The only reason Huck is still in.......
is because if Huck quits, then it will be RP vs McInsane in the remaining primaries, which means RP gets more media exposure. This will almost guarantee a brokered convention.
As long as Huck stays in it, the media can ignore RP and act like he doesn't exist.
And I would also bet Mitt only suspended his campaign incase Huck has to drop for financial reasons. Then the establishment would have Mitt jump back in to take the spotlight away from RP.
Romney was told to bow out because he had a good chance of winning the remaining primaries and they want McInsane to be the nominee.
.
But one thing that is backfiring on them is that Huck is actually winning, therefore contributing to the possibility of a brokered convention........they are getting cornered by their own strategy.
They are scared my friends......no one here gives up!!
WRONG!!!
Huck will stay in for a brokered convention. He takes away votes from McCain, which keeps him away from all the delegates he needs. This makes sure that we have a brokered convention and we can WIN!
I thought most people knew that.
Hi, I like Macs and Ron Paul.
the only reason Huck is
the only reason Huck is still in is because he knows that when Texas comes around hes gonna have his network of pastors and preachers giving orders to their robotic followers to go and vote for him like there is no tomorrow...
T.
Huck
The only reason Huckabee is still in is because we gave him our support in WV to beat Romney, that gave him his much need momentum. Now he is Welching on the agreement of giving us the 3 promised delegates. I wouldn't lift one little finger to do another agreement with that liar.
early this morning a
early this morning a "ranger" posted a video on his website explaining how huck is gonna win through a brokered conv. it was ALL the delegate stuff. but by the looks of it they have took it down.
This is exactly what I've
This is exactly what I've been telling everyone here: if we thought of it, then of course they've also thought of this. In other words, no one knows, and it's a no man's land.
In reply to RyanHickeyLiveMusic
I absolutely agree with your statement. Huck could drop out at any moment and completely screw up everything we've fought for.
Furthermore, even if we do win the nomination, that still leaves the Democrats to contend with, and they have a tremendous amount of momentum behind them, no thanks to the Neo-Cons. :b
The Momentum Would Be Ours
If Paul got the nomination. It would be such a shift in the political landscape it would dwarf any previous "surge" by either of the Dems. The entire West and South would go with Paul, as well as a lot of the North and even Midwest. A couple of NE states would go our way too. I frankly think it would be a landslide, at least in the Electoral College.

I wish I could share your enthusiasm, but I've seen an awful lot of interest for Obama in the media. He's their darling. If RP gets the nomination, they'll make Obama look like the best thing since sliced bread, and RP and the Republicans will still be kooks.
Absolutely Agree
You're right about Huckabee. Been there. Said that.

I give Huckabee more credit than this
What he's saying is correct - that it goes against everything this nation stands for to take the decision of who the nominee should be out of the hands of the people. I'm choosing to believe he stands by this. I may be wrong, but there you go.

No offense
I don't mean to insult Huckabee, but I think they all stand where they are told...except Ron Paul, and that's what scares the handlers.

I hate to say it, but I
I hate to say it, but I think the fact that Huckabee is still in it, has kept RP alive. The media will NEVER consider Ron Paul. We've said that about their being 3 candidates! "they cant ignore him then!" well guess what, they did. Not to mention, Romney dropping out made a brokered convention a difficult task.
Either Huckabee needs to be on the rise, or (of course) Ron Paul needs to start winning states. McCain is relativly close to securing the nomination. I Think if Huck dropped out, most people still dont know of Paul and would just either not vote at all, or vote for mccain.
But dont think for one second that if it were down to McCain and Paul that they wouldnt just declare McCain the winner. Especially when MSM reported that it was IMPOSSIBLE for Romney to win with his delegate count, so thats why he dropped out. They'll have an easier time bogging down Paul.
Be realistic people. At this point the only way to win this is to go to a brokered convention. Watch what you ask for because Huck dropping out could be more detrimental then helpful right now.
You are correct
But it seems that most of the folks here don't want to be realistic. Huckabee remaining in the race is Paul's only chance to stay alive to the convention. If Huck drops out, MSM election coverage goes 24/7 to Hillary vs. Obama.
I think Phuck is in it
I think Phuck is in it because he is SO egotistical that when his puppeteers tell him to get out he thinks he will be President and "rule" over THEM. He knows nothing about who these people really are, if you ask me. He is still in his role as a Governor who was able to cheat people out of money with only a slap on the wrist. He thinks he can win the Presidency. He is such a fool.
I saw Huck on MSM yesterday saying "There are only 2 of us
still standing." Meaning that Ron Paul doesn't exist. Pissed me off. He also said he's the only conservative in the race.
Go President Paul!

He Said It Wednesday Also
I also watched him say that the day after Super Tuesday. What a jerk.
You left out a "p" in front of his name. How DARE he say that?
Just how do they get away with saying this stuff? Are we reliving the days of Communist Russia and the KGB all over again?

CBS: Texas Gov. Perry Asks Huckabee To Drop Out
Campaign '08 Complete Coverage
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (CBS News) ― This is posted from CBS News' Joy Lin:
Gov. Rick Perry. R-Texas, who has endorsed John McCain, called Mike Huckabee on Friday asking him to drop out of the race, according to a senior Huckabee campaign aide. Huckabee declined Perry's request.
Huckabee had asked for Perry's support earlier in the election cycle and Perry had said he would support Huckabee if he thought he could win but decided to support Rudy Giuliani instead. When Giuliani dropped out last month, Perry switched his allegiance to McCain.
Earlier today in Washington, D.C. after delivering a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, Huckabee told reporters that staying in the race is good for the Republican Party.
"I'd like to think the Republican Party is mature enough, big enough, and smart enough that it actually knows competition brings excellence. And the lack of competiton brings mediocrity," Huckabee said.
"You know the old proverb is as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. The fact is no boxer is ever prepared to go into the ring if he's never sparred."
"If we're really serious about taking it all the way to November, we better have a candidate who's truly battle-tested. So this nonsense about how I should step aside and have a cakewalk all the way to the election, that's crazy. Unless they were all to step aside and let me have a cakewalk, then that would be a fine thing. But otherwise, I can see no value in that at all."

I don't think so.
"...which means RP gets lots of media exposure. This will almost guarantee a brokered convention.
As long as Huck stays in it, the media can ignore RP and act like he doesn't exist."
If we haven't learned yet that MSM attention is not going to win this for Ron Paul, then we're spinning our wheels. Everyone needs to realize that the TV attention Ron has gotten so far has meant almost nothing. Sure, we probnably picked up a handful of converts who learned about him from a TV appearance, but it certainly wasn't even close to enough to make a dent in the establishment stranglehold over the media and the elections.
The sooner we realize that we don't NEED the MSM to win this war, the better off we'll be. It's the grassroots networking with our neighbors that is going to make the real difference. I believe that had we been fully committed to this from day 1 we could have won this thing.
Well if it were just RP and McInsane
And RP won some primaries, MSM would have to talk about it. I still run into people all the time that have never heard of RP. Why do you think that is?....no media time.
Yes, MSM attention is not going to win it for us, but it sure can help. The only way we can win this is to own the delegates.

i was being comical, really
it's an inside joke.
you're welcome to come on in.
lol
funny
I disagree
I think if Huck dropped out, the Old Media would still ignore Paul and just act like McCain in the only one in the race. Full attention would go to the Dem race and McCain would get the defacto nomination in the press.
They might get a surprise at the convention by the Paul delegates, but from now till September it would be all McCain all the time with still no mention of Paul.
YEAH, BUT.....
that kind of strategy would perhaps put more focus on the MSM blackout.
right now, they are being "fair" by reporting on at least 2 Reps....and then 2 dems.
so...........it would be much more out in the open if Mcshame was all alone.
they are walking a very tight rope.
and my foot in their ass!!!!!
