Huckabee sheds his media entourage

Great news.
Fewer man-on-beast tales to read about.

Is Chuck Norris still coming?

Good. Back to the shoe-strings budget that endeared this campaign to us in the first place. "The Little Campaign that Could." Huckabee will win the nomination.

He has great political instincts. If this is his decision, I think he can make it work for him. I like his stand on the Fair Tax and on the Economy. I like his approach to rebuilding the military the same way that Reagan did. George HW Bush did his best to undo everything Reagan had built. I like Mike Huckabee.

The conservative media are in the process of destroying the man who was their only hope to retain the White House, and America will be the loser.

Earth to Mike Huckabee, I'm not flat!!!

mike Huckabee is the best candidate.

We will vote for Mike!

It's good for him to shed the liberal media who is doing him no justice. Go Mike Huckabee. All the way to the White House. You are the man!

Mike Huckabee is my man.He has more dignity, character and more common sense than any other canidate.He's up on the issues, correct on his policies. his family and scocial values are right also. I wish I could help with ground work.

Mike Huckabee is a sham. I retired here in arkansas after my 22 years in the army.I applied for several state jobs mostly fish & game. As Gov he did not give the requred vet pref. I later went to work for thr federal gov.However I will always remeber this guys true support for us vets.

This is a good move for Huckabee. I'm so tired of hearing from Limbaugh, Hannity & the others who use AP & other national wires to attack & ridicule Mike Huckabee, instead of doing their own independent investigation - don't they have staff for that? Also, if you want to see the true heart & soul of Mike Huckabee, go to this link:

This is Mike Huckabee speaking @ "Rediscovering God in America" conference in Florida. It's geared to pastors & Mike isn't political, just articulate & genuine. Newt Gingrich will be the keynote speaker Tuesday night.

Goodbye Huckabee. In your quest to win Iowa, you ticked off quite a few people claiming you were the "Christian" candidate. Bigotry is never acceptable. The Republican party is fractured enough without having to create a wedge between groups of people. Keep playing in the band but stay out of Politics.

Yes, true bigotry is never acceptable -- including the hateful, vicious bigotry that is so prevalent against "evangelical Christians" and against this Presidential candidate who is not ashamed to acknowledge his faith. If the same attacks were made against some of the other religions, there would be a national uproar.

Mike Huckabee is intelligent and articulate; he has solid stances on several important issues; and he takes a balanced, common-sense approach where it is needed. Moreover, he is doing something that only Ronald Reagan has done in recent decades: he is building a coalition of people who are passionate about voting, passionate about making America greater, passionate about lighting a fire to the flickering hope that this nation could still rise above where it has fallen and truly be One Nation under God.

Mike Huckabee has my vote!

FairTax, Yes!
Without it, WHOA!
Not just another politico:
Hope for tax reform, I see,
Will be voting HUCKABEE!

John: How has Huckabee ever shown bigotry? You're doing exactly what the media does with Huckabee's record. They make an accusation without anything to back it up. Then Limbaugh picks it up like it's truth, repeats it and then it's written in stone. I'm glad Huckabee is dropping the press. Good riddance.

Mike Huckabee is a good guy, but listen to this; Mitt Romney got health care for everyone in his state without raising taxes, while turning a 3 billion dollar deficit into a 1 billion dollar surplus, and he gave all of his income as governor back to the tax payers. We need him in the White House

Mike Huckabee was never bigoted?

Surely you jest.

I felt the sting of his poisonous darts, he who congratulated himself for not running a negative campaign.

Not only is he a bigot, he is a hypocrite.

Romney didn't raise taxes?!? Are you kidding me?!? Visit WWW.TRUEROMNEY.COM to learn about Mitt's REAL record!

Mike Huckabee has my vote. He is by far the best Republican candidate in the field. The conservative media have exposed their true nature by dismissing Huck and going after "evangelicals", their code for back country, uneducated, stupid. I, by the way, have a professional career and a masters degree. I saw good riddance to that press. I hope Mike pulls it out.

Seeing how this thread is comprised of dyed in the wool wingnuts, I'll throw this out for discussion:

The reason Huckabee is now losing is because of his statement that he will make the Constitution subservient to his creationist 'ideas'. Even so-called conservatives couldn't swallow that one.

"If the same attacks were made against some of the other religions, there would be a national uproar."

Ther wasn't that much of an uproar when Huckabee attacked Romney's religion now, was there?

Thiose who live by the sword, will die by the sword.

Huckabees fair-tax is a economy buster. All the people just above poverty level and the middle class americans will shoulder all the taxes of this country. The rich will be soooooo happy to pay next to nothing. Then the poor and the middle class will start cutting spending so they don't go bankrupt and then no one will buy anything and we will not just have a recession but a huge depression greater than the 'great depression'. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. What a "christian". Either he is a terrible person who hates poor people or he is completely ignorante of how an economy works. I think it is the latter. He does seem nice, but nice doesn't keep the worlds #1 economy working. Vote on issues not on who is 'nice'.

Let's see if Mike pulls another "free advertising" ploy like he did in Iowa. Maybe he can put together a highly negative add on all three of the candidates that are leading in FL and pull the FL press corp together and say I was going to show this add in FL but after much mental anguish (heavy sarcasm included here) I have decided not to show the ads on TV but if I had decided to run it it would look something like this....... Mike lost all of my respect that I might have had in him at that moment.

With Thompson dropping out I am putting full support behind Mitt. He has the executive experience in both the public and private world and shows that he has the ability to fix broken things. And he is right, Washington D.C. is broken. I trust him to go in and roll up his sleaves and go to town on the ingrained insiders and show them that the American people are in charge, not those who take money and work for a few votes here and there. I think Thompson had that same internal fire in his belley but it did not show outwardly very much and it hurt his chances. I am excited to see one of them take the reigns and hope that those of you in FL will get that same excitement and go help get Mitt the nomination and eventually the Presidency.

I totally agree with Ben B. with Thompson stepping down, Republicans need to join forces for Mitt Romney. He is the only "true" conservative voice left. Huckabee is holding out for a possible vice-president position if McCain pulls out the nomination. Even in South Carolina Huckabee wouldn't go after McCain. McCain used Thompson to screw Huckabee in South Carolina. If Thompson wasn't there, Huckabee would have beat McCain. I loved Chuck Norris saying that McCain is too old- It's True!

Go MITT!!! Go MITT

McCain used Thompson in South Carolina? Doubtful. I see no partnership in this race between McCain and Thompson. Thompson was used by the GOP establishment, which is aligning behind Romney. But before they could really push Mitt, they needed the evangelicals in the fold. So, to force the evangelicals (or at least a large enough number of them) to back Mitt, they needed to get Huck out of the way. So guys like Rush Limbaugh spent days on the air talking up Thompson like he was a viable candidate, persuading just enough gullible Christians in S.C. to back Thompson instead of Huckabee. The result? Huck loses S.C. narrowly, allowing them to pronounce Huck's campaign dead, drying up his fundraising, while simultaneously claiming that McCain didn't actually win S.C. This allows them to turn the rest of the primary season into a two-man race: Mitt vs. McCain. And Mitt will win. You're analysis is misguided Brent. But your man will win.

Mike Huckabee truly understands that one man’s floor is another man’s ceiling. Mike Huckabee is nowhere near the campaign floor that he came from.

Go Huckabee, ALL THE WAY!

Huckabee is a wannabee Ron Paul. Very soon, huckabee will be out of cash and will follow Fred Thompson out of the ring. Giuliani has nothing. His own family doesn't want to stick by his side. Ron Paul is the clear and reasonable choice for President. Ron Paul is the thinking man's candidate. Romeny is the candidate that dumb people pick because that's the candidate who the media spoon feeds to them.

HUCKABEE IS A BIGOT AND I CAN AND I WILL NEVER SUPPORT A BIGOT OR BIGOTRY FOR ANY OFFICE, SPECIALLY THE PRESIDENCY OF THE USA. FOR THEIR FRUITS WE SHALL KNOW THEM. YES BY THEIR FRUITS, IN HUCKABEE CASE, THE FRUITS ARE VERY DISGUSTING. I'M NOT SURPRISE ABOUT HUCKABEE, BECAUSE EVEN SATAN BELIEVE IN GOD. WHAT MAKE HUCKABEE SO SPECIAL.
