Huckabee has to get worried about South Carolina, however. A new poll released today has him trailing McCain -- and most polls agree. Link to this survey: http://www.campaigndiaries.com/2008/01/morning-polls-gop-muddle-in-michigan.html

I am a democrat, have been all my life. I supported Bill Clinton always. However I cannot stand what the Clinton campaign is doing to Obama. She is the one that misspoke and is now trying to blame it all on his campaign. She is one of the "good old boys" she will not change anything, and our country will remain polarized if she gets elected. If she gets the nomination I will not vote for her. I actually will consider voting Republican for the first time in my life.
I have also lost my respect for Bill Clinton.

Oh the power of suggestion. President Johnson did not pass the civil rights bill in 64, he signed it. The republicans passed the bill. It is amazing how the dems have gotten the credit on civil rights when the republicans have done most of the work. Wake up black america, all the democrats do is talk about helping you but have they really helped? As long as the dems can keep black americans down they think the dems will help, han't happened yet has it?

These divisions have been in the Deomcratic Pary for a while, it just took this election to bring them tot he surface. I personally believe that Hillary will get the nomination, because that is what the status quo of the Democratic Party wants. Obama will be the good Democrat and tell his supporters to vote for Hillary, but I believe many will stay away from the polls, because they will feel that Hillary lied and cheated her way into the nomination. This is truly a watershed moment for the Democratic party.

I was at the event in GR and it was a good crowd. McCain and Romney both have more instutional support but Huckabee has a more loyal following.... His supporters have an emotional attachment to his candidacy and that should translate to higher turnout than the McCain and Romney camps who are voting for them because they have to.

Mike Huckabee
(A Common Mans View)

It has been said in times past (by Democrats), that the Republican Party represents only the Rich and forgets about the poor and middle class. I have long defended republicans by saying that this not true and that they do care about the fate of those of us who are less fortunate than others. I also believe that the Republican Party has been strong when it tightly embraces its core valves such as Anti-Abortion and Anti-Gay marriage. I am not a Church goer, but I agree with Evangelicals that these core values in particular, are very important to the moral fiber of our society. It is for these reasons, among many others, that I am firmly support Mike Huckabee. As I see the media, political analyst, and fellow opponents attack Mike Huckabee, I realize that some voters in America are wondering what the Republican Party stands for. They see the rich, elite, Republican establishment attacking Huckabee, and wonder why go after a man who connects with the average American voter on issues like the economy, taxes, national defense, and values.

While the media and Washington insiders will tell you this not happening, common people are getting his message and we like what we hear. Meanwhile, the Rich, Elite, Republican establishment offers us a multi-million dollar candidate who has not always subscribed to core values like Anti-Abortion, A candidate who is Pro-Abortion and Pro-Gay Marriage, and a Candidate who was and is Pro-Amnesty. So, why oppose Mike Huckabee? The answer is simple, he does not belong to the Rich, elite, Republican establishment. This is exactly why we (The Republican Party) unite behind Mike Huckabee and send to Washington a President who will represent all of the Republican Party by standing Firm in his convictions and true to his Values.

Forget Huckabee. McCain has the "MO" right now, and again, I say, since he's a Moderate, he can get a lot of cross over voting all over the country.

In my opinion, the main stream media is trying 2 create a split. Mainly FAUXED NEWS. They want the 2 front runners to fight and look bad. They used race and gender as a wedged issue instead of looking at the main issues. The GOP has wrecked this country for years. The war, jobs, health insurance. Yesterday, RUDY G wants to give big business another tax break and wealthy as well. The smae old ball and chain from all of the GOP. Trickle down econmics will welcome the terroist here. Gay bashing and abortion. As if everyone else sins but them. They fear our 2 front runners. 1. O.B. and H.C. will bring this country togather. 2. they both will install jobs for the middle class and keep jobs in the USA. 3.They will talk to the world and slove problems instead of sounding like a JOHN WAYNE wannabe and restore the USA TO NO.1 in world respect. 4.The GOP wants us to fuss with 1 another. Right wing news media wants it to be a issue of race and gender and the rest of the media wants a unwarrent story. The DEMOS top 2 beat all of the GOP guys heads up. Give me a break and i hope all of you that are voting blue and independents leaning blue, get pass the smoke screen. This country is ready for a BLACK MAN to lead and a WOMAN as well. The media knows it and they don,t like it. The right wing media needs to get a life. BILL,RUSH S.H. and the rest of those guys because they know they have a 2 headed monster to fight and good monsters at that. The remaining media needs to get a life as well and realized the DNC has 2 very good people running to lead our country and the 3rd place guy looks good as well.

Dear David,-Cinn.Ohio--Are you really trying to tell me the republicans have done more all through history fo the black people?? YOU BETTER GO BACK AND STUDY YOUR HISTORY. John F. Kennedy (Democrate) started the Civil Rights Act (before he was assassinated) Johnson (Dem) passed and signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Repubs in Congress had no choice but to pass it, because of the growing Shame in the American people for the way they treated the black people for so long. THE REPUBLICANS HAD NO OTHER CHOICE. P.S ask any of the black leaders about how much the Clintons have done for them through the years. (There is a reason they called Bill Clinton--the first Black "white" President.

I have watched Michigan jobs dry up for about 40 years. The economy is changing. The job market is changing and the problem is that the people are mostly unwilling to change with it. There is a resistance in this state to the idea that a college education is necessary-- because there's always been a job "at the plant" or "at the mill." Parents are not instilling the idea that a college education is something that will prepare a person for a wider variety of jobs. There are jobs - I see ads in the paper every day but there is no one with the required credentials to fill them. That's why we're importing doctors and nurses, engineers and technicians from India, Pakistan, Japan and China. American citizens, trained for those jobs, could certainly do them just as well.

It is time for us to start thinking “outside the box”, if you will. America has never experienced such a condensed nominating process such as this. Team Romney should consider teaming up with Fred Thompson or Duncan Hunter. Offer one of them V.P. Show America the Dream Team. Do this before Super Tuesday. The FREE MEDIA exposure would be amazing. This would give us a huge boost nationally, as well as assure the National Republican Party, that Romney is legitimate. These are new times with regards to politics. Let’s really shake things up and put an end to Mr. McCain and Mr. Huckabee

America would be best served if the general election would be between Obama and McCain. I don't know who I would vote for then, which makes it a good thing. I know for a fact that I will vote for Obama if McCain doesn't get the nomination, and I will vote for McCain if Obama doesn't get the nod. Just as long as we don't have Shrillary, Romney, or the Theocrat from Arkansas.

I was just amazed the other day by Mike Huckabee. I was a McCain fan and I switched to Huckabee. He preached at First Baptist North Spartenburg. He was a great and powerful message. To listen go to firstnorth.org. He did not talk about politics but a simple message of faith. I believe he next President must have faith in order to truly understand the people. Go Huckabee

My dear fellow Citisens.

It is the highest time to put the media bull and the spin politics out of busines as far as the election goes. Drastic change and only drastic change is going to save USA. Check our History! Never mind president with the experience. That we don't need. What we need is a smart and intelligent person that knows something other than politics as usual. Of course the elite will not like this a bit and will try to put him out early on.

The last of those who sought to block the Civil Rights Act who either just retired[Hollings,South Carolina],or are still serving in Congress[Byrd,West Virginia],are Democrats.

Lee,

Don't kid yourself, the electorate in the South who were against the Civil Rights bill being passed are all Republicans now. The Southern Seantors who were around then like Hollings who remained Democrats repented and went on to enjoy wide African American support in subsequent elections.

Courtney: Nonsense. There is not a single southern Republican senator or congressman currently serving or recently retired save the lone Strom Thurmond[R-SC],who aligned himself against this bill. Hollings did. So did Byrd. So did algores dad. But it was Republicans who advanced this bill with Everett Dirksen doing what no other Democrat,even a Kennedy,would get on board with. This,and the fact that Georgia,Louisiana,Arkansas,Texas,South Carolina,Alabama,Tennessee,remained dependable Democrat bastions long after the CR Act was passed,and even long after Nixons so-called ''Southern Strategy''.[which is incredibly backfiring on Democrats who have been caught redhanded with the introduction of racial politics into the present race,over four decades later,with much wailing and gnashing of teeth].
