Romney Exits with Barn Burner Speech
7 February 2008
Speaking to CPAC today, Mitt Romney announced his withdrawal from race for the Republican presidential nomination. In the process he gave an outstanding speech. He talked about what makes America great. He said that dependency is the enemy of freedom and initiative. He talked about how Bill Clinton depleted our military and how now we need to build the military up through increased military spending. Romney did not endorse any candidate during his speech. He referenced and agree with John McCain’s commitment to do what ever it takes in Iraq.
Pundits have said for a couple of weeks that this is a two man race and now it is. But it’s isn’t the two the pundits thought. Now it’s down to McCain and Huckabee, who has said he’s in until there’s a nominee. For the first time I see Huckabee as more than a long shot. Until now I thought he had a chance but it was an outside chance at best. Today, I think his chances have improved dramatically and he has a real, solid chance to get the Republican nomination!
Brit Hume said that this now hands the nomination to John McCain. He said that Huckabee has no chance. But Hume and others have consistently under estimated Mike Huckabee! They’ve missed on virtually every prediction when it comes to Huckabee and yet they persist in downplaying his viability. It’s time to show them what is possible.
It is time really get serious about Huckabee. If you’ve held back because you didn’t think he could win, now is the time to step up and do everything you can to get him elected. Donate to his campaign. Call everyone you know in states yet to hold primaries and tell them you support Mike Huckabee.
