Don’t know if this helps or hurts.
For those who are fans of Mike Huckabee for his family values and faith this will help bring people to his side. For those who don’t agree with these issues I think it will turn people away. It will be interesting to see how it works out.
I’m wondering how Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh are feeling after endorsing Mitt Romney for President. Will they side with Huckabee now?
Wait – did Eric just post a new blog entry?
I assumed he was having too much fun in Alaska to keep up with his blog ;-).
Some good stuff. Posted today:
The Voxtrot song “Brother in Conflict†came on today. The last line of the song caught my attention. Ramesh Srivastava sings — screams, really, several times: “I had to lose my idols to find my voice/ lose my idols to find my voice/ lose my idols/ to find my voice.†Appropriate for someone who channeled Morrissey in early songs.
It reminded me of the Bob Dylan song/spoken word piece “Last Thoughts of Woody Guthrie.†Dylan performed this at New York Town Hall on April 12, 1963.
It’s a eulogy, but not for Guthrie, who was still alive at this point. Dylan obvious owed a great deal of his early work to Guthrie. This was Dylan saying goodbye to that influence and moving on to something new.

The Texas Rangers have hired Hall-of-Famer Nolan Ryan to be their president. There will be a press conference to announce the move at 3pm today. But there is more to the story. … and while I’m something less than an enthusiastic Rangers fan, we’ve got our hands on that “more’’:
Larry Legend of our 75-Member Staff spearheads our digging up of some interesting and as-yet-unreleased aspects of the Nolan Ryan hire. …
1) Hicks went to Ryan out of desperation because he has been getting hammered publicly.
2) Ryan might be getting a piece of the Rangers in this deal.
3) And this is the BEST and most significant thing: Nolan Ryan will be assuming COMPLETE CONTROL of the Texas Rangers franchise, meaning he is to run BOTH the business side AND the BASEBALL side.
There’s hope yet!

As I wake up this morning my predictions were about right. Romney went on and won Colorado and Alaska which means Mike Huckabee is about 80 delegates behind him. As Huckabee pointed out though – it’s interesting to see that the southern states seemingly like Huckabee more than Romney. And as EVERYONE is pointing out, that’s where the “real conservative base is.” So I think it would be correct to say, conservatives are much more favorable of Huckabee than Romney – unless you’re Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity (and I stopped listening to them a long time ago anyways).
But now that Super Tuesday is over, what do we do now? Especially now that Texas is in play. I posed the question to a couple friends who have been involved in the Huckabee campaign at various stages.
I would go to meet-up and volunteer… they need phone callers, better web presence (youtube, myspace, blogs, etc.), letter stuffers, yard sign placers… i’ll ask mike as soon as he wakes up – i’m letting him sleep in today 😉
from another friend:
Good question. The stronger H does in Texas, the better chance he has of being on the ticket. Also, be sure to show up at the pct convention, county conv and state convention. That will be very important…
Winning isn’t the key. Keeping McCain under 50 percent is. Not just statewide… in congressional districts too. Do the texasgop.org and look at the part rules. Start about rule 32 or so. Winning congressional dists is more important than winning the entire state.
So there you have it. What are you doing? What are you going to do?
