Kind of reminds you of a certain modern day country trying to rip religion out of itself. I guess we are doomed to repeat past mistakes in the name of progression! Thanks for your wise words Matt.

Please be real folks, my pick is John Edwards/Bill Richardson, the country has no other choice. Most folks change there minds when they go to the voting booth.Be real, folks are not going to vote for an educated black man who went to Princeton, although I would, but we don't live in my ram.Imagine, Hillary Clinton,President, Nancy Pelosi,Speaker of the House and Obama, Vice President, it would be grand, but not going to happen.

Mike, Utah — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 21:45:50 GMT

I am mormon and I do not like Mitt. I will not vote for him. I do not believe he has been as forthcoming about our religion, for which I am proud. I will vote for Huckabee because I believe he is more sincere and has a better record, ie, no flip flopping, etcetera, and he has not bought his vote like Mitt. I am proud of what I am, a mormon, and yes, for those comments above, we do believe in Kolob where gods are and where we may one day be. Get over it. That is what our religion is about. God was once a man as we are now and went through this process to become a god himself. As we are doing now.

You know why you hadn't heard much about Mike? Beceause he isn't trying to sell an image of who he is like every other candidate. He is real, he has values, and he cares more about the country than about being president. The other candidates have to poll people to find out what they care about.

I think Huckabee will fall very hard on SC. Thompson is very strong there and he will win SC and the nomination

You can't just consider the state polls though. The National polls have him at either 1st or 2nd. By the way, Lynne, I responded to you but for some reason it didn't come up. I am not going to respond again. I will just say that you may want to go pray and meditate long an hard on the way your posts where written.

People on SS need to read the fine print on Mike Huckabee, a 23% sales tax would put a real spin on our money. We don't usually pay the IRS anything after we start drawing it unless we are rich, and I am not rich. This 23% tax on what I buy will devastate me.

I support Mike I look at the news and see that there back to 1992 now looking at a Ap survey to sling at him. Give me a break if this is all they can come up with Nit picky stuff he will win hands down. Think about it you have a flip flop employing illegals, a adultry based canidate from NY that has never balenced a state budget, a lazy guy rom TN. How can a honest guy who will stand up to his mistakes in the past which is very few not be appealing to the people. Mike don't have hundreds of millions in his bank account like the others, he had to actually work for what he has got. This is the reason most poor/middle class will vote him for president.

Go Mike
