Why are you just discussing the horserace on Super Tuesday and not the attributes and positions held by the candidates? You are using the McClatchey poll which had Obama leading Clinton in June. When was the last time you said something positive about Hillary? I would like to see in-depth coverage but, unfortunately, I guess that is impossible.

Mike Huckabee has supported Mitt Romney in his religious contentions only to have him come out and attack him. Romney has the right to do it, but if this is a test of character, I choose Mike Huckabee.

If you support Mike Huckabee's message, I strongly urge you to take my challenge by visiting: www.abuckforhuck.com

With your help, he will make a difference!

And he has a double-digit lead in the SUSA SC poll (http://www.campaigndiaries.com/2007/12/huckabee-keeps-rising-as-attacks.html). And in other poll news, a new general election poll of Wisconsin has things as close as they could be, with Obama running a bit better than Clinton: http://www.campaigndiaries.com/2007/12/morning-roundup-thompson-leaves-nh-and.html

Wow this just gets worse and worse for Senator Clinton. No one is even campaigning in Georgia and her lead has been cut in half (from 13 to 7). It looks like if she loses Iowa, there will be a tsunami that is going to carryover into the Feb. 5 states.

vanreuter, NY NY — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 19:26:09 GMT

Look at the tsunami of support for Huck in Iowa, from today's Ras;

Republican Iowa Caucus
Iowa: Huckabee 39% Romney 23% No One Else in Double Digits

Republican Iowa Caucus
Iowa: Huckabee 39% Romney 23% No One Else in Double Digits
Tuesday, December 11, 2007

It was just two weeks ago that Rasmussen Reports released the first Iowa Caucus poll showing Mike Huckabee with an advantage over Mitt Romney. A lot has changed over the past two weeks and Huckabee’s lead has now grown to double digits.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the Iowa caucus finds Huckabee with 39% of the vote, Romney with 23% support, and everyone else in single digits. Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson get just 8% of the vote in Iowa at this time. Arizona Senator John McCain is at 6% just one point ahead of Congressman Ron Paul.

Huckabee’s support in Iowa is up eleven points from the poll conducted in late November. Over the past month, Huckabee has more than doubled his support from 16% on November 12 to 39% today. Romney has lost two points from the previous survey and is down six points over the past month.

Huckabee also leads in South Carolina, is tied for the lead in Michigan, and is near the top with Rudy Giuliani in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll. Results for the latest polling in New Hampshire will be released later this week."

I'm a democrat, a Clinton supporter and not saying that Huckabee is going to win the republican nomination, but Huckabee's meteoric rise in Iowa, and now nationally, that is the BIG story of this election cycle. The guy is competing against the field with empty pockets and starting to leave them in his dust. It's truly remarkable and, whatever your opinion of him as a person or a candidate, a testament to the power of an individual to transcend the popular wisdom by sheer force of personality. Go Huck!

The Huckabee surge appears to be a national event that is drawing support from many different groups. While he seems to have a strong base of conservatives behind him, they seem to be attracted for different reasons. The South Carolina polls that I looked at yesterday showed Huckabee the top choice not just among people who placed "values" as their most important issues but also "security/terrorism", "immigration", and the "economy". Kind of intesting...

Americans are stupid, after all they voted for Bush. So it stands to reason that they will try and elect a Baptish minister to be Pres. of the USA. People ought to check his record in his own state. There is a lot that this man has to account for. Republicans are a gas. They want the Latino vote, but just want to send all the relatives back were they came from. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Huckabee wanted to quarantine AIDS infected people in 1992. That's his healthcare plan right there. So be careful, if you get the flu while he's president, you'll be rounded up and sent to some kind of flu lepper-type colony.

Huckabee has a chance to do something as long as the attacks that are leveled are answered quickly with really positive responses. I don't think that he really can do it. I hope that he doesn't solely rely on his charm.

Watch out for two of my guys I told you about; Obama and Huckabee. I got ridiculed when I told you about Huckabee last month but polls that came out vindicate my prediction.

Here is another one for you democrats to ponder on. If Democratic Party nominates Hillary, i can guarantee you the migration of independents and Conservative Democrats to Huckabee. He is a fresh face in the national stage just as Obama. The guy is a brilliant debater, better campaigner and he is not from Washington. He is for real and genuine; the only weapon democrats might have on him is for them to nominate Obama otherwise kiss the election good bye

Don't count out Edwards winning Iowa and then winning the whole thing in the end. One should never bet against the white man in the election. There is a reason why, sadly, that we have never elected a woman or a person of color to the office of President. Down the road people will look beyond race and gender but sadly I do not think that we are there yet.

-----CLINTON SLEEZE FATIGUE WILL INVIGORATE GOP, DISPIRIT DEMOCRATS AND SINK DEMOCRATIC TICKET-----

-----EDWARDS/RICHARDSON TO WIN-----

It is possible that Senator Clinton is the best candidate. However, even though many may like the policies that Senator Clinton proposes, they should also consider her record, just as Senator Clinton insists.
.
The last Clinton Administration, when faced with the fact that protection rackets where assaulting, torturing and murdering people with poison and radiation, chose to avoid its responsibilities to incarcerate the criminals and to protect the citizenry.
.
Instead, they made a deal with the criminal gang stalker protection rackets to leave them alone and to consequently abandon the citizenry.
.
Do we want a President who sells out the citizenry for votes?
.
Do we want a President who sends a "crime does pay" message to society?
.
Would you vote for a President who signed nonaggression deals with the KKKlan or the Nazi party? Gangs that torture with poison and radiation are much like the KKKlan and Nazi Party.
.
We do not need a sellout President. We need a principled leader President.
.
If you are one of the few who do not know what the above refers to, do a web search for “gang stalking” to see the tip of the dirtberg. Please do it before you decide to reply to my post. Here let me make it easy for you: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22gang+stalking%22.

you guys are complaining about huckabee being a conservative and a baptist pastor, wow. Hillary is as qualified as Pat Robertson. She wants to strengthen the family by tapping into churches for moral values, but she voted no for notifying parents on out of state abortions for their kids. Way to strengthen the family by lying to them. She flops on every issue and i can't morally support someone who would lie to me. Plus you guys need to do your homework on the AIDS issue. We knew nothing about it and mike was the first one to say if it is like any other plague we've had in america, we isolate it. Too bad no democrats had the courage to make a plan. Plus Mike Huckabee is tied to a bible preaching church. If you want to get involved with religion, Mike Huckabee would kick your butt Democrats.

And not to mention that she sat by silently and said nothing about her husband cheating on her. How can she stand up to terrorism when she didn't even stand up to her husband. A strong woman would have left him and never looked back. What a joke!

we need jobs to feed our families, not handout programs

sensible retirement and medical plans, not broken promises and broken budgets and broken security

Illegal aliens are not the solution they are the cause of many problems: lost jobs, faltering wages, social and medical spending overload, it is a huge problem, the war in iraq is finally waning, the illegal alien problems are still here and worsening.

Los angeles county spent 1 billion on illegals last year as announced by Mike Antonovich, we could do alot to save our state with that 1 billion. YOUR CITY will be economically drained too if we don't take action and demand our leaders save our country. THIS is why we have a border so our country and our way of life is secured. Past immigration from around the world helped build this nation, uncontrolled illegal immigration is ruining this nation.

A reading, thinking citizen! — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 04:45:24 GMT

Do any of you actually read what the CANDIDATES write and not what is written about them.

What I want:

An individual who can read!
Take what they read and apply it to life experiences.
Have a set of core beliefs that guide them but do not keep them stagnant or irrelevant!
Learn from their mistakes.
Surround themselves with other reading, thinking, learning people.
At the end of the day - be able to state with conviction why they believe what they do and be willing to make the hard choice to see it through, but also be willing to adapt if new information or circumstances indicate a change in strategy is indicated ( Thus Flip Flopping must be put in the context of time!)
Proof of these principles of leadership are based on years of "trial and error" and despite all of that finding new strategies for leadership and personal success while considering the good of the whole, not just personal gain.
Let's be honest - who would actually want to make the sacrafice to be President of the United States without having an ego, being driven, and setting that as a goal!
When you take all of these things in to consideration there is only one choice for President - Hillary Clinton. Just take a moment to read her work over 30+ years - not what others have written, not what her husband has written or done, and consider the future.
It is going to take someone who can talk the talk and walk the walk - warm fuzzies will not get us wheere we need to be!
The road forward is going to be hard - it is going to take someone strong, insightful, and determined to get us there!
We can no longer think in narrow, personal terms, but need to consider the good of the whole.
Great gains for the few are far too costly when small gains for the masses will bring much greater reward and sustaining benefit!
Take a minute to read, and think, and focus on what is really important!

I have been voteing for over 47 years now.I voted for JFK at age 18.I was thrilled at the time by a man who stole my heart and really had a vision of the future.Obama is no JFK.I am working for Hillary and feel that beyond Iowa and NH,she will win in the big states,rich with delegates.She will have 2,184 by July 1st,or even sooner.I live in Oregon where she is very popular.She is way ahead here and in California,and in Washington.Looking at an open map of the country I don't see Obama geting the delegates in the big states,other than his own in Ill.I know you have to talk news 24/7,but Hillary is going to win going away,and will beat any republican in the November,2008 election.The American people want change.And Hillary knows how Washington runs.She is a fighter,she will get things done,whatever it takes.
I believe she will be a breathe of fresh air,hope for the middle class,and the poor.She has a heart,unlike Bush who has run America into the ground and will leave office known as the worst President since Hoover and the Great Depression.Yes,I do believe in my heart that their is a place called "Hope"

Huckabee's records in terms of economic development while being governor of AR really sucks. Before he took over AR it was ranked 48-49th and is still ranked 48-49th! He left office at the end of last year. And he is definitely pandering the illegal immigrants so their supporters can vote for him enmasse. His flat tax pretty much leaves in the Fed-IRS mess we are! Not sure what is so appealing about him as a statesman. Yes, he can definitely send you home without touching the real issue with a holier than you after taste. Yes, he is good salesman, can speak like a real politician but then we already have a bunch of them in DC. One more will be too many.

In their desperate attempts to demean him, the flunkies at MSNBC, FOX, and CNN act like they think Mike Huckabee is Moses (Charlton Heston) in The Ten Commandments, standing at the entrance to the Red Sea in his red robe with arms outstretched, and they are all Pharoah's soldiers, who will perish when he calls upon the power of the Lord.

Keep bashing hillary democrat fans, If you get Obama we will be sure to lose to the republicans and that is exactly what you see in the blogs is people acting like they support Obama. If he gets the nomination we will lose OUR party for 08. Clinton is strong and needs to be in the white house. Clinton 08! SHE IS BETTER THAN BUSH, MORONS! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ALREADY WHAT WE HAD TO DEAL WITH, CHRISTIAN EXTREMIST WITH NO CARE FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS OR OUR PLANET. AMERICA AS DUMB AS USUAL, IF OPRAH SAYS ITS GOOD IT MUST BE. DUMB SOOO SOOO DUMB!!!!!We're not going to need ballot initiatives to win this next election. I mean, if we can't point to what the Republicans have done to this country in eight years and win, then we don't deserve to win!!!!! ALl politicians have ghost in thier closets but hey at least she wont take us to war or screw our environment or take days to help a state in emergency... COME ON! EITHER YOUR A WOMAN THAT IS iNSECURE ABOUT YOURSELF WITH THE MONICA THING OR YOUR A MAN WITH THE FEAR OF BREAST RUNNING THE COUNTRY. WE HAD TO PUT UP WITH IDIOTS IN THE WHITE HOUSE ITS TIME FOR A WOMEN TO CLEAN UP THE MESS!

Fred is dead, grumpy uncles are loved but not respected.
Huck may survive the long knives of the repub bluebloods but will be weakened.
Rudy is the joke this election cycle, frozen in his Rudyness.
Mitt is the blueblood candidate, money is king.
Ron Paul is the semi-skinhead candidate, we hate all of the government, a plague on everyones house.
John McCain is the drunken uncle, Ignore him, he is not none of us.
Mitt and Huck will be beating each other for the nomination and then they will be too weak to beat the dem candidate.
The stakes are high, do we want four more years of lazy people running our country on ideological priciples that Bush has fostered on our country?

My bottom line: Huckabee is the only one of the top tier candidates on either side that I feel like I can trust (Obama comes in a close second)

I also abhor a process that tells me only the ones with the most money in the bank have a chance to win the Presidency. There's something wrong with that-this is still the greatest Democracy in the history of the world and I'm pulling for Huck!

Ok...I graduated High School in 1989...we knew what AIDS was then and how it was transmitted. Huck made the "round them up" comments in 1992. Honestly, I hope he does get the Rep. nomination. I think he would get trounced. I hope America is tired of being led by religious zealots who will elect any candidate that is anti-abortion or gay despite how horribly they might run the rest of the country.

I LIKE MIKE! Before you 'dis' him, look at where he stands on the issues,www.mikehuckabee.com and watch how when he debates, he doesn't change his stance. Huckabee is not perfect, and he'll tell you so!
In California, there is a huge surge of support for him and his supporters have raised over $500,000 since the Iowa Caucus. The Status Quo Has Got To Go!!
Huckabee 08..
