As much as I hate Clinton News Network, they have a great article on Mike Huckabee surging ahead in the polls!!! [8D]

He is on a roll but there are some who feel his campaign is flawed and he will soon implode. I watched a CNN tape today where Glen Beck said he was going down...soon. The guy still has my vote but with the primary season approaching the polls and my choice might change. Mistakes now can have disastrous consequences. Time for Hillary to start her slide to a distant 3rd place

Only voters can allow him to slide - Huckabee, the more exposure he gets, the more poeple seem to be drawn to his underdog, ultra conservative, religious based views

funny huh ........ he's pro-life, anti-gay, pro-marriage, pro-GOD and he's making waves like none since Perot have

and his campaign started with very little $$

There is a lot to like from the way I see it. The only problem he has at this point is being top dog he is open to sniping from everyone. With all those other candidates looking to discredit him there is danger. Timing is everything and if a controversial issue arises at the wrong time there could be disastrous consequences. He appears to be really fast on his feet and has a wicked sense of humor which helps him. I was talking with my 80 year old mother yesterday and she said she was going to vote for him and she came up with that right out of the blue. She watches CNN, Fox and other news networks all the time and she likes him. I have been waiting for a great white hope to come along and rescue our country. I think he might actually be the one...at least right now.

I agree with Champlain... Mike Huckabee is an excellent choice, but he has to be very very careful. Everyone will want to dig up junk on him and try to bring him down.

Huckabee is a good guy &, if it turns out to be he v. any of the democrat candidates, he's got my vote & support. I don't think he's the strongest candidate or the best candidate. Time will tell if he can survive the "tear-down" attempts. We'll see how things go once the votes are cast...
