Mike Huckabee’s Cunning
A few of our readers have wondered how many people actually visit this site that are not already in Governor Romney’s corner. Let me say first that traffic to this site has tripled in the last six weeks and it is increasing. Second, on a given day, between 20% and 40% of our visitors are referred to the site from search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc. (common search words result in a 3rd or 4th place ranking on the first page — higher than any other unofficial Romney site). These do not include the click-throughs from private emails in which “newbies” are following a private referral. So, a very high number of people new to Romney visit the site every day.
This is a brief comment left today at a post I wrote October 30, 2007 (“Mitt Romney as Christian”):
by Richard Ciara:
Romney is born in the likeness of His [Christ's] death raised to walk in newness of life is all I need to know about Mitt Romney. Huckabee whom I know personally should be ashamed of himself by thinking only his upbringing as a Southern Baptist somehow conflicts with Romney’s Mormonism. Both good men and Christians. Huckabee can not win but he could help a Christian brother out in Romney if he could get his head up and do some serious study between now and super Tuesday’s election on Romney’s Mormonism. Nobody is trying to steal converts from Mike’s church for Romney’s church here.
I believe Richard. Those who have read comments on this site in the last few weeks can attest that many wonderful non-denomination Christians and those of various denominations are ardent supporters of Governor Romney. Of all evangelical voters, Mr. Huckabee gets at most 35% of the vote in each primary (he won 4% of the non-evangelicals in Florida). In my comment back to Richard in the original post, I asked him to call Governor Huckabee and reason with him. This may be naive on my part, as I do strongly believe that Mr. Huckabee does not really have the best interest of America in mind, and for whatever unknown reason, wants John McCain to be the nominee.
Richard, since you just sent your comment today to my October post above, I presume you will see this post. Please monitor the comments of this post and use your best judgment and contact Gov. Huckabee, if you can, and reason with him. This I can tell you without hesitation: An evangelical candidate named George W. Bush received the vast majority of all Mormon votes when he ran against Gore (GWB lost the popular vote). Without their support and campaigning and votes, we would have Al Gore as President. Had the Mormons viewed an evangelical candidate for President the way many Huckabee supporters view a Mormon candidate today, both Bush I and Bush II would have struggled to become President and could easily have lost. If John McCain is ultimately nominated, it will be a direct result of Mike Huckabee’s cunning.

The mainstream media has their own ‘time table’ for withdrawal from the McCain lovefest. That will be the minute that McCain secures the Republican nomination.

I am glad you have gotten so much traffic; you all contribute great posts and in recent weeks I have made this blog a daily (if not hourly!) visit… and I’ve passed it on to others as well. Thank you and keep up the good work!!!

Just in Mitt Romney was declared the Winner of the Maine Caucuss with huge voter turn out not seen in twenty years.
Mitt Romney 53% of the Vote
John McCain took 22%
Ron Paul came in at 19%
Mike Huckabee at 5%
A Foot Note in 2000 McCain won with 44% of Vote
This a disapointing showing for Mr. Straightalk!
Congratulations Team Romney and Mitt great effort! You should of seen the expression on Susan Collins face when she walked into our local caucus in Sagdahoc County, ME and saw the room filled with 90% Romney supporters. She did not dare mention John McCains name the one she was pushing. She stated ” From the looks of this turn out a Republican will win the White House in 2008″. The look on her face was priceless. I wonder how Team McCain will spin this win the MSM. I think they should just give the credit to a great Candidate in Mitt Romney and his number one supporter in Maine. Go have a couple of laughs on you tube and watch my Mitt Romney Maine videos that take on McCain and Huckabee and Norris!

Huckabee is the spoiler in this campaign and he doesnt have a rat’s a** chance oif winning, but he can corrupt the chances for Romney with his explicit lies about Mitt. Time for him to go. A vote for Muchaphooney is a vote for McAmnesty!

Just for the record, Mitt is a member of the CFR.
He’s a puppet, just like the rest of the candidates are in this election cycle.
Fred Thompson
Rudy Giuliani
Mike Huckabee (foreign policy adviser is Richard Haas, President of the CFR)
John McCain
Hillary Clinton
Barack Obama
John Edwards
Joe Biden
Chris Dodd
Bill Richardson
All of the above are CFR members. To find out more about this elite globalist organization check out this youtube.

I can’t even describe how divisive this man is. If McCain really thinks he can unite the party by putting Huck on the ticket, he is wrong. He will still lose the 30% of republicans that went with Mitt. I don’t think they will so easily be swayed by a Huck/McCain ticket.
