Well loyal readers, I’ve decided to put GrandRapids4Huckabee.com on hiatus. It’s become pretty clear that Mike Huckabee won’t be the nominee in 2008. He’s still fighting a great fight and standing up for the many things that you and I value, but the writing is on the wall.
Today Romney endorsed McCain and asked his delegates [...]

Huckabee Back in Grand Rapids
In case you missed it, here’s the story from Mlive.com:
Huckabee to speak in Grand Rapids in March
Posted by Gazette News Service February 12, 2008 15:58PM
GRAND RAPIDS — Mike Huckabee’s coming to Grand Rapids next month, but not to stump for votes.
The Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas governor will be the featured speaker at North [...]

Unfazed
If you haven’t seen it yet, Mike got beat pretty handily by McCain today in the Virginia, Maryland and DC primaries. None of these were really high on his list (although Mike needs every delegate he can pick up) and already he seems to be looking ahead to a few of the big primaries on [...]

Upcoming Primaries
What’s next for Huckabee? On Tuesday, Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC hold their primaries. Mike said he expects to perform better than originally expected in Maryland and Virginia, although he’s quite a bit behind McCain in recent polls. Those, however, don’t factor in any bump that Mike might get from doing so well in the [...]

A Kansas Coup
What a wonderful surprise for Mike Huckabee to win 60% of the Kansas vote yesterday – and what a disheartening event for McCain. Mike also tied up Louisiana and may even pull out Washington after the votes are fully counted.
Having said that, I want to be straight with you – the chances of Mike winning [...]

Dobson backs Huckabee
Boy, as soon as I said that I’d stop posting daily, all sorts of interesting stuff starts happening. First Romney backs out, and now James Dobson endorses Huckabee. I’m not a huge Dobson fan (I’m not sure I appreciate the reputation he’s earning us Evangelicals) but there’s no doubt that millions of Christians value his [...]

And then there were two (plus Ron Paul)…
Well by now all of have probably heard that Romney has dropped out of the race. It’s amazing to me to think that Mike Huckabee has lasted this long given where he was just six short months ago. Go Mike!

Final Super Tuesday Delegate Count
This just in…
Nearly complete returns from Super Tuesday left McCain with 707 delegates, nearly 60 percent of the 1,191 needed to win the nomination at the national convention in St. Paul, Minn., this summer.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney had 294, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee 195 and Texas Rep. Ron Paul 14.
A significant accomplishment for [...]

Beyond Super Tuesday
Last night was a very impressive showing for Mike Huckabee. He showed what all of us knew – that he’s a more viable candidate than most in the media (which is largely dominated by NY and California pundits) would acknowledge and that he represents a large portion of the Republican party.
Having said that, the White [...]

A Very Good Night for Mike
Well, at just over midnight, it looks like Mike has won every state that he hoped to get except Missouri (which he barely lost to McCain). Not only did he win West Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia (his biggest win), and Arkansas, but earned delegates in a number of other states that weren’t winner-take-all. What’s next? [...]
