Another Tempered Triumph...

Mitt Romney dropped out of the race today. His poor performance on Super Tuesday, coupled with the massive amounts of money he had already poured into the campaign, led him to "suspend" his campaign (a technical difference from "end" relevant to a brokered convention), saying, essentially, that he didn't want to hurt the Republican party's chances in November by remaining in the race.

Mitt Romney and Rudy Giulani were the two main reasons that I started this blog back in early November. But their defeats are only soberly satisfying. John McCain is far from being a spectacular Christian conservative candidate. I also have doubts about his ability to beat other unsavory candidates: namely, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

That is why I continue, with renewed vigor, my efforts to nominate and elect Governor Mike Huckabee President of the United States.

Join with me!

And now... we conservatives are faced with a decision.

The talk of Pat Robertson endorsing Rudy Giuliani now means nothing (not that it ever did!)

Neither does anyone care about the wide evangelical support that Mitt Romney won over.

We now have, on the left, Senator John McCain whom Dr. James Dobson says "is not a conservative, and in fact, has gone out of his way to stick his thumb in the eyes of those who are. He has sounded at times more like a member of the other party." John McCain promotes amnesty for illegal immigrants, he called Samuel Alito "too conservative" (a good indication of the judges he would appoint), he supports embryonic stem-cell research, and he has little regard for freedom of speech.

On the right: Governor Mike Huckabee, with 10 years of experience governing, a staunch pro-life record, and a proven force for defending marriage and religious liberties. During those 10 years, he reduced welfare roles by 50%, returned $400 million to taxpayers, and was called "One of America's Best Governors" by TIME Magazine.

Governor Huckabee's platform calls for secure borders, supporting the military, and reining in the rising costs of healthcare and energy through practical, market-driven methods.

And today, there is finally justice as Dr. Dobson endorses Gov. Mike Huckabee.

Conservatives need to back Governor Mike Huckabee for the good of our nation. Or do we have Hillary or Obama fans out there?

The lack of enthusiasm for Huckabee is baffling and, frankly, a betrayal of a man who has faithfully served his country--with conservative principles guiding his every step.

Can conservatives of all stripes unite around what we're FOR, rather than what we're AGAINST? If so, our values just might be represented in the White House come '09.

If we just want to sulk on the sidelines of this political race, then forget it. Let the 4 years of disaster begin, as some commentators have put it.

Vote Huckabee! And support his campaign!

For some reason, Josh, a lot of conservatives couldn't stand Mike Huckabee, either.

Is it because they dislike fervent Christians? Or is it because they were in league with Mitt Romney?

I don't know. But, hopefully, they will rally around him now.

By the way, I didn't mean to imply that those were the only two options.
