Huckabee won the values Voter debate by 63%

[Daveforliberty]

Huckabee is smooth as a ... preacher. He speaks to emotion rather than to intellect. The pastoral cadence is something everyone in the room is used to.

Having said that, the margin of his victory is so large (he "picked up 100 votes") that it seems like a setup.

Of the people who lost votes, he lost the least, didn't he?

Yes. The no shows lost the most. Romney got ZERO votes.

This poll is messed up.

Huckabee gained 100 supporters of the other candidates in 3 hours?

Only around 300 votes cast? They just said 2000 were in attendance.

This poll was rigged in some way.

As you heard, these people were hoping for something like this to happen. That crazy baptist lady was saying how she had been praying for it.

They simply asked people to switch their votes to make it look like huckabee won the debate. Evangelicals/Pentecostals do this kind of thing all the time to prove miracles, like with the fake faith healing, etc.

Those 9 who switched from RP supported Huckabee all along.

Paul lost 9 votes from before the debate to after. It wasn't good for him to be there.

These were selected voters. Don't imagine what people said during the debate had anything to do with the conclusion.

It was not bad for Ron to be there, he wasn't talking to just the hand-selected voters.

 

[Starks]

Maybe those 10 voters dropped dead upon hearing Alan Keyes.

 

[Cam]

Paul second in territory that was not favorable to his message. The questions sounded like they wanted to use the Federal Government to legislate their moral values.

Where will the Value Voters go when/if Huckabee drops out of the race?

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

he lost 9 votes? I thought it said he gained 9

This debate a joke. I mean it is suppose to be for Christians, but they have a Rabbi asking questions. Apostasy.

They say that they were looking for the candidate to get behind- from out of their debate. They said, God was going to reveal who it was to them. They said, they represent 36% of the voting block and can have a huge impact in the primaries.

They bought the line that Huckabee said it was his faith in God that got him into politics. That won it for Huckabee.

Frightening evening over all.

i'm getting all of this from their post debate discussion.

If thats indicitaive of southern bible belt crowd...we may have a better shot as third party...damn fools

This debate a joke. I mean it is suppose to be for Christians, but they have a Rabbi asking questions. Apostasy.

and a rabbi who HATES Muslims as evidence by his first question....and did u get a load of that broad whining about how we dont support Israel enough??? ROFL!!!

 

[krott5333]

What the hell is this crap, a damn Mike Huckabee humping session?

what a joke!

its hard to take this thing seriously, i think i'll go to bed now

 

[Matt Collins]

The post game show had this older lady on.. she was talking about values and the guy asked him about her feeling of Ron Paul. I was ready for her to rip into Ron Paul (for saying no to legislation against porn, etc), but surprisingly she explained the Libertarian philosophy and said that she though RP was genuine and has a lot of good ideas.

Can you imagine what the MSM would have done to RP?

Was that lady named Phillys from the Eagle Forum?

 

[literatim]

On the after debate talk, they are asking the Rabbi about Jesus! The nerve!

 

[Patrick Henry]

Was that lady named Phillys from the Eagle Forum?

yes

 

[EvilEngineer]

Doesn't matter much, Huckabee doesn't have that much money to continue his campaign. He is praying his recent popularity will help him limp by till January.

Ron Paul comes in 2nd in Values Voters Debate 9-17-07

Ron Paul takes 2nd place in Values Voters Debate Strawpoll

The only sad part is Huckabee takes first place by large margin!

Cannot understand other than he has his ministry church going for him.

At one point I think it was him who had extra time and joking asked the ushers to come forward to collect an offering from the crowd!

The guy after the debate was comparing Iraq to his children saying Christianity isnt all about peace and love and we need to discipline. Hinting that we need to discipline the iraqis.

I'm glad im atheist i couldn't listen to these hypocrites everyday.

 

[Mastiff]

I'd really like a big table of all the speed-round questions and how everyone answered. I loved that when Paul was the only one with principle not caving to the crowd and the obvious answer. If we could put that up somewhere it would be awesome advertising for more moderate people.
