Huckabee defends Obama’s pastor
Huckabee surprises many with an expression of empathy for someone at the polar opposite of the political spectrum:
“I grew up in a very conservative south, and I think that you have to cut some slack, and I think I’m probably the only conservative in America who is going to say something like this, but I’m [...]
I want the Huckabee popcorn-popper-slash-squirrel-fryer
Political Nanny is talking about all the campaign-related merchandise now available, like this Hillary laughing pen and the Obama finger puppet:
There’s something so compelling and fun about all the opportunistic junk that’s out there and related to this campaign — Political Nanny wants one of everything. Is it advances in technology that make it all [...]

“Heckabee”
My 5-year-old nephew told my sister the other day that he plans to vote for Obama, not for “Heckabee.”
That reminds me of the time back in 2000 when a kid I know said he was for “The Ralphinator” (Ralph Nader).

Where to look for local campaign supporters
So in my quest to find local presidential campaign supporters, I posted a message on Knox Blab, and this was one of the suggestions (from Metulj, who blogs at KnoxViews):
Look in these places:
Huckabee: Luttrell Church of the Almighty Smiting Super Jesus
Clinton: WalMart Regional Management team
McCain: The local Democratic Leadership Council offices.

Read More..>>Looking for Huckabee volunteers & supporters
Are you a Huckabee enthusiast/volunteer living in the greater Knoxville area? If so, I’d like to talk to you today about a possible WBIR-TV appearance.
I am looking for someone who is willing to talk about why he/she is supporting Huckabee, and offer an East Tennessee perspective on where the campaign is headed.
If you fit [...]
UPDATE: still not connecting with state presidential campaign organizations
So I have now spent too much time today attempting to connect with area organizations for Huckabee, Obama, Clinton and McCain. Why? because I want to put a local someone from each of these campaigns on TV later this week.
It seems like something they would want to do, right?
I’ve left innumerable phone messages, called [...]
Note to East Tennessee campaign leadership: it shouldn’t be this hard to find you
I have a suggestion for Tennessee’s Obama, Clinton, Huckabee and McCain campaigns: make your local spokespeople easier to find.
Have you ever gone to the national or state websites for specific presidential campaigns and attempted to find contact info for an actual, living, breathing person with a name, located right here in the general Knoxville area, [...]
Not Wall Street, but Wal-Mart
Huckabee describes the voters he’s seeking:
“Folks, there are a lot of Americans out there who would like to believe there’s a president who’s going to be their president, the people’s president,” Huckabee said during a rally this morning. “I may not be the choice of the Wall Street Republicans, but I’d like to be the [...]

Voting by anagram
If you remain undecided, perhaps a review of the possible anagrams presented by each candidate’s name would be helpful in making your final choice.
For example:
Mike Huckabee: meek hick beau, eke hack imbue, make hike cube, I meek cake hub, heck mike beau, me be khaki cue, eke hi cake bum.
John McCain: non-chic jam, jam in [...]
Conservatives are losing that lovin’ feeling for Huckabee
Terry Frank on Huckabee’s strategy , and how it’s helping McCain:
Now out at polling places around the country, fly into the DANGER ZONE with the long awaited sequel to the 1986 movie hit Top Gun, Top Gun 2: the White House Mission….Starring John McCain as Maverick…And Mike Huckabee as Goose.
Conservatives are not happy with the [...]
Mike Huckabee checks in with our newsroom
Our 6pm producer just got a call at her desk - an automated call - from Mike Huckabee, assuring her/anyone who happened to pick up the phone that he’s the “one true conservative,” and that he’ll “fight for Tennessee values.”
Uhhh. Thanks Mike.

Where will Huckabee stand tomorrow?
Oatney says he’ll still be hanging on:
One thing that can quickly be gleaned from watching the morning shows today is that the pundits really don’t have a clue what is going to happen tonight-and I am not comfortable making predictions about the overall winner, because delegate counts make as much of a difference in the [...]
UPDATE: Does Christian = Republican?
Southern Beale says no way:
The media has long perpetuated the myth that all Christians (especially Evangelicals) are Republican. They support this myth by presenting far-right people of faith like James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Ralph Reed and Richard Land as the face of American Christianity. Even though American Christianity is far more diverse than that, and [...]
A double standard when it comes to Huckabee and Romney’s religious views?
Huckabee takes a lot of questions about his unapologetically literalist Christian views, including some very specific ones.
Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has been called upon to defend another Bible passage — the one about wives submitting to their husbands.
At Thursday night’s Fox News debate in South Carolina, Huckabee explained that the passage from the [...]
Mrs. Huckabee handles- okay, well, actually she lops the head off of - snakes
A new liberal Tennessee blogger published a photo today from an old Sports Illustrated that purports to show Janet Huckabee taking a snake’s head off with some sort of axe-like weapon. Yeah, it’s super weird campaign ephemera. Go look for yourself.

Huckabee on immigration
Via VOLuntarily Conservative:
“One of the great challenges facing us is that we do not commit the same mistakes with our growing Hispanic population that we did with African Americans 150 years ago and beyond. We’re still paying the price for the pathetic manner in which this country handled that.”
- Mike Huckabee, Dec. 6, 2006, comparing [...]
