Rockin' Huckabee
Thursday July 17, 2008
Next week on July 23rd, Huck PAC is hosting a "Vertical Day" for candidates.
If you followed my campaign for President than you may remember the first "Vertical Day" we held on September 24 of last year. On a day when many said we should have focused on our fundraising for that "all important" 3rd quarter financial report, we instead focused on the issues. I blogged about the issues, answered questions about specific issues and used video to speak to voters about issues important to our campaign. We also featured guest blog posts from key supporters of the campaign, supportive bloggers and a guest post from Newt Gingrich. We had a great time and received lots of positive feedback from supporters.
This time, I am going to step to the sidelines and let the candidates Huck PAC has endorsed take the field. We have offered each candidate the option to blog up to 4 times about the issues that matter most to them. No fundraising appeals, no calls to action, just a simple link to their website will be added to each blog post in case you want further information. These candidates aren't just blogging to Huck PAC supporters within their home states and congressional districts, they are blogging to our community. They value what we accomplished during our campaign together and they are eager to offer their views for the way forward and their solutions to the problems we face.
I hope you will take the time to visit us next Wednesday and participate on Vertical Day. I also hope you will share that day with friends and family.
Here is a breakdown of Vertical Day information:
1) Vertical Day is July 23rd 12PM-12AM ET.
2) Each candidate has the option to blog 4 times about issues important to them.
3) We will redesign the homepage of www.huckpac.com to host Vertical Day.
4) One of the things we hope to accomplish is to introduce these candidates to you and your personal networks, facebook friends, etc. We encourage you to forward the blog posts you like to friends and family. We will actually track the "friends contacted" using our send to a friend tool and share the information with you in real time.
5) I will open and close Vertical Day with a blog posts of my own.
6) The following candidates are participating: Bob Clegg, Jim Inhofe, Lamar Alexander, John Cornyn, Steve Daines, Elizabeth Dole, Roy Brown, Gilbert Baker and Brad Lager. We will update this list on our website as Huck PAC endorsed candidates agree to participate.
7) We have asked Huck PAC bloggers to cover the event. For current information on which bloggers are participating follow my feed on Twitter. If you have a blog and are interested in covering the event read more here.
I will email you again very soon and I hope you will mark next Wednesday off on your calendars and tell your friends and family to do the same.
Thanks for all of your support,
Mike Huckabee | | | |

Jennifer Rubin has a nice bit over at Pajamas Media about the hypocrisy in the media towards candidate Obama's rigid idealogy.
She points out his extreme protectionism via his dishonest claims about NAFTA cost the US jobs when we have, in fact, created over 26 million jobs in this country since its inception.
His insistence on universal health care ignores the fact that in Massachusetts and screamingly liberal California, gov't run health care is a disaster. RomneyCare in MA is losing money on the order of billions of dollars, and CA simply gave up on the idea.
Obama's pledge to raise taxes despite evidence that doing so would decrease tax revenues, ignoring progress in Iraq, and refusal to accept information not filtered through his campaign (something Bush has been repeatedly excoriated for) are all highlighted in the article.
Her closing remarks some it up best:
"The great irony of the Democratic nomination process has been that in an election year in which the public is supposedly fed up with extreme partisanship and ideological extremism, the Democrats selected the most liberal member of the Senate, who averts his eyes when confronted with data that does not match up with his ideological convictions. This does not seem to bother his media fan club, nor concern those who are convinced that he represents an entirely new approach to politics. Perhaps it should.
"The real test of an “ideologue” is not how strongly or how eloquently he expresses deeply held views, but whether he can account for new data and adjust policy designs to reflect the real world. If voters think the current administration has been unwilling or delinquent in doing those things, they may be sorely disappointed in an Obama administration."
Great stuff! Read the entire article here:

. . . five months early.
The afore referenced Allahpundit from HotAir concedes the Presidential election today citing in part George Will's op-ed piece in Newsweek.
In the piece, Will basically says that McCain's pro-life stance will drive women voters away in droves to Obama. Will also assumes that a nebulous suggestion that Obama is a Muslim has been holding down his popularity and once that is disabused, his stock will rise exponentially based almost soley on his command of the English language.
Trust a snooty beltway elitist to think voters will gush for anyone who can stitch together a couple of flowery sentences. I'm not sure what bothers me the most, Will's condescention or Allah's gutless penchant to give up at every obstacle. This is the same clown who was running the Aliens clip -- "Game over, man. Game over!" when Huck won the caucus in Iowa. And subsequently at every defeat of his candidate of choice.
The worst part is that once again these clowns are dreaming of a new conservative movement springing up in the wake of an Obama presidency. Like during the primaries, by first advocating that conservative voters withold their votes, these cowards would rather sit back and allow the country to be ruined then hope for a phoenix-like resurrection in the Republican party. And at the same time, they could say "Don't blame us, we didn't vote for him." Beyond childish.
Here's my suggestion boys -- strap on a pair and fight for what you believe in. Go down swinging, not with a whimper. And quit selling your countrymen short, five months of citizens learning about Obama's incompetence for leadership may still win the day for McCain.
And save this country from ruin.

Barak Obama leaves his church of twenty years in the wake of story after story of hateful racist rhetoric from the church's pastor, Obama's spiritual advisor, have popped up in the media. Here's the money quote from the messiah:
“I’m not denouncing the church, and I’m not interested in people who want me to denounce the church . . . it’s not a church worthy of denouncing.”
This guy is a new version of Bill Clinton, dumping anyone who gets in his way of being elected. But that quote, which I'm sure he will denounce in time, is one of the most brutal brush offs in recent memory. Even Billy Jeff had more tactful ways off scraping people off.
Obama's campaigned on the premise that he's real, not a typical politician, but he's shown himself to be just that: a pandering, oportunistic politician. And a one man gaffe machine as well. How Democrats are voting for this guy over Hillary is beyond me.
