Yeah, I finally brought myself to take down the Mike Huckabee for President banner.
I did get the special opportunity, along with my wife Ruthie to meet Mike on the day of the Texas primary, March 4th.
I got an email from Jim Edwards, who I had been working with and Jim was really involved in the Huckabee campaign. The email said that I was invited to meet with Mike at his office with some other campaign volunteers because Mike wanted to personally thank the volunteers.
I called Ruthie and rushed over there as fast as I could. Ruthie had just arrived in Cedar Hill for work, but her boss told her to leave and go see Mike (he was a Huckabee supporter too) so she arrived right about when I did. Huck arrived, said a few words and then went around the room and spent a few moments with just about all of the 100 or so people there.
We were on the way that night to go see him again in Irving when we heard his concession speech on the radio. We went there anyways, but he had already left and we talked for a short bit with Jim Edwards before we left.
I’ll look to see Mike again on the national stage.
Long after most pundits and others have written off Mike Huckabee’s campaign for President, the man still holds solidly in the race.
The odds are very long that Huck is going to be the nominee. the press, McCain’s campaign and the party has done a great job of trying to make it seem like the race is over and McCain is already the nominee.
Guess what? Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul are still in this race and it is not over till the fat lady sings, or someone gets 1191 delegates. That has not happened.
Who knows what could happen in the period between now and that happening. I’m not giving up on Huckabee and Huckabee is not giving up either.
He’s on the way to Texas and Ruthie, Jon and I plan on going Wed. night to Collin County Community College at 7:30pm to hear Huckabee speak.
This race is not over yet. Look at the math and conclude that it’s over. History is full of cocky people saying they have won when they really did not. Look at this past Super Bowl. Look at the election in Venezuela where that idiot Chavez tried to have himself declared dictator.
Just wait.

Wow, he really won the Iowa caucus.
That was great, now New Hampshire might not be so easy. I do applaud his decision to not air the negative ads against Mitt Romney. It would have been a mistake.
He was great on Jay Leno the night before too.
Jay was real nice and Mike came across as very reasonable and got to talk about his policies at length.
He was also competing with Hillary Clinton, who was on the David Letterman show the same night.
