With a year left to think about the presidential election, I'm at this point zeroing in on Huckabee. Actually I think I've pretty much decided. I think President Huckabee has a nice ring to it. My number one criteria for President is integrity and he qualifies.
He was the candidate who won hands down the Values Voter Presidential Debate in September. So many others feel the same about his fine character. He's a pro-family, pro-marriage, pro-borders, less government, strongly against Islamo-fascism and a strong family man. I've said it before. I'll only vote for a man who is a strong leader in his own home. If one cannot lead his home how can I expect him to lead a nation? .
Rasmussen Reports (polling firm) says right now there is no clear GOP frontrunner. During the 2004 presidential election the Rasmussen Reports was the only one to project both Bush and Kerry's vote total within half a percentage point of the actual outcome.
Now we know that Huckabee came in second in Iowa with very little money in comparison to the other candidates. One figure I read was he had five cents to the dollar that Mitt Romney had. How many know that according to the accurate Rasmussen poll, Huckabee is only 8 points behind Hillary Clinton (48 to 40 percent) and 9 points behind Barack Obama (47 to 38 percent)?
Even Bill Clinton is watching Huckabee. He feels that this is the only GOP hopeful saying on ABC "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" that Huckabee is the "only dark horse that's got any kind of chance .... He's the best speaker they've got."
Newt Gringich said, "If Huckabee can find money, he will be dramatically competitive almost overnight."
My prediction is it's going to come down to Huckabee or Hillary. I just pray and hope it's Huckabee in the end. It doesn't matter much how one starts a race, it's all in the finish.
