There was a huge turnout. It was just like the Des Moines Register says, long lines, way too few chairs, barely enough standing room. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs...03047/1001/NEWS There were some good three minute talks given for four of the candidates. There were a lot of young adults there participating. The first talk was given by a someone who is 17.5 years old. He did a good job. Huckabee's support was overwhelmingly from the Christian conservatives. It was great to see so many turn out.

Seriously - before making a definitive decision regarding this guy, please read these articles! There Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't dislike Huckabee per se...but I like to vote for a man who is smarter than I. That wasn't a joke, by the way. And, boy, does this line tell it all: There were some good three minute talks given for four of the candidates. There were a lot of young adults there participating. The first talk was given by a someone who is 17.5 years old. He did a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal opinion is, if you are going to vote for him you are someone who votes based on one issue. Otherwise, the rest of us who recongnize his many faults will quickly reconsider and look at the rest of the candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gripe regarding Huckabee goes way beyond any "religious" affiliation. nevermind. someone told me he was and i was trying to verify on online. he's baptist. religion can play a role for me on who to vote because they have a vision. however, i still have to do my research. im going to read that huge articale on page 1 of this thread.
