It is one of the best speechs that I have ever heard including when Ronald Reagan would bring tears to my patriotic eyes. When I listened to Governor Huckabee give the speech, I immediately changed candidates and will support him to my death. This has lots to do with me being a veteran and understanding that we can only make our country a better place to live if we all come together and once agin become a strong nation that is respected throughout the world and not one with a “happy trigger”.

He’s at 4.3% in the running RCP average. He was up to 4.7% a couple weeks ago.

Also, a poll released Friday out of California had him at a mere 3%.

Indication that his Anti-War positions are starting to wane. When things were going bad in Baghdad in early Summer, his views might have found some friendly ears, even among Republicans. But now that the Surge is proving to be a stunning success, people are tuning out to him.

Witness McCain’s latest rise in the polls. Pundits are saying that that’s directly related to his steadfastness on the War, even in the dark days.

And support for the War in Iraq hasn’t been higher since 2004. A poll just released Friday found that 77% of all Republicans now believe that a positive outcome will result from the War, which is up from a low or 54% early in the summer.

If Ed Rollins is giving him this advice, shows that it’s not good advice. Just when the War is becomming more popular, and the Surge is clearly showing to have worked, you start trashing it, and Bush?

Am I the only one who noticed how the media literally overnight started pushing Huckabee nonstop last month? The establishment and their corporate-controlled media can continue trying to shove him down the voters’ throats, but they will be badly embarrassed by his weak showing in the primaries. Where are all his supporters and donaters, when Ron Paul will pull in over four times Huckabee’s donations this quarter?

Democrats won’t vote for him because they’ll never vote for a candidate who’s pro-war, anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage. Fiscally conservative Republicans won’t vote for him because he’s too tax-friendly and big-government. And even all of the evangelicals won’t support him once they become more familiar with him (although Romney’s recent attacks are ratger lame). Way too risky for the GOP.

Contrast this to someone like Ron Paul, who has support from fiscally conservative Republicans tired of candidates who don’t have a history of fiscal conservatism, anti-war Democrats who realized none of their choices will actually get them out of Iraq, small-government Libertarians, Constitution Party types, Green Party types, pro-lifers AND pro-choicers… etc, etc.
