When Endorsements Count

Ever since I first heard the Huckster speak 6 months ago, I knew it was him all the way. While others were exploiting their money or name recognition, he was trudging uphill, systematically making believers of all that heard him along the way. Now that he is at the top, no mad slinging will faze him, because in him, the evangelicals, the nucleus of the GOP, have found their long sought after candidate. The dems are still looking.

Clearly Giuliani is done, at least with the evangelicals, the core voting group of the GOP. He has blown all the chances they have given him to get on the right side of the fence.

While Mitt has his own demons to fight, persistently hiring undocumented workers, or flip flopping on “core issues” such as abortion, he too faces the wrath of the evangelicals who view Mormonism as a cult. Whereas he has spent millions of his dollars to sway their vote in his favor, he too has wasted numerous opportunities to redeem himself and convert to the faith of his party. Religion has played and will continue to play a dominant role in the GOP.

McCain will make an excellent running mate, on account that his initial and persistent support for troop surge coupled with his unsuccessful immigration bill dealt his campaign an irreparable blow. Although the polls show that he has vehemently fought back, he has run out of time.

Ron Paul will ultimately run as an independent. Hopefully he will not draw too much of the Republican vote to tip the scales to an Obama-Biden victory.

As Huckabee justly gets much needed airtime from the media that had written him off as a tier 3 candidate, he reaches all the corners of the nation and scandal only propels him further, just like the other famous son of Hope, Arkansas. The Huckster is on a roll and will firmly secure the Oval Office for the GOP if all goes well according to script; if billary wins the nomination:


Huckabee-Hillary Matchup


An Obama-Biden ticket might give him a run for his money. Oprah’s heartfelt endorsement will definitely boost his campaign and just might propel him to the general elections. His campaign of change is hitting home with a lot of Americans on both sides of the aisle. That we have lost a lot in the recent past and stand to loose more in the near future is the untarnished truth and strong leadership is the only way out.

While star power is not lacking in Obama’s campaign, additional endorsements from Al Gore, John Kerry and the Kennedy machine will definitely propel him to the Whitehouse. Obama is a superstar who needs no endorsement from other celebrities; nevertheless, this Oprah endorsement is surely a big boost for him.
