We just came back from hearing Mike Huckabee speak at the Trinity Methodist Church. Don't care what the pundits say, we have decided that he is the only one that we can vote for and will definitely vote for him on Tuesday. Thanks for all your inspirations, Dave.

The thing there hasn't been enough of is honest in-depth debate on each candidate's plans and principles, not just positions. Conservative principles are the very core of our American spirit. They are what the Republican Party is supposed to be based on, right? Fred Thompson has what America needs to take her back to the principles that made her great, the principles our forefathers based our Constitution on. Fred is the respected man he is because he stands solid on his principles, never swaying with the winds of political correctness. He is a man who stands rock-solid on his principles; a man who will look you straight in the eye and tell you how it really is, good or bad, straightup; a man who speaks with substance; the only one who can be trusted to stand tall and have the resolve to do what is necessary to protect America. I'm writing this to reach out to more people and let them know America had a strong conservative candidate within her reach. Unfortunately though, when Fred Thompson dropped out of the race it became a dark day for America. Do not despair though, there is still hope, the fight will and must go on; there is a plan. If we are all truly commited to Fred’s principles, and hope to see these principles have some bearing on the future of America, we all must vote for Fred in every primary, even if we have to “write in” his name. If we can help keep the vote split enough, maybe a brokered convention could happen. At the very least, it will send a very clear message to Fred and the American people he actually had more support than they thought. This in itself may reinforce the possibility of Fred being selected to run as VP, which would not only bring some integrity into the White House in January of 09, but would garner him the exposure needed for a Presidential run in 2012 or 2016. It would also send a message to the Republican party there are still many true conservatives left who will not stand idly by and watch our party be hijacked by moderate, liberal-leaning Republicans. Last but certainly not least, it would educate the mainstream media to the fact that even though they may be able to influence a campaign’s decision, it is truly we the people who will exercise our God given right guaranteed by the Constitution to make the final decision, to select who we feel is the best leader for our great country.

I have listened to all, done the research and as a believer and by virtue of a good conscience I can't pull the lever for Huckabee. I could for Fred and Duncan. Now it is down to Mitt or John. Between the two I am choosing Mitt based on his leadership ability, his buisness record and honestly his family life is a lot more respectable than John's and McCain is definately a liberal in my book. Dave,
