Hope?

So, here we are with Obama winning Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, and I’m listening to his evening speech, heavily loaded with “hope.”  My first thought is that Hillary is in trouble as I see it, with Obama being a strong communicator and a candidate who is really able to energize the youth vote.  I may be wrong, but I don’t see how Obama can be stopped by a woman who has the highest negatives of any candidate running (yeah, I know there’s that pesky Clinton machine, but you know, it’s getting old and a little tired).

So, let’s imagine that Obama gets the Democratic nod.  How, I ask anyone, how can John McCain, a man who will be 72 by election day, who can easily be seen “reading” his speeches (and stumbling a bit when he speaks), and ultimately who comes from a generation so far removed from a 25 year old voter that he is literally irrelevant to them, how is he gonna beat Obama?

I don’t think he can.

In fact, I doubt he even comes close.  So, what’s a Republican to do?  Duh…  McCain must be stopped by getting seriously serious about Mike Huckabee.  Sure, Huckabee isn’t at all likely to win the nomination by getting enough delegates, that’s easy to see.  But, if “conservatives” get serious about conservatism, we can stop McCain from getting the 1,191 before the convention in September. 

If Republicans want any reasonable chance in the coming national election, they better be looking to the only candidate left that can go head to head against Obama on communication skills, youthful relevance, and most importantly, genuine “hope.”  Obama is ultra liberal, inexperienced, has never governed, and is only filling a small balloon with “hot air” hope.  Mike Huckabee is a real conservative, he knows how to govern (with more executive experience than anyone who has been in this race), he knows how to be relevant to the younger audience, and no one knows hope any better than the preacher man who was born in the town called Hope.

Mike Huckabee needs a miracle.  Mike Huckabee needs true conservatives to stand up and be that miracle. 

GO MIKE GO!
