Six Reasons Huck can win-despite the Florida Primaries

Jump to Comments

First and foremost, the Huck supporter must understand, that even though you may have poured your heart and soul into a state as a volunteer, from the birds eye view of the overall effect, it’s just 57 delegates from a state no one expected Huckabee to compete in.

Florida was only a “win or go home” if you have done nothing else across the country (like Rudy).. but Huck is not only in this race, he has a ton of states he should take! Sure, no one likes a “loss”, but this is a long race and there are so many more factors that go into determining the winner. Miami is not Georgia. Tampa is not Arkansas. Orlando is not Tennessee, and Key West definitely is not Oklahoma!

NOW, the top 6 reasons why Huck can win (and why supporters should continue to work hard and run to Super Tuesday):

Reason 1: Huck will win the South and Mid-America vote

Anytime a candidate loses a state, they will get accused of spinning a loss into something positive. However, we must look at the facts as we see them today. Real Clear Politics and others have Huckabee ahead or in a battle for 1st in Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, Oklahoma, Missouri, Texas and North Carolina! (Click on the map at the top of the post to see a sample of what the US could look like after Super Tuesday.)

All you will hear from the media is that Huck can win in the “Christian packed states”, but in a “real state” like Florida, he comes in 4th. If coming in 4th in a state means it’s over.. then why didn’t Romney quit after SC? Romney is a candidate who can’t win EVEN ONE SOUTHERN OR HEARTLAND STATE! Yet he’s in the “one on one battle for front runner status” with McCain.

The media is actually trying to tell us that the Southern states and the Middle America states, like Nebraska and Iowa, mean nothing! That they are a bunch of rednecks and born-again Christians – second rate citizens who don’t have the high-class intellect like the people in New York and California to chose our next President. The fact that Huckabee could walk away with WINS in Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Mississippi, Missouri, Kansas, and Texas and compete in W Virginia, Ohio, Montana, Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, Minnesota, and Maine, makes it IDIOTIC to count him out!

And with the news today that 31 Missouri legislators decided to back Huckabee, that gives him a very important edge in the tightly contested winner-take-all state of Missouri. Winning Missouri will go a long way to helping Huck have a strong showing in the Super Tuesday delegate count. With 58 delegates to give, Huckabee can not only grab a very important 58 delegates, but he keeps them out of McCain’s wrinkly hands. Needless to say, it’s a critical state for Huck.

As supporters, we must keep our collective shoulders to the grindstone and cover our ears to the profane sound of the worthless, biased media. Don’t let the media convince you a loss in FL is lights out for Huckabee! If you have been thinking that, then you have been FOOLED and you watch and read too much of the garbage the media is putting out! Wake up! All the media will focus on is Huck’s 4th place finish in FL, not even mentioning the fact that Romney did just as poorly in major Southern state South Carolina!

There is a disdain and hatred by the media and some GOP pundits for a Christian candidate, and they want nothing more than to paint the picture of Huck’s demise. They want him out of this race, they want to crush your spirit, and most of all, they want you to leave the important job of “President Pickin’” to them.

But, be of good cheer, the truth will shine through in the end! Huckabee has a chance to LEAD in delegate count coming out of Super Tuesday – thats right, I said LEAD! Please, turn off your TV’s and take the fattest Cuban cigar you can find and shove it in Rush’s mouth! In my “scratch paper” delegate figures, if Huck takes winner-take-all states of Missouri and Montana, wins the South and Heartland, and competes as the numbers show, the Feb 5 delegate count would too close to call across the board.

Of course it won’t be easy. Yes it will be a dog fight all the way to the end. Obviously, states can go every which way come election day, and delegate splitting is next to impossible to predict, but the point is, Huck will not be left on the sidelines come Super Tuesday! Even if he’s in third coming out of Feb 5th, it won’t be by some insurmountable blowout lead. There are too many states left in play still that Huck has a legitimate shot at winning. Heading into March, it will still be a 3 man race, not 2 like the media has already called!!

Reason 2: Huckabee can win some/do well in some closed states (the McCain factor)

Another thing we all keep forgetting, is people still hate McCain! In closed primary states, he could still suffer the consequences of his YEARS of back turning to the Republican Party. Early closed primary states that Huck could take are Maine and Alaska, while later primary states are Hawaii, Kentucky, Oregon, New Mexico and South Dakota.

Reason 3: Another one bites the dust!

The field is narrowing, yet again, to 3 (assuming Ron Paul stops getting college students across America to post his “Who’s Ron Paul?” signs everywhere in exchange for a six-pack of Busch and a Michael Moore Fahrenheit 9/11 conspiracy DVD. OK Ron, your point has been made, Bush caused 9/11, went to war for fun, the government is out to get us all, and Elvis was the 2nd gunman on the grassy knoll… now will you go away?) Huckabee should get more face time in the debates to really distinguish himself from McCain and the Rominator. They can’t run from their records forever. Check out my previous post and listen to the Rominator talk for FIVE MINUTES in a passionate defense of a womans right to choose! Let’s face it, debates and public speaking are Huck’s strong points. The more America gets to know him, the more they will realize that he is the true conservative in this race, and the better he’ll do in the polls.

Reason 4: Border states might not have forgotten McCain’s horrible record on immigration.

I’m not saying that Arizona will vote against one of their own, but the effects in Texas, California and New Mexico could be, and are already being felt. He is still hanging on to his stance of $5000 bucks, speak english and you’re in amigo!

Reason 5: The Romney/ McCain split factor

They are fighting like cats and dogs for the the Blue states!

The states that aren’t expected to be Huck’s strengths are probably going to be somewhat equally split between McCain and Romney. They will battle it out for the Blue New England states, some Western states and others scattered about. The idea that a candidate must carry all the different regions is thrown out the window in this race. This will come down to a few key wins and delegates, delegates, delegates. With McCain and Romney splitting votes, it can only help Huckabee across the board.

Reason 6: You!

The grassroots supporters of Huckabee. You are a huge difference maker. Your enthusiasm and willingness to volunteer for a good cause has a ripple effect across America! Your efforts will not go unrewarded! Your sacrifices are not wasted! Your hard work will pay off -IF you keep the faith until the end!

So lets run to Feb 5th and get Huck the delegates he needs to win this nomination!
