Governor Huckabee has run a spirited and vigorous campaign. He should be applauded for his run. He is a smart, witty, and calculating man. What Governor Huckabee does now will matter. He will be remembered for his actions.
So the question is? Will Governor Huckabee step aside? Will he stand up for his principles, for his party, for his country, put his stated convictions before himself? Or will he subvert his own conservative principles by staying in a race he will not win and thusly run interference for the anti-conservative McCain.?
By staying in he is saying he supports:
Open Borders
Bigger Government
Higher Taxes
CO2 Taxes
Stem Cell Research
Restricted Speech
Trying enemy combatant terrorists in Civilian Courts
Liberal Judges of the Souter stripe
So the question is? Is Mike Huckabee a principled conservative who puts service to his principals before self, or is he a McCain clone? What Governor Huckabee does now matters. And he with his actions will be remembered for it.
