Occasionally, I make an exception to my no politics rule on this blog for things that I feel are important enough to discuss. Today is one of those times. The more I read about the candidates for President, specifically the Republican candidates, the less I'm motivated to support verbally - let alone financially. There are somethings I like about each candidate, but I fail to see the complete picture of a conservative President in any of them - save one. That candidate is Mike Huckabee. The more I read about Mike and watch him in the debates, the more convinced I am that he has the best balance of values and experience. Add to that, he is also an excellent communicator and has very keen wit about him. His communication skills are evident in that he is a distant 8th place in total fund-raising for Republican candidates, yet he is on the verge of winning in Iowa and his numbers are improving in New Hampshire. Mike has only raised $2.3 million (as of the last FEC filing) while Romney and Guliani have raised $61.6 and $46.7 million respectively. While that may sound like a negative, I point out that he's extremely competitive in spite of his scant resources. This is a testament to his ideas and his ability to communicate. And trust me, I'm sure Fund-raising will pick up with the extra media attention he's been receiving about his surging in the polls.
But beyond being competitive, Governor Huckabee is the kind of man we can be proud of as President. His positions on the major issues of the day are clear and firm. Please take a few minutes to browse his website and decide for yourself.
