Huckabee: I will make an important announcment this weekend

[DrZ]

Looks like Ed Rollins will be available if Huckster doesn't run

Ron Paul campaign should hire Ed Rollins

 

[rockandrollsouls]

I've said a number of times the campaign has no bloody clue what it's doing. I've also said we shouldn't worry about the Bible Belt.

Who's ready to start listening to me now?

He was planning on waiting until June, but is now polling even w/ Ron in AZ and Fox is purportedly asking them to say if they are running. So maybe he feels pushed. I don't know which way he'll go, but I wish he had waited until next weekend so Ron could keep his weekend in the news cycle, that has to be why the campaign chose Friday...

 

[rockandrollsouls]

Anything's better than what we've had. A campaign with some show of success would be great...

That being said Ron needs to start appealing to the average American revealing what these "humble politicians" are indulging in. Ron needs to show his humble home compared to the million dollar homes of Huck, Romney, and the other candidates. Ron's the only candidate with grounding in reality with the population.

Ron Paul campaign should hire Ed Rollins

Huckabee goes after Romney over health care.

 

[trey4sports]

Huck is all the way up to 45% on Intrade, something is going on behind the scenes

I think it's just the stupid e-mail he sent today saying "things are going to get crazy" or something.

What time is his show?

Huckabee goes after Romney over health care.

That's the distraction compared to Romney's Insider/Corporate raiding with BAIN Capital... the great destroyer of American companies, jobs, and pensions. We have Romney supporting Clinton National Health Care back in 1994... the baggage on Romney is piling up. One shot should be in front of a national audience debate is why Romney is not running and seeking the presidential nomination for the Democratic Party, since all his policies, mandates and destruction of business/free enterprise is in line with the leftist/Marxist party.

I think this jargon that none of his campaign advisors (or whoever the hell) not knowing anything was all staged. It sounded too good to be true yesterday with each little tidbit popping up, but I think he was doing it to attract as many people as possible to his show, so when he announces he is running, he can conclude the program with his official campaign site and encourage those viewers to donate ASAP. Since it's on the weekend, he will gain a momentum of publicity going into Monday, and boom, he's "the new front runner." I'm sure he'll begin the show with talking himself up in terms of values and other irrelevant political shinola to build up compassion, luring the undecided in, and hook 'em by the end.

It just seems unlikely that he'd want thousands of his supporters tuning in just to disappoint them, so I think he's running for pres.

^^^^^Yes Indeed... Huckabee is Sleaze. He's always premeditated in his public speeches/communications.

 

[zacharyrow]

I'm about 90% sure he's running. I hope this forum doesn't go into depressed mode. We can beat Huckabee.

Huckster: "once I pull the trigger...things will get even crazier."

Mike Huckabee emailed a select group of advisers Friday evening to explain that he couldn't say what his 2012 plans are because of a "sworn obligation" to reveal it first on Fox, adding that "once I pull the trigger...things will get even crazier."

One source said the email appeared to have gone to roughly 10 people. Yet while it sparked widespread intrigue among political watchers, several sources close to Huckabee still remained unconvinced he will run again for the presidency, citing his approach to making a decision.

I get the feeling he may run because Palin and Bachmann are probably staying out at this point. They all draw from the same evangelical Christian base. It's wide open right now with none of these people in the race. The Huck need only step in and claim them.

A Golden Opportunity

And that is unfortunate because Congressman Paul could easily win the evangelical base of the GOP, if he was wise enough to "play the game." Instead, he may give it over to Huckabee, which makes my task, as a Ron Paul Christian, harder in convincing other Christians to support him (especially nowadays).

 

[schiffheadbaby]

IS HE ALLOWED TO DO THIS?

TO GET FREE AIR TIME ON FOX AND ANNOUNCE THERE?

I thought that would be a major infraction. Huckabud won't do much outside of the south

 

[LatinsforPaul]

If Huckabee is out, is it safe to say that Iowa is Dr. Paul's to lose. In essence, Ron Paul should be the favorite to win in Iowa.

I think it's about time to accept that we're going to lose this election. It'll be another educational campaign. Not that that's a bad thing... but our country doesn't have much time left. In the mean time, Rand Paul NEEDS to to win over those Christian Conservatives in the South. No more fooling around...

Ron wouldn't be getting attacked so heavily if he didn't have a chance to win.

In a recent post on the Constitution Party Facebook Group that I'm in, a fellow Christian Constitutionalist had this to say about Congressman Paul:

I am not against voting Republican; however, I would not vote for Ron Paul if he was the only candidate in the race. You can support the constitution without being or appearing loony.

I hope more sentiments like that don't increase with other Christian voters, as the race goes on.
