I WANTED TO HUG THE PRESIDENT TODAY DURING HIS NEW CONFERENCE.
Q Mr. President, thank you. I want to bring you back to Senator Obama's comment on Iraq. Do you believe that his comment was naive?
THE PRESIDENT: I believe Senator Obama better stay focused on his campaign with Senator Clinton, neither of whom has secured their party's nominee yet -- nomination yet. And my party's nomination hasn't been decided yet either. And so there will be ample time to discuss whoever their candidate -- the positions of whoever their candidate is.
God Bless George W Bush!

AIR TRAFFIC
On the way to work yesterday I was playing a worship CD quite loud and yowling along with it. I felt like my loud YAAAAAAA –UUUUH- AAAHHH- EEYY was somehow connecting to Heaven and I could fly away. Just then I looked into the sky and saw an airplane descending slowly in the distance. It connected in my spirit as a picture of Mike Huckabee’s campaign.
The plane will land safely at it’s destination because it is being carefully guided and watched over by the control tower on the ground. In my spirit I felt like it was a visual message that the hand of God was guiding Mike Huckabee’s road to the White House as skillfully and deliberately as the air traffic controllers were watching over that airplane.
At that moment, it seemed inconsequential that McCain has not accepted the debate challenge. It didn’t matter either that John Hagee made the nonsense decision to endorse John McCain.
I believe our prayers are orchestrated by Holy Spirit and God is using them as He guides this “plane” to it’s destination at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Like the air traffice controllers look at their instruments to decide what to tell the pilot, we look at Holy Spirit and speak what He gives us. We pray it and the PILOT responds.

SPECIFIC PRAYERS AND COINCIDENCES
Some might say it's just a coincidence that what you prayed would happen did happen.
Oh well, we have a Southern saying for them: "Bless their heart" . You might or might not know what that really means. Anyway-
When I pray, I almost always ask Holy Spirit to give me the right prayers. That way, I'll have full faith released. I find that He is very eager to answer that prayer and that He is usually very specific. Rarely will He give a general "thy will be done" prayer. If I don't know for sure what His will is, then my number one objective is to find THAT out so I can pray BELIEVING.
So they other day, I was praying along those lines. Soon after I heard myself praying that
Mike Huckabee and the news media would begin talking about a brokered convention.
Coincidence: A half hour later, I saw Mike on CNN discussing a brokered convention. I continue to pray for more discussion about brokered conventions.
Yesterday, after again asking how to pray, I found myself discussing with God that John McCain advisors might discourage him from debating with Mike but I asked that John would agree to debate him. "
Coincidence: Yesterday, Mike sent a nice letter to John, asking him for a debate. This morning, it is reported that John said he's agreeable.
We keep praying for quick scheduling ,the right time, venue and network.
Look at our short history of praying for Mike Huckabee's campaign. Mom and I began last summer. We prayed for weeks asking for God to show us His choice . We confessed that we are not smart enough as a people to choose We only want the one who God chooses. He alone is capable of picking a leader of the most influential nation on earth. It's not a baseball game where the outcome does not matter.
After weeks of that prayer, Mom said " I was talking to God and asked Him if he was ever going to show us who He wants to be our next President. Then I saw Mike Huckabee's face. I have never experienced anything like it. I saw his face as clear as I'm seeing yours right now."
At the time I thought "Mike Huckabee?! What a funny name! His name alone would hinder him. But hey, He's the one. We'll start praying for Him."
Now just because it's God's will, it doesn't automatically "poof" into being. If that were the case, all people would be saved, healed and madly in love with Jesus. We are to be co-laborers with Him through our life. He commanded us to take dominion on earth.
What we pray, believing, is what we get. We reap if we don't faint. ..
... if we don't faint.
..............If we don't faint.
One of my first specific prayers was for Sam Brownback to withdraw. Most of the praying young ones from "The Call" and IHOP (1)were convinced he was the man and their prayers were for him. Since God revealed His choice to be Mike, we felt that praying people needed to get on the same page.
Coincidence: Sam quit. OK - maybe we didn't pray all the way - that he'd endorse Mike. oops..But now the majority of the Call and the Cause see Mike as the one to pray for.
After South Carolina, we prayed for Fred Thompson to go .
Coincidence: Fred Thompson quit.
We prayed for Rudy to quite.
Coincidence : He quit.
I started praying Mitt would quit. I say I,not we, because I couldn't find anyone who would believed that with me...well,
Coincidence: Mitt quit.
There are many things we've labored in prayer over, and they didn't happen. I looked back and saw that I wasn't really surprised at the results. It's a war and we don't win every battle. But lay down? NO WAY!
Today on my heart to pray are these for Mike Huckabee:

- -Arrangements to be settled for their debate to be done right away, during prime time by the weekend.
- -Great weather for Ohio and Texas as they travel and folks waive signs and vote.
- -Delegates, delegates, delegates for Mike Huckabee at the convention( have you applied to be a delegate at the convention? Check with your state GOP on how)

LIES THAT HINDER FAITH and BOILING WATER
Every now and then, I feel like my prayers aren't being heard. After all the Bible
does say if I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me, right?
Well, the truth is that I am constantly presenting all of my thoughts and actions
to the Lord and asking for conviction of anything that bothers Him.
A young prophetess said to me once that I am the garden of the Lord and I have been
trying to do my own weeding. He'd like to tend His own garden. It gave me the rest
that I needed. I needed to remember that today.
The accuser of the brethren circles back around from time to time and accuses me to myself. It's his attempt to get me believing that I'm not clean enough to pray effectively.
HA! He's so busted!
He is indeed threatened by our prayers which is itself an encouragement that they are working.
RW Schambauch once said that water boils at 212 degrees. Don't take the water off the stove at 200 degrees thinking it will never boil.
it's the same with prayer....
Specifically today I'm praying for the news media to make a big deal topic of the possibility of a brokered Republican convention and who it's worked for in the past.

The deal with McCain
Welllll- that's very interesting I thought as I watched the media handle the NY Times story about McCain and the blonde lobbyist. The paper media is being criticized by the talking media. They are all too childish.
I think the best thing to do is avoid getting happy over our opponents trouble and pray for the guy. I pray that if he's truly innocent, that this will go away quickly. If he's guilty or if this is some kind of sowing what he reaped by leaving his disabled wife for Cindy, then it will be handled in a way that simply serves God's purposes.
I just can't get away from how many times he and Cindy use the phrase " I'm proud..." when they talk. Pride comes before a fall, you know.
Be careful when you think you stand, lest you fall.
And regardless of which, I pray God will give Mike total victory in Tx and Oh. I honor Mike's wisdom to stay out of it.
I've been saying that McCain must realize that he doesn't have what's needed to win against the democrats and he'll realize that Mike does and will turn and support Mike. If you think what a childish dingbat thing to expect, well, -----I don't care.
Just watch. I have a "feeling" it's about to get real interesting. My task for the weekend is to lock in and hear God. He'll probably have to correct me on my smartipantz attitude , which I welcome.

AGAIN - DO NOT ABORT HUCKABEE'S ELECTION!
I thought's I'd rep-post the last part of my earlier post, because this part is truly the now word.
Well, last night at the House of Prayer here in town, I asked Jesus to meet with me and tell me about the significance of this election. If one looks at the grand picture of probability, you'd think Barack Obama is the next President.
Jesus said this to me :“Make no mistake. This election is about the blood of innocence that covers this land and is in my ears.
I have chosen a one who, if elected, will, within one year change the abortion practices in the land and will close doors of destruction that have been opened by it.
The others, if elected, .... and he paused. I saw the nation as dry land being overblown by strong winds.
I saw that things which had been covered by grace and mercy would be uncovered and doors of destruction would open.
And he continued “ will cause winds to blow over the land and it will open the nation to the very things I long to protect you from.
Make no mistake in understanding.
One way or the other, through blessing or through spiritual poverty, I WILL use this next President.
I have heard cries for this election.
And will not be short of hand.
You now need to carry it to full term.
Do not be tempted to abort this election.
Carry it to full term."
It's not over.
God has heard us asking for Him to place our next President.
He needs us to co-labor with Him in our prayers and faith for the miraculous.
What a wonderful demonstration of His glory for the most unlikely candidate to become our President.
Do not abort !
Read Ephesians 6

RUNNING UP A SAND DUNE
Have you ever ran up a sand dune? It seems like the sand keeps coming and you are getting nowhere! You know you must get to the top and stopping is not an option. You just keep looking at the ground every step, glancing up from time to time.
That's what this primary season feels like lately to those of us who's heart breaks everytime Mike Huckabee does not win a state primary.
LAst weekend , Mom was feeling quit apathetic, cranky, discouraged, tired and annoyed with the feeling of getting nowhere. She didn't even want to get out bed until she heard the sweet words of God in her spirit: "You know what this is, don't you? This is a spiritual attack. " He reminded her of something He'd said to her not too long ago, after another primary loss. "I haven't given up on Mike Huckabee, so don't you give up on him either."
So, she did what a good soldier does. She got up and purposed to keep pressing forward in praying for Mike Huckabee.
Sometimes we don't get to feel the effect of our prayers. That is where FAITH kicks in. We just have to know we will reap if we faint not.
Anything can still happen.
...a brokered convention
...something unexpected with McCain
This would be a good time to rent the movie "Facing the Giants", a true, yet almost unbelievable story of a losing footbal coach who encountered nothing less than repeated supernatural help as he turned to prayer over his career , financial desperation, infertility and everything else.
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. UNBELIEF IS NOT AN OPTION.

ELEPHANT PROBLEM - Grossly Obstinate Pachyderm
THIS TOP PART IS ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE PRAYING FOR THE ELECTION
The days around the South Carolina primary I felt drawn to drive to Columbia SC to pray. As I was looking online for a hotel room, I heard that sweet quiet voice of God say "just stay THERE" referring to a particular hotel. I didn't know at the time we would be in the same hotel where Sherman stayed and where Fred Thompson's team had set up headquarters.
Mom and I spent most of primary day in the hotel room praying. I wasn't mentally prepared for the level of spiritual warfare we had obviously engaged. I've gotten accustom to feeling a strong connection to God when I pray and knowing when I had what Mom's generation called "praying through". Well - this day was not like that. It was like plowing an endless field in the dark.
We went to convention center to watch the results that night and were saddened to see the tiny margin by which he lost. It was enlightening to spend time with people who worked closely with the campaign. We were told that Fred Thompson had devilishly attacked Mike's character. There is a Bible title given to the spirit he was yielding to: the accuser of the brethren. He followed Mike around the state, as though his personal mission was to harm Mike. That's about all he accomplished. ( and there we were, staying in the hotel where his people were..)
Later that night Mom said while were praying in the room she kept seeing an elephant. She didn't understand the meaning of it, but she knew it was not good.
We all know the Republican party symbol is an elephant so I said surely this is a clue that there is problem with the Republican Party. I've been praying for more understanding of this since then.
Elephants in their natural state are wonderfully virtuous - having great family values, long memories, great intelligence. But we've all seen the videos of an elephant which had been trained but suddenly went mad and trampled everything in a rage.
There's also a Dr. Seuss book which is seen as an amazing parallel to abortion. In Horton Hears a Who , an elephant named Horton hears the almost silent "yup, yup, yup" of the almost invisible Who's. Horton the elephant is a saving hero. But the elephant in our hotel room was not Horton. It was the GOP.
On the way home from South Carolina we prayed for Fred Thompson to quit.
I am convinced that Mike Huckabee would indeed be overshadowing McCain in elections and polls if this process was all on the "up and up". I'm convinced that there are a shocking number of behind the scenes shenanigans of the GOP good-ol' boys who just don't get it. They seem oblivious to the well expressed concerns Newt Gingrich made at CPAC. (You can find his awesome speech on c-span.org)
The GOP apparently ignored the popular vote in Louisiana when they gave majority delegates to McCain.
The GOP state leader short cut the count of voters in Washington and called the election before all votes weren't counted.
This elephant has gone mad and is running renegade, trampling over the voters by manipulating, spinning the media.
The GOP is pirating the nomination! It's absolutely criminal! It's everything that give politics the nasty name!
Not only do we need to pray for redemption of the GOP, we should follow through on our votes.
After going to the polls in primaries, follow up on what's done with delegates. If you can afford a 4-day trip to Minneapolis Sept. 1-4, then apply to become a delegate by going to your state Republican Party website.
God bless you today. Thanks for reading!

On the way home from South Carolina we prayed for Fred Thompson to quit.
He did so almost immediately.
So back to the elephant-
It is becoming more and more apparent that the "Grand Ole Party" has become a Grossly Obstinate Pachyderm". I suggest that it's leadership has been overcome by evil and we need to pray for them. Intercede for them. If the GOP goes the way of what is called moderate in the political world, the little "who's" will have no voice . The democratic party has long ago embraced murder of the unborn as one of their approved agenda. The Republican Party is the only side of the elected government which still gives itself to stand for life.
No wonder it is targeted to become corrupt by power, compromise and unbelief.
So as we stand for the miraculous in our nation and we contend for God to intervene and give to us Mike Huckabee as our 44th President, will you also pray for the republican party? Intercede for them as you would for a loved one is so heartbreakingly lost? I'm asking God to give the GOP leadership the wisdom to yield to His spirit or to move them on to other things and replace them ones who will yield to Him.
These next comments are not so much my redeemed side. It's just a little ranting and pinpointing things that have made it clearer to me of the "elephant problem".
Last night the Jacksonville Florida GOP Exec Committee meeting belittled Viet Nam vets against McCain who were in the room, ignored the supporters of Huckabee and Ron Paul and made it apparent that the delegates from the area are already hand picked puppets.
I am convinced that Mike Huckabee would indeed be overshadowing McCain in elections and polls if this process was all on the "up and up". I'm convinced that there are a shocking number of behind the scenes shenanigans of the GOP good-ol' boys who just don't get it.

DO NOT ABORT THE ELECTION - KEEP PRAYING
I am the offspring of an amazing Christian woman who is my prayer partner.
My Mother was drawn to Jesus at the age of 6. The only one in her family interested in church she befriended a neighboring family to take her to church. As a child she would walk with God and pray for America. When she grew up and married, God gave her a son who is now a church leader in Sarasota and a daughter, born of July 4th (me). I think my birthday is a sign of my destiny and God's recognition of Mother's devotion to America.
Shortly after becoming a 40 year old widow she went to Christ for the Nations. Instead of becoming a missionary or full time minster, God sent her home to lead my brother and I to Jesus and to teach us all that she had learned.
It's been over 20 years now that I've walked with Jesus. For the past several years Mother and I have prayed together every Monday night for America, for the President and all matters related. We have taken 7 prayer trips to D.C.
When George W Bush ran for office the first time, I assumed Mother would automatically pray for and vote for him given that the alternative Democrat would do nothing to lead us in God's ways, but she refused to take a position until she'd heard for God. So, I waited for a long time before we could pray in agreement about the election.
Her prayer was to inquire about His choice. Finally she called me to say she'd heard from God. He showed her that abortion is a stench in His nostrils and He wanted George W Bush to take office because he would take actions to turn us away from abortion.
And then we began to pray with all our hearts for him.
It wasn't a pretty election. If you recall, my home state, Florida was a messy part of that election. I felt personally responsible because a month or so before the election, Holy Spirit had asked me to drive the perimeter of Florida and pray. I thought it was a only a suggestion, so I did not. When all the hanging chad drama began, I understood that I had missed it. He sent me to pray on the states' Supreme Court steps so I obeyed. I remember many nights of intercession over that election.
My prayer partner Mother and I have seen, sensed and have been given some direction by Holy Spirit and are praying for this ongoing election. As we have given ourselves to pray, God has kindly responded.
In August '07, there were lots of Republican candidates who seemed good choices. She and I agreed that we needed to first find out God's choice for President. We prayed for weeks, asking Him who He wants to be our next President. Finally, in response to that question God showed her “as clear as can be, like nothing I've ever experienced, I saw the face of Mike Huckabee.”
As soon as we figured out who Mike Huckabee was, we focused our prayers for him and have seen several answers to our specific prayers:
He rose in the polls from 2% to the winner of Iowa.
Sam Brownback , one of the candidates who would be a draw needed prayer cover, quit the race. We prayed fom Thompson, Guilliana and Romney to quit. All have done so.
I'm now praying that McCain will realize he lacks the gifting to draw the masses and will support Huckabee. (Hey ,you have not because you ask not.)
It's been a true tug of war and God has been faithful to encourage us to continue.
Mom asked Him once, “ Have you changed your mind about Mike Huckabee?'
He said “No. I'll tell you if I do.”
Once she pondered “Lord, John McCain is not so bad. I guess I could live with that.”
God responded with a vision of “ little babies in pink and blue blankets” with instant understanding that God wants them to be born and Huckabee will take action that will make it happen.
Just before Christmas she was worshipping in church and saw Jesus standing with his hand on John McCain's shoulder. There was no one on the other side of Jesus but it seemed there should have been. She continued worshipping and a few minutes later she saw Jesus again, with Mike Huckabee on the other side and suddenly, Jesus took Mike's hand and yanked it up high, like a fight referee does for the winner of a fight. I'm holding that in my heart.
There have been many mornings when I wake up determined to just listen to Holy Spirit before I say or do anything and He has met me with details on what to pray. One morning He listed specifics in His lovely still small voice:
Speak to the mountains to come down: McCain, Gulliani and Romney ( we had already prayed for Thompson to quit – and he did.)
TAKE DOMINION OVER THE DOMINANCE THE OTHERS HAVE IN THE AIRWAVES.
Call forth delegates.
Speak life to the army for Huckabee.
On other days I'd hear a chapter and verse ( not normal for me, not a Bible scholar):
II Kings 6:16 See there are more with us than with them.
Also, Ps 139:5, Ezek 37:4 and 11 Cor 6:1 (a)
Now lately, if you've watched news at all, you know the politico's have decided that McCain is the Republican nominee. It takes 1191 delegates to become Republican nominee and he has over 800 while Mike has about 300. There no way Mike can get 1191 before the Republican Convention in September. It's slimly possible for him to keep McCain from winning the balance he needs in the upcoming primaries. That would cause the convention to be where he's picked. I for one plan to be there.
It seems like daily McCain gets another big name endorsement.
Everyday Huckabee continues to campaign with all his heart. When he loses, it's not by much.
I exhort anyway to check out mikehuckabee.com for loads of encouragement.
Well, last night at the House of Prayer here in town, I asked Jesus to meet with me and tell me about the significance of this election. If one looks at the grand picture of probability, you'd think Barack Obama is the next President.
Jesus said this to me :
“Make no mistake. This election is about the blood of innocence that covers this land and is in my ears. I have chosen a one who, if elected, will, within one year change the abortion practices in the land and will close doors of destruction that have been opened by it. The others, if elected, .... and he paused. I saw the nation as dry land being overblown by strong winds. I saw that things which had been covered by grace and mercy would be uncovered and doors of destruction would open. And he continued “ will cause winds to blow over the land and it will open the nation to the very things I long to protect you from. Make no mistake in understanding. One way or the other, through blessing or through spiritual poverty, I WILL use this next President.
I have heard cries for this election. And will not be short of hand.
You now need to carry it to full term.
Do not be tempted to abort this election.
Carry it to full term."
It's not over.
God has heard us asking for Him to place our next President.
He needs us to co-labor with Him in our prayers and faith for the miraculous.
What a wonderful demonstration of His glory for the most unlikely candidate to become our President.
Do not abort just because it looks unlikely.
My Mother was drawn to Jesus at the age of 6. The only one in her family interested in church she befriended a neighboring family to take her to church. As a child she would walk with God and pray for America. When she grew up and married, God gave her a son who is now a church leader in Sarasota and a daughter, born of July 4th (me). I think my birthday is a sign of my destiny and God's recognition of Mother's devotion to America.
Shortly after becoming a 40 year old widow she went to Christ for the Nations. Instead of becoming a missionary or full time minster, God sent her home to lead my brother and I to Jesus and to teach us all that she had learned.
It's been over 20 years now that I've walked with Jesus. For the past several years Mother and I have prayed together every Monday night for America, for the President and all matters related. We have taken 7 prayer trips to D.C.
When George W Bush ran for office the first time, I assumed Mother would automatically pray for and vote for him given that the alternative Democrat would do nothing to lead us in God's ways, but she refused to take a position until she'd heard for God. So, I waited for a long time before we could pray in agreement about the election.
Her prayer was to inquire about His choice. Finally she called me to say she'd heard from God. He showed her that abortion is a stench in His nostrils and He wanted George W Bush to take office because he would take actions to turn us away from abortion.
And then we began to pray with all our hearts for him.
It wasn't a pretty election. If you recall, my home state, Florida was a messy part of that election. I felt personally responsible because a month or so before the election, Holy Spirit had asked me to drive the perimeter of Florida and pray. I thought it was a only a suggestion, so I did not. When all the hanging chad drama began, I understood that I had missed it. He sent me to pray on the states' Supreme Court steps so I obeyed. I remember many nights of intercession over that election.
My prayer partner Mother and I have seen, sensed and have been given some direction by Holy Spirit and are praying for this ongoing election. As we have given ourselves to pray, God has kindly responded.
In August '07, there were lots of Republican candidates who seemed good choices. She and I agreed that we needed to first find out God's choice for President. We prayed for weeks, asking Him who He wants to be our next President. Finally, in response to that question God showed her “as clear as can be, like nothing I've ever experienced, I saw the face of Mike Huckabee.”
As soon as we figured out who Mike Huckabee was, we focused our prayers for him and have seen several answers to our specific prayers:
He rose in the polls from 2% to the winner of Iowa.
Sam Brownback , one of the candidates who would be a draw needed prayer cover, quit the race. We prayed fom Thompson, Guilliana and Romney to quit. All have done so.
I'm now praying that McCain will realize he lacks the gifting to draw the masses and will support Huckabee. (Hey ,you have not because you ask not.)
It's been a true tug of war and God has been faithful to encourage us to continue.
Mom asked Him once, “ Have you changed your mind about Mike Huckabee?'
He said “No. I'll tell you if I do.”
Once she pondered “Lord, John McCain is not so bad. I guess I could live with that.”
God responded with a vision of “ little babies in pink and blue blankets” with instant understanding that God wants them to be born and Huckabee will take action that will make it happen.
Just before Christmas she was worshipping in church and saw Jesus standing with his hand on John McCain's shoulder. There was no one on the other side of Jesus but it seemed there should have been. She continued worshipping and a few minutes later she saw Jesus again, with Mike Huckabee on the other side and suddenly, Jesus took Mike's hand and yanked it up high, like a fight referee does for the winner of a fight.

PRAYER FOR THE ELECTION
I've been asked what I'm hearing now about the election and how to pray now. It's shaken down toMcCain and Huckabee left standing and the numbersimplying that McCain is so far ahead that it wouldtake a miracle for Huckabee to catch up.
My prayer partnet (Mom) and I are hearing this: "I've got him right where I want him. Don't give up onMike Huckabee because I haven't. "
For those who like to do math, I remind you : That isnot God's way.
But if you must - here's are some facts:
a) To win by his own delegate count prior to theconvention Mike Huckabee must win 95% of the remainingdelegates from the states yet to vote. McCain wouldneed 44% of them.
b) Duncan Hunter has endorsed him, so Duncan'sdelegates will be obliged to go for Huckabee.
c) No one's factored in the delegates that wereassigned to Fred Thompson who has endorsed no one. Also Mitt's delegates are now open, which changes themath. The other's who have dropped out now have freedelegates who will make their call at the convention.
I believe the nominee for the Republican party will be decided at the national convention Sept. 1 - 4 .
I heard one of the news talking heads on MSNBC say these words lastnight: "If Mike Huckabee is the anointed of God and the Handof God is going to be placed upon him or not, we inthe real world have to deal with the facts of thenumbers......
Well, I say
God seems to prefer impossible odds.
What about the resurrection of dead Lazarus?
What about the 5000 families who were fed with alittle boys lunch?
How about the uncircumcised Philistine who ranted onabout the inadequacy of the Israeli army until he waswacked in the head by a little boys rock?
Or the millions of Jews crammed up to the shore of the sea with iminent destruction by Pharoahs army until the sea split open with the ground patted dry?
What about the past opponents who we prayed would quit the race : Brownback, Thompson, Guiliani and finallyRomney?
What about the prayers that have been cried from our own voice for years: God , forgive our sins and the sins of our nation. Send revival. End abortion inAmerica. Give us a President chosen by you, who willhave your heart and will be good for us.
What about the prayers that many of us have prayed and had answered for our own lives - usually at the lastminute, when it looked ridiculously impossible?
That's surely why I hear "I've got him right where Iwant him."
So keep praying.
Pray some childish faith filled prayer that defies reason, like I am. ( example asking for 100% of the delegates in the next 6 states.)
With me pray, "God, we believe that you are offering Mike Huckabee to us to be our President and we are thankful. We ask that you intervene however needed so that Mike Huckabee who was the 44th Governer of Arkansas will become our 44th President."

I am starved to hear more of what Gov. Mike Huckabeehas to say. Why is he being shut out of so much newscoverage? He makes more sense on every subject thanhis competition and he's still in the race.
