Presidential Election (February Update)

Everyone so much has happened.

Mitt Romney has dropped out of the race, leaving only Mike Huckabee and John McCain as contenders.

The media has been sabotaging Mike Huckabee this whole race. Every attempt they get they say he can't win. He's not a factor. He only has evangelicals. So on and so forth. THIS RACE IS NOT OVER!

McCain has ~700 delegates right now. He needs almost 1200 to get the nomination. There are 1199 delegates still up for grabs. To seal this he needs 40% of the remaining delegates. Now mind you that these delegates are not assigned proportionally. Even in states that are not Winner Take all statewide, some are Winner take all by precinct. In states like that, even a small margin of victory can give you the overwhelming number of delegates. We've seen that in earlier states where winning by a few point might give you a 30 to 5 delegate advantage.

For Huckabee to seal the deal he would have to win 80% of the remaining delegates. This is doable, but HE DOESN'T HAVE TO DO THAT. HE ONLY NEEDS TO WIN 60%+ to force a convention vote that would causes the Romney and other delegates to have to make a choice. MOST OF THESE DELEGATES WOULD GO TO HUCKABEE BARRING ANY INTERFERENCE FROM ROMNEY TELLING THEM TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.

It is easy, very easy for a conservative like Huckabee, no longer splitting the vote with Romney get to more than 60% of the remaining delegates. If he gets 75% or so, I think he has an almost even chance of picking up enough of Romney's delegates to win. Getting 75% of the vote would be hard, but with these winner take all precincts, getting 75% of the delegates is VERY doable!!!!

Let's be reminded of who McCain is. He is the man that called the leaders of the Christian Coalition within the party "agents of intolerance" and went on to call us "evil" influence on the Republican party. EVIL!!!! McCain believe us Christians who want a voice in the party are evil!

He supports embryonic stem-cell research which fundamentally is just another form of abortion/murder. He does not support defining marriage as between a man and a woman, which I guess is in line with his view that we are "agents of intolerance". He tried to give amnesty in the last immigration bill (McCain-Kennedy), before building a fence. He is co-author of the McCain-Feingold bill to restrict political free speech.

Some have said that he has explicitly stated he would not support justices like Alito, although there may not be enough evidence to confirm that. Considering that he views us Christians as EVIL I can imagine that he would not nominate an Alito or Thompson to the court.

There is a concerted effort by the media to end this race now, to discourage voters. Scott Rasmussen has even gone so far as to end his polling on the republican side to sabotage Mike Huckabee, or so it appears:

What can you do?

Mike Huckabee has been running on a shoe-string budget. He needs contributions to get the 70% of the remaining delegates he'll need to win at convention by winning over Romney's delegates.

God has given us a great opportunity to influence our party. Do we want another Republican who is not socially conservative, someone like Reagan or Bush Sr. who gave us a record of 3 out of 5 Supreme Court Justices that support Roe vs Wade? McCain would probably give us all bad judges. We need a true social conservative and that man is Mike Huckabee.
