He is the ONLY candidate left who WILL deal with the immigration issue!!!!!

He initiated and did build the border fence in his own district, reducing crime more than 90% !!!

DUNCAN HUNTER!!!!

Great, another retard from Arkansas just won

Hopefully Romney can sling shot past Huckabee in NH. Seems all people in this state care about is if the guy is "nice" or not. Give me a break...

The Democratic turnout was huge -- there were a lot of problems with parking, even with having enough space for people to stand -- but I haven't heard what the turnout was like for the Republicans. One possibility is that moderate Republicans temporarily changed to Democrat because they liked those candidates more... One possibility is that only the zealots cared enough to come out. "Nice" certainly isn't a word I associate with Huckabee. "Misogynist," definitely, "creepy," even, but not "nice."

Not sure why Huckabee has Chuck Norris on his team, that's kind of like having Michael Bolton sing your campaign theme song.

I think people in this state see Romney as a rich, slick businessman and Huckabee as the nice gentle man from the midwest, relatively speaking anyway. IMO we need a business man running the country, not some country bumpkin who sits in the corner when things get tough. But I digress...

Linn mar was packed with Republican caucus goers. We didnt get started until 7:30 because so many people had to register. There were people standing because we ran out of seats in the auditorium! It was a great turnout for both sides I think.

Huckabee is for the FAIRTAX.

Which will never happen. I'd rather support somebody with a reasonable list of goals.

When Huckabee was our Governor he didn't mix religion with our state's government. I'm one of many that see how/what our Government was first based on and believe that our nation would be at it's best if we were to find those roots again. Government is so mixed up now. All our Government/Congress needs now is white powered wigs, a wrestling ring and to be broadcast live on the BBC Channel via USA Channel.

Why Huckabee?

Because he has the most amusing name out of all the candidates.

I don't understand why my man Fred Thompson isn't stomping butt. He's the only true conservative with a chance. Huckabee, Romney and McCain have all waffled on immigration and lean more towards moderate/liberal than conservative. A Thompson/Hunter ticket would be ideal to me.
