Kids Dig Obama, But McCain Can Gain

Not any one Republican VP candidate has the ability to diffuse the naysayers, rally the party, and serve like Mike Huckabee.

Huckabee's economic and foreign relations service is widely under-reported. His global awareness and travels around the world (including Israel nine times) with the gift of listening and communicating effectively are second to none.

As a Governor, he's run a government longer than any other (in a historically Democrat state, no less), took swift action to provide mutual aid in the face of Katrina, stood for the working class and small business, restored a crumbling school system and infrastructure in Arkansas, and remains highly respected by both citizens and peers of every political persuasion. His ability to run a campaign on a shoestring more recently underscores his ability to treat others' hard-earned dollars with respect. Someone who is faithful in the little things will be just as faithful with much.

What's missing from any other potential VP candidate is passion! No amount of money can buy the support he has. None! It's PASSION that drives single parents, struggling middle class, seniors on fixed incomes, and college students to sacrificially give to his campaign. Huckabee has the respect of the independent white woman, impoverished minorities, and fired up young and first-time voters more than any other Republican.

Very importantly, Mike Huckabee inspires hope and tangible change with actual plans to make that happen. He can hold his own with the common man, the elite, and any foreign dignitary. He puts his country first, can never be bought, and shows loyalty to whatever cause he is aligned.

I hope and wish that Mr. McCain will make the right decision for our country and the Republican party by choosing Mike Huckabee as VP.
