Today Is A Big Day For The Huckabee Republican Movement!

Today is a big day for the Huckabee Republican movement. Yeah I know it is Primary day in West Virginia which is only important for the Dems…and the only question there is how wide the margin will Clinton win by?

There are two runoff elections to watch tonight. First in Mississippi-1 where Greg Davis is running for Congress. He has been endorsed by Mike Huckabee and Huck has spent time and money in the race there. A win for Davis would be the first success for HuckPAC.

Also what is occurring in this country is Huckabee’s followers are running for local public office. One of them is John Tyler Hammons, a 19 year-old who is running for Mayor in Muskogee, OK today. Best of luck! The link will send you to the Huck’s Army forum topic and how you can help him by making some phone calls for this young man.

SUPER TUESDAY – Press Release for West Virginia Triumph!!

News Release: Mike Huckabee Wins First Super Tuesday Contest

Former Arkansas Governor Wins All of West Virginia’s 18 Delegates

February 05, 2008

Little Rock, AR – Former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee decisively won the first victory of Super Tuesday 2008 by winning West Virginia’s 18 at-large delegates this afternoon.

Earlier today, Huckabee spoke at the West Virginia Republican Convention, emphasizing his positive message of family, life, and freedom which he said “triumphed in the Mountaineer State” and will continue to resonate in numerous Super Tuesday states, from Alabama to Alaska.

“Two days ago, the New York Giants pulled off the greatest upset in Super Bowl history. Today, as pundits write my political obituary, we won a key Super Tuesday victory. Time and time again, my campaign has defied conventional wisdom. We did so in Iowa, after being outspent 20:1, and we did so today by winning what I hope will be the first of many Super Tuesday victories.”

“Our campaign is testament that the American dream is alive and well,” said Huckabee. “Running for President isn’t about who spends the most money or who has the most support on Wall Street or on K Street. If that was the case, the nomination picture would look vastly different.

”This victory was a triumph of Main Street, sending a message that becoming President of the Unites States is about message not money, principles not politics, and courage not convenience. Luckily for America, in places like Iowa and West Virginia, voters lead example and do the right thing regardless of what the pundits might say,” said Huckabee.

Mike Huckabee – "West Virginia Convention Win!!"

This campaign is on the move! We just won the West Virginia Convention and claimed 18 delegates against the heavy favorite Gov. Romney. Why? Because conservatives are rallying around our campaign. New polls show us rising in Georgia, Alabama, Missouri and Tennessee as well. Voter turnout today is critical. The media is having a hard time explaining our win in West Virginia and we are loving every minute of it. In fact, one reporter wrote about our win saying: “Romney loses West Virginia!” I guess it’s hard to say “Huckabee wins” when you have been pretending this was a two man race. Lets work together and make them say “Huckabee wins” a couple of more times tonight. 1. Email or call your friends and family and make certain they vote. 2. If you live in a Super Tuesday state make certain you vote and bring your friends and family to the polls. If we continue to focus on turning out votes today we are going to do very well. With deep gratitude and BIG THANK YOU to West Virginia, Voter Guide For Undecideds Mike Huckabee 101 Where I Stand On the Issues Personal Endorsements from Supporters in Utah

SUPER TUESDAY – Momentum Breaking for Huckabee?

Is Mike working with increased Momentum? He gave the speech of his life and won West Virginia’s GOP Convention on the 2nd ballot. Not only that but the last minute polls in the South are breaking for Huck as Mike is now tied with McCain in Georgia, and leads him in Tennessee and Alabama!

THIS COULD BE A HUGE DAY FOLKS!! Looks like I’ll be right here with ya though as I can’t seem to get a ride down to the Victory Party in Atlanta. That could still change but not likely with hours to go.

Polls close here in Georgia at 7 PM.

SUPER TUESDAY – MIKE HUCKABEE WINS WEST VIRGINIA GOP CONVENTION VOTE!!

MIKE HUCKABEE WINS THE VOTE OF THE WEST VIRGINIA GOP CONVENTION ON THE 2ND BALLOT & 18 DELEGATES!!!

WEST VIRGINIA UPDATE

Here’s the results from the first round of voting at the West Virginia GOP convention.

Romney 464
Huckabee 375
McCain 176
Paul 118

No one got 50% so the lowest vote getter, Ron Paul was eliminated. They broke for lunch and will vote again in one hour.

EDIT – 2nd Round of voting has started. It is rumored (don’t have any confirmation) that McCain’s people were told to vote for Huckabee to beat Romney.

SUPER TUESDAY UPDATE – WEST VIRGINIA

Mike Huckabee just gave the speech of his life at the West Virginia GOP convention. The ovations got longer and louder like at the Values Voters Straw Poll back in October. Stay tuned. The dominoes may be about to fall. If the media has headlines about Mike Huckabee winning the vote at the convention this afternoon shockwaves will be felt around the country.

Mitt Romney was there to speak (and he did so first) and John McCain had a surrogate and didn’t much of an ovation at all.

If everyone in that room has a vote at that convention we may win by a landslide!

POLLS – Huck leads GA, OK, MO, TN, & Tied With McCain in AL

with Super Tuesday looming right after Florida Mike Huckabee sees a key to success in the many Southern States that have their primaries that day. So how do we stand?

Georgia (Rasmussen):

Mike Huckabee – 34%
John McCain – 19%
Mitt Romney – 16%
Ron Paul – 12%
Rudy Giuliani – 11%

(Note the importance of this trend. The panhandle and the Northern part of Florida are said to be more politically aligned with Georgia. If this kind of margin can be met (or even larger) in those areas on Tuesday night we might have a great shot at a good showing in Florida which would strengthen our position elsewhere in the South)

Alabama (Rasmussen):

Mike Huckabee – 27%
John McCain – 27%
Mitt Romney – 15%
Rudy Giuliani – 8%
Ron Paul – 3%

Oklahoma:

Mike Huckabee – 30%
John McCain – 25%
Mitt Romney – 13%

Missouri (Rasmussen):

Mike Huckabee – 27%
John McCain – 26%
Mitt Romney – 18%
Rudy Giuliani – 7%
Ron Paul – 5%

Tennessee (Taken before Fred Dropped Out):

Fred Thompson – 25%
Mike Huckabee – 24%
John McCain – 12%
Mitt Romney – 7%
Rudy Giuliani/Ron Paul – 2%

Also voting on Super Tuesday in the south is Arkansas and West Virginia (convention where Mike will speak). Those are 7 states that Mike really needs to win and that we should focus on. There are a ton of delegates at stake in these. Also following that is Louisiana on Feb. 9th. In what may be a three-man race by that point sweeping the South will be important and would leave Mike in very good shape for Texas on March 4th which might be for all the marbles.

Why West Virginia is Importantt

Remember back in late August? There was a link to a story that I shared with you that there was going to be a convention in West Virginia to decide a significant amount of their GOP delegates and that each Republican candidate was going to attend and speak.

Okay so what? Well that convention will be held the morning of Super Tuesday, February 5th. Whomever wins will be nationwide headline news by Noon and will likely affect the results in other states somewhat. The field is now being whittled down. and it is possible that we may only have just a handful of candidate for them to choose from. Remember that Mike Huckabee is the most eloquent speaker of the bunch and might win over the entire room. With so few left to choose from the likelihood of that is even higher.

I’m not sure if this has even crossed the Governor’s mind but when he says we’ve got a great shot at this juncture he’s not kidding. West Virginia might lead the nation to a Super Tuesday sweep for Mike Huckabee, especially if Mike does very well in Florida!

Just take that and file it in the back of your mind folks.
