I Like Mike (Huckabee)

I've waited long enough. After digging through all the issues and listening to the candidates, I have chosen my favorite (thus far) in the 2008 presidential race. I have liked Mike Huckabee from the beginning, and just today, former "long shot" Mike Huckabee, the governor of Arkansas, has passed Rudy Giuliani as the front runner for the GOP presidential ticket.

This guy is watertight on the moral issues and has a great perspective on revamping our health care and tax structure, while protecting the country that we all love. Take a look and see what you think.



Let me make one additional comment. I have found a few recent endorsements of political candidates somewhat unbelievable, like Pat Robertson's endorsement of Rudy Giuliani, calling him the best candidate to handle the War on Terror - hogwash. Robertson's move seemed to me like a spineless push to join the frontrunner's party, probably to ensure the Republicans beat the Democrats; a little ironic given the fact that Robertson's ministry has been fighting most of the moral issues that Giuliani stands for (pro-choice and pro-civil unions). Looks like he jumped on the bandwagon just as it was slowing down.

How about we vote for people, not based on their political party or their odds of winning, but on what they believe in and stand for. That's my vote. Make an informed decision.

I'm with you! I remember getting all excited about George Bush when he ran because of his faith, but I had higher hopes than how that's turned out.

This guy seems to not only have the values, but also the ability to articulate them well in a debate format.

Anyway, good post!
