Independents To Face Off In Debate Monday

Independent presidential candidates Steve Adams, John Bootie, Bob Hargis and Ruth B. White are set to debate tomorrow at 8:00 PM (ET) at www.blogtalkradio.com/tip.

Decision 2008: Can Huckabee win?

One of the quickly moving candidates in polls, Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has become the most seen likely darkhorse candidate. It is in my opinion Huckabee has a real shot at the Republican Nomination and the White House after Ames. His strength began a month ago when he started leading the other candidates in the 2nd tier in every poll. He started to tie Sen. McCain in polls and we declared him as the leader in deabtes among the 2nd tier. Then he amazed us all at Ames by spending only $90,000 and coming in 2nd. His message got out and he pulled an upset over his main rival Sen. Brownback. Expect polls to start swinging his way with his message you dont need all the money in the world to be president. He seems to be more down to Earth and connects more with voters like when he playe din his band at the straw polls. He connects far more with voters than the top tier. Voters like his appearence and thats what can get him elected. He can get the religous vote which seems not to be supporting the top tier. He is fighting for the social conservative vote and with his win over main rival Sam Brownback he could win theor vote as well. He has said he will surprise many in Iowa and NH. Gingrich says he is an "interesting darkhorse". He is the most likely darkhorse among the GOP. With a 3rd place finish in Iowa he could go far in NH, SC and Super Tuesday. I will conclude with keep your eyes on Huckabee he may surprise you. (Note: This isn't an endorsement)
