There are those who run for president to gain power and prestige. (John McCain) There are those who run for president to gain power and wealth. (Hillary Clinton, Mike Huckabee) There are those who run for president fueled by some fantasy to change the world and to use the power of the presidency to benefit another country dear to their heart [Africa]. (Barack Obama) There are those who run for president to spread a message of great importance to them. (Ron Paul) Then there are those who run for president out of a pure love of this country. (Mitt Romney) In Mitt Romney we have a rare candidate that desires not power, wealth, or influence; but only to restore and preserve America’s greatness for his posterity.

Meanwhile, Mike Huckabee stands in Mitt Romney’s way. “It’s come down to a two man race.” But there are still four Republican candidates remaining. Ron Paul stays in only to spread his message. He’s practically admitted as much. Mike Huckabee remains only out of spite and hatred for Mitt Romney. He and his campaign know they are diluting a portion of the conservative vote that would otherwise go to Governor Romney.

Most of the public is not going to realize that this is a sinister game that Huckabee is playing. Could he be secretly working with John McCain to hold back Mitt Romney? It seems highly possible. The evidence of this secret deal is that Mike Huckabee attacks Mitt Romney at every opportunity. When you are in a race to win a nomination and there is only ONE nominee, it makes absolute sense that you would attack and try to make ground on the leader John McCain, not the man who is trailing. Imagine a track meet where there are six men running the hundred meter dash. The first, second, and third place runners cross the finish line when the runner that is running next to last tries to trip up a runner in the lane next to him. It’s just absurd.

Anyway, people will ignorantly vote for Huckabilly not knowing that they are throwing their vote away since he has no realistic chance at victory. The evangelical demographic is not large enough to give him any more significant wins. He may win one or two more states on Super Tuesday, but nothing to give him a good number of delegates. The exit polling is showing that the stronger candidate Mitt Romney is taking a very large portion of that evangelical vote.

You Huckabee supporters might argue that if Mitt Romney got out of the race then Mike Huckabee would win more delegates. But the fact is that even if Huckabee won every state in the Bible Belt it still wouldn’t be anywhere near enough to make him the nominee.

He (Huckabee) told FOX News Saturday he’s frustrated anybody calls this a two-man race.
“Why would you call me a Romney spoiler? Why don’t you call Romney a Huckabee spoiler?” he asked. –Huckabee Says He’s ‘Going the Distance,’ Will Not Quit, February 2, 2008

The answer is obvious. Mike Huckabilly has won only in Iowa. He’s nearly broke. Contrast that with Mitt Romney who has won in Wyoming, Michigan, Nevada, and Maine. Mitt Romney has the money to go the distance. He has the money to place the ads in the remaining primary states. He is the only formidable candidate remaining to be able to compete with John McCain for the nomination.
