This past week Huckabee visited Rhode Island to campaign for their upcoming primary. Calling himself the “conservative alternative,” Huckabee seeks Conservative voters to help him beat McCain in the state. As the important Texas primary (for the Democrats) approaches, the American Research group this week claimed a tie between Huckabee and McCain in Texas! However, a CNN poll asserts that Huckabee is behind McCain by 25%. Another significant primary (for the Democrats) is approaching next week: Ohio. Huckabee also visited Ohio this past week.
In other news, Huckabee would normally practices a “positive campaign,” has joined McCain in attacking Obama. Huckabee, commenting on Obama’s plans as President affirmed and laughed, “I hear Barack Obama say that he's going to provide everybody with health care and college tuition and pave the streets with gold. The proposals he's put on the table so far, already are going to cost about $287 billion dollars, so far. Now that's a lot of money.” This statement shows Huckabee’s strong desire to help the Republican party win the presidency. Lastly, Huckabee expressed the desire for another debate with McCain. Maybe Huckabee will finally drop out after next week’s results (even if he wins a state or two)…

Huckabee's actions this week are the most confusing yet. It seems as if he still wishes to win the nomination. But if he really thinks he will, then he is kidding himself. So why is he continuing to break up the Republican vote by remaining in the race and not backing McCain? This is especially confusing since he has started to attack Obama, in what is supposedly support for his party. America's choice is McCain. Huckabee needs to back off, accept his defeat, and support his party.
I thought it was very surprising that during the Texas primary, Huckabee and McCain tied in Texas. I would have thought McCain would have prevailed due to his 25% advantage. It will be very interesting to see Huckabee’s turn out in Ohio this next week. To help his campaign, Huckabee visited Ohio. I would gladly like to see another debate between Huckabee and McCain as well.
It seems that Huckabee has continued to campaign until the bitter end. However, he thankfully did withdraw from the election after the facts showed him that John McCain was the nominee. Maybe he is now hoping for the vice presidential slot?
