5 REASONS Why Mike Huckabee Must Take this All the Way to the RNC

MD, VA & DC were always supposed to go to McCain, but nevertheless, we would have preferred to have the VA delegates & momentum in our column. While everyone is back to speculating (except for Greta - I give her alot of credit for assuming that Mike will move on to the next contest) about Mike's future, here are my

5 REASONS Why Mike Huckabee Must Take this race All the Way to the RNC:

1. Mike is authentic - and he's made a promise, and he'll stick to it. It's unAmerican to quit, and a marathon runner doesn't quit.

2. It WOULD HURT (not help) the Rep Pty to lose the competition element - heck w/only Huckabee as competition, McCain did almost nothing for the last few days except point to endorsements - the Republicans will absolutely LOSE the National Election if that's what he does for the next 7 months & the Dems (esp. Obama) gets all the press for 7 months.

3. Also, IF McCain is going to follow Rove & Newt's advice to talk to the Rep base, then the only way he's going to do it is be forced to BE ARTICULATE & inspiring about the issues now - both of which he's BAD at doing. So, Huckabee forcing him to do it a little bit more just helps THE ULTIMATE NOMINEE & THE PARTY - b/c that's what the nominee will need to do absolutely brilliantly after Labor Day.

Those are my thoughts about why Huckabee passionately pursuing the race to the RNC is important - except for 2 more:

4. MIKE NEEDS TO WIN @ THE RNC BECAUSE - if the RNC nominates McCain the Republicans will lose in a landslide to the Dems in Nov. WHY? Did you see Obama's inspired & psyched crowd tonight? Did you hear the passion & enthusiasm in his voice? THEN Did you see McCain? The man has not been worn out campaigning & has had a couple days to prepare this speech - and THAT'S what he delivers??!!!! THINK ABOUT THIS - he had the same tone of voice of Huckabee - and Huckabee was disappointed & McCain won!!?? There is NO WAY NO WAY NO WAY McCain can win v. the Dems!!!!
{flashback: Ford v. Carter 1976 = utter failure – in Nov & next 4 yrs}

5. What’s the Other Reason Mike Huckabee needs to win the RNC or else the Republicans will lose to the Dems? Here’s why: If the RNC nominates McCain (then Huckabee being an honorable man will back the nominee), then I along with most of my fellow Reps, will vote for the Republican nominee. BUT, here’s what will be missing – the passion & enthusiasm of a HUGE part of the Rep Party to Get Out the Vote! And, in the face of an inspired Obama following & fired-up Dems who will do everything possible to GOTV, the Dems will win. Want a recent example? Here it is: A few days ago, Huckabee was down about 20 points to McCain in VA. [Think of that as the Reps being down 20 points to the Dems in the Fall.] How did that margin narrow to 9 points? Because of the passion & enthusiasm of the Huckabee supporters with grassroots, with rallies, with signs, with fliers & energy to GOTV!!! McCain simply is not capable of rallying that enthusiasm & passion in the Republican and/or conservative base – and without it, the Reps will lose in Nov.

DID THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HEAR THAT? I’ll say it again & I’m sure Mike will say it in a more eloquent articulate way @ the RNC –

McCain simply is not capable of rallying that enthusiasm & passion in the Republican and/or conservative base – and without it, the Reps will lose in Nov.

MIKE, NOW YOU KNOW exactly why I believe in you going all the way to the FINISH LINE!!!!!

GO MIKE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
