i just get this sense that people are losing interest in guiliani and mccain and are really starting to embrace romney and huckabee. huckabee most of all, he has made a huge jump in the early polls and is currently close to 3rd place behind mccain romney and giuliani. if huckabee does well in iowa and new hapshire he could find himself in excellent shape as he will win most of the south outright. i believe huckabee is the best candidate of the GOP right now, and republicans need to vote this guy in the primaries.
heres a long 5 part interview huckabee had on cnn headline news http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Blogs.View&Blog_id=597

he knows hitlery the best, so i would feel he would have the advantage over any of the candidates running. he has an impeccable voting record, and i think can draw enough support to win.

i have been skeptical of all the candidates thus far on either side. I am not affiliated with any party at the moment. But after seeing some of that interview u posted, i have to say that huckabee is for real. i don't think he says things just to please people; he means everything he says and has a pure vision for america. He seems willing to put politics aside for the country and from what i put together is not power hungry. I am about 75% sure that my vote will go to huckabee now. i'll see how he does in the next few debates and if he does well, then i found my candidate. I will definitely switch my affiliation to REP. if i decide he's the guy.

no longer in simple terms did I observe that, I watched Romney smirk in any respect and distinctive. Anderson Cooper would not enable Paul communicate. Cooper gave maximum time to Romney. Huckabee and McCain held their own. i guess i can determine out who CNN is backing.

The Republican Race is wide open to at least the top 5 contenders. Huckabee is a nice guy but also a religious nut who doesn't believe in evolution! He would get trounced in a general election but might not be a bad VP candidate for Giuliani or Romney.

I believe that they are shifting away from Guiliani due to the pro life vote. He will not be able to win if he doesn't get the religious right. They are even talking third party which will just give the dems the win which I don't even want to imagine.

It's shifting to Paul and Huckabee. Forget about Romney, I think he has as much name recognition as Paul does, but with no message. Huckabee can't fundraise, probably because of his soft stance on illegals, and pro-war attitude. However Paul appeals to more than just conservatives (who often seem to be pro-war as well), and can get much more support through the grassroots.

I've supported Huckabee all along, but Guliani I think is the best chance to beat Hilary. Mitt Romney doesn't have a chance and neither does McCain.
Guliani will get democrats votes where the others will not.

huckabee raised a little over 1 million dollars in Q3 - he has $650,000 cash on hand - he isnt going anywhere with that kind of fund raising -romney is paying for his own support because nobody trusts him he is raising money from his own bank account - mccain spends his funds as fast as they come in -he cant keep this up much longer - thompsons funding is coming in drizzles after debates and looking like the walking dead - guiliani has corporate support but not as much as hillary and wont be able to out advertise her in the big game and you can be sure there will be pictures of giuliani in drag - his divorces - his failure to give fireman radios that worked and his failure to move NYC emergency HQ from the trade center like suggested before the attcks across the TV because clinton is so desperate to return to the white house - the only one really coming up is ron paul -who is against the war in Iraq and nullifies hillarys "Iraq under dem mgmnt until 2013 " -

Huckabee got my support after seeing the first debate.
Ron Paul is a Kook.

I can see Huckabee, and not Romney.

No, it is shifting to Ron Paul with the fact that he has won straw poll after straw poll and even Fox News polls.
