Feb. 5, 2008 - Super Tuesday
So, for many of us, tomorrow is the big day. For the guys running, a clear leader may finally emerge. We are voting for Mike Huckabee (no surprise there), and while I still hope that he could win enough delegates to win the nomination, it does look like John McCain has a pretty clear shot at that as well.
I am tired of hearing about how my vote for Huckabee is really a vote for McCain. In my mind, they are nothing at all alike. Of course, my vote is not for McCain, it's for Huck! I do understand the concept of splitting the conservative vote, but I am of the mind that we have three choices (okay, four if you count Paul) that stand for the three different kinds of conservatives. There are fiscal conservatives...the economy is the most important issue to them..they are probably voting for Romney. There are national security conservatives...the war is most important to them...McCain is their man. Then there are social conservatives...moral issues:abortion, family, marriage, gay/lesbian issues are most important to them...Mike Huckabee is the social conservative of the bunch. (Thanks Rush for that clear picture of how conservatives break down)
To me, the social issues trump everything else. I do not like to think of myself as a one issue voter, but all those moral issues are really more important to me than everything else!! I look at the political process like this, I have a chance to vote my conscience now, in the primaries. In the general election, I will consider politics.
I hope you will vote your conscience as well.

Hey anonymous...thanks for sharing! I have been following the Stewart/Colbert/O'Brian "Who made Huckabee" fight for a couple weeks. It's been pretty funny.
Thanks for stopping by.
