GodTube presidential poll

Guess who's winning? Huckabee of course, is there any Christian candidate? Though, Obama and Thompson are tied for second :-) Ron Paul only has 6.5%, I guess the Paulians haven't discovered it yet.

Despite their poor showing...

The MSM have decided to stay in the presidential race for the long hail :-)

McCain beat Ron Paul among anti-war Republicans?

Unbelievable and funny, too!

Huckabee's new Michigan ad

Back to populism again:


I notice that he didn't mention that he raised taxes as well and that he left the state with a surplus (which means the tax payers were over taxed).

Allahpundit thinks it's an implied negative ad against Romney (he's the guy who would lay them off, Huckabee is just a poor schlub just like them).

Something's weird about the Wyoming Caucus

But I can't figure it out. Here's the story and here's the discussion at Free Republic. Maybe you can figure out how their caucus works and why Romney won.

Move by Michigan Democrats to vote for Huckabee in Republican primary

There's a push by the Democrats, who are limited to Hillary, Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel in their primary, to mess with the Republican nomination by voting for Huckabee. This is the same group of Democrats who voted for McCain to upset Gov. Engler who was a Bush supporter:

Lemmons said Tuesday that the push for Republican Mike Huckabee was prompted by the dearth of choices on the Democratic side of the Jan. 15 primary ballot. Lemmons said he himself supports Barack Obama, who chose not to run in Michigan.

And he said Democrats supporting candidates other than those on the Michigan ballot can vote uncommitted. But he likes the idea of recapturing the spirit of 2000, when DOG was formed to torment former Gov. Engler, a staunch backer of George W. Bush.

Huckabee got the nod this time because "the Republican establishment supports Romney and McCain," Lemmons said.
And here's something weird, about 15% of Republicans requested a Democrat absentee ballot:
Grebner said it seems some known Republican voters -- perhaps 15% -- plan to vote Democratic, based on a sampling of 120,000 requests for absentee ballots (out of 220,000) around the state.
Do they intend to bump up Kucinich or embarrass Hillary with a noncommitted vote?

The Total Write-ins beat Thompson

NH was not happy he dissed their state!

Video: Bill Clinton crying

I'm buying his crying more than her crying :-)

So, I guess everyone can drop their change theme now?

You couldn't have more of a status quo vote than McCain and Clinton.

Clinton wins!!!!

According to AP. So much for Obamania!

Maybe Obama should cry :-)

McCain wins

What the heck is wrong with these people? They love McCain for some weird reason. I guess they didn't really care about illegal immigration either.

And it's looking like it wasn't an Obama blowout (hehehehe). Yeah! So, he isn't our political savior after all?

Record turnout in NH

But it's not all Obamania(sorry lefties!)

Secretary of State William Gardner has predicted 260,000 Granite Staters will vote in the Democratic primary and 240,000 will vote in the Republican primary. He predicted that 150,000 undeclared voters will cast votes - 90,000 in the Democratic primary and 60,000 in the Republican primary.
I'm feeling a little bit better now and thinking about canceling my plans for a bunker :-)

The Democrats ran out of ballots

Obamania! So, tell me how we win in November against this? From Drudge:

Secretary of State is making runs to Seacoast – Hampton, Portsmouth – and Southern Hillsborough – Pelham, Nashua – to bring extra democratic ballots. Many towns are reporting shortages... Developing...

The Blogging Caesar predicts a McCain, Obama win

Though he has it pretty close between McCain and Romney.

Huckabee proposes a constitutional amendment to end birthright citizenship?

It looks like it according to his "top immigration surrogate"

Mike Huckabee wants to amend the Constitution to prevent children born in the U.S. to illegal aliens from automatically becoming American citizens, according to his top immigration surrogate — a radical step no other major presidential candidate has embraced.

Mr. Huckabee, who won last week's Republican Iowa caucuses, promised Minuteman Project founder James Gilchrist that he would force a test case to the Supreme Court to challenge birthright citizenship, and would push Congress to pass a 28th Amendment to the Constitution to remove any doubt.

[...]

Mr. Huckabee has defended his policies on illegal aliens while he was Arkansas governor. He pressed for illegal aliens to gain college tuition benefits, complained about federal immigration raids in his state and declined to have state police enforce immigration laws, although the state legislature gave him the authority to do so.

Mr. Huckabee now has adopted one of the strictest immigration platforms of any campaign. He has proposed a policy requiring all illegal aliens to return home and apply for immigration through legal channels.

[...]

Members of Congress have never tried to change birthright citizenship by law.
Is anyone going to ask him how he plans to make this happen when he won't have the support of Congress. In fact, he doesn't have the support of the Congress on any of the 4 amendments he's proposing:
1. the Fair Tax requires a constitutional amendment to eliminate the Sixteenth Amendment;
2. a Human Life amendment;
3. an amendment to define marriage;
and now 4. an amendment to end birthright citizenship.
But it doesn't really matter, does it? It's the thought that counts. He's getting credit for supporting the admendments even though they will all be dropped after the election because there's no way Congress will touch any of them.

BTW, I don't have to tell you that this is a pretty significant flip-flop:
Heading into South Carolina, where illegal immigration appears to be the biggest issue among Republicans, Huckabee is going to support a constitutional amendment prohibiting birthright citizenship? Did I not hear him in several debates, including on Sunday, admonishing those of us who've long opposed birthright citizenship, about God's children coming out of the shadows? Is this not the same man who only a few months ago supported McCain-Kennedy?
I guess Huckabee has become the new agent of change in this election, huh?

Update: Huckabee state's that he is not for a constitutional amendment:
Gov. Mike Huckabee has issued the following comment in response to a Washington Times article reporting he would amend the Constitution in connection to children born in the U.S. to illegal aliens:

"I do not support an amendment to the constitution that would prevent children born in the U.S. to illegal aliens from automatically becoming American citizens. I have no intention of supporting a constitutional amendment to deny birthright citizenship."
So, he only supports three amendments, not four.

Obama wins big in Dixville Notch and Hart

She didn't even get any votes in Dixville Notch:

In Hart's Location, Obama received 9 votes, Hillary Rodham Clinton 3 and John Edwards 1. On the Republican side, McCain received 6 votes, Mike Huckabee 5, Ron Paul 4 and Mitt Romney 1.

In Dixville Notch, Obama got 7 votes, Edwards 2 and Bill Richardson 1. Among Republicans, McCain got 4 votes, Romney 2 and Rudy Giuliani 1.

Bill Clinton to Ron Paul Supporters: "You're Nuts!"

Good for Bill Clinton letting these people know they aren't playing with a full deck.

"You wanna know what I think?” Clinton said. “You guys who think 9/11 was an inside job are crazy as hell. My wife was the senator from New York when that happened. I was down at Ground Zero. I saw the victims' families. You're nuts."

The look of love is in your eye...

You might not want to view the video while eating, you might get sick.

"Is she scheduled to emote again at this event?"

Hehe!

Fred Thompson on The O’Reilly Factor Tonight

Evidently, Thompson hasn't been on yet and O'Reilly is a little cranky about it and kind of beat up Thompson's wife on his radio show trying to badger her into making Thompson do the show. I guess it worked.
