My Official Endorsement for President: Mike Huckabee

After watching the many debates over the past few months, I have come to support the one true conservative in the race, Mike Huckabee. For those of you who aren't familiar with him, as most people aren't, Huckabee is the former governor of Arkansas, and before that he served as a Baptist minister. If that doesn't suit you, he also plays bass guitar in the band, Capitol Offense.

If you listen to this man speak once, you realize that it is impossible not to like him, even if you completely disagree with anything he says. He is known to add a little spice to the debates with his witty humor and blunt assessments of the current administration. I think that is completely what our country needs right now. He doesn't care what opinion is Republican and what issue is Democrat, he wants to bring the country together to get the United States moving in the right direction.

In the debate last night, he was the clear winner in the polls, and was a big surprise to the so-called "top-tier" candidates. The hosts of the debate tried to get him to attack some of his fellow candidates, and he simply responded, "I'm not interested in fighting these guys - I want to fight for the American people. For the first time in nine debates, I'll be more than happy to sit back and let them fight and shed each other's blood, while I run for president."


As the United States is in the middle of a budget crisis, spending much more money than it is taking in, Mike Huckabee is making the most of the money he has. While other candidates are spending tens of millions of dollars on their campaigns and television ads, Huckabee doesn't have near the bank account as the other top-tier candidates, so he has had to rely on town-to-town campaigning, and is seeing big results. In Iowa alone, where the first votes are cast to decide the Republican nominee, he is in a virtual tie for second place, with his numbers continuing to climb.

While the support for other candidates have started to level off or even decline, Huckabee's support has never stopped growing. As people learn more and more about him, the more they believe that he is the right man for the job. Last night in the focus group after the debate, one person stated, "I was a Thompson supporter before this, but Mike Huckabee won me over," and several others agreed.

It is impossible for me to describe all of his stances on the issues in the length of this post, but if you are interested in learning more, visit http://www.blogger.com/www.mikehuckabee.com for more information.
