Both Rudy Giuliani and John Edwards have announced the end of their run for president. I was surprised to learn that Giuliani fared so poorly in Florida even though he put so much effort into campaigning there. I read that Rudy is now backing McCain, so it looks like McCain is going to continue doing well. Personally, I like what I know about McCain, but that isn’t saying much.
Some news agencies are implying that John Edwards’ campaign focus on poverty shows that the American public doesn’t care about the state of poverty in our nation, but I think its a bit of a stretch the draw that conclusion.
I haven’t heard much from or about Huckabee or Dr. Ron Paul lately, but I did notice that Dennis Kucinich has also dropped out of the race.
News reports are saying Fred Thompson has dropped out of the presidential race. I really expected more from him, but I guess that’s all he had to give. What do you think?
While on the road today, the radio was all abuzz about how all the media is all abuzz about Mike Huckabee. I’ve heard his name before, but I didn’t know much about him before today.
As I understand it, like Ron Paul, Huckabee hasn’t been given much attention by the media. However, since he’s a front runner in the Iowa caucus, he can’t be ignored. So who is he, and what does he stand for?
From his candidacy website, I was able to learn that Mike Huckabee is very religious, athletic, musical, and politically accomplished, but I didn’t get a clear view of his running platform. I get the idea that he is concerned with healthcare, but I was unable to learn his opinions towards fiscal policy and social issues. My guess is that his politics would be guided by his religion. While this would be seen as a great thing by some, others may find it discomforting. What do you think?
