Slog - Comments on Huckabee Chases the Impossible Dream http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/huckabee_chases_the_impossible_dream The Politico's Jonathan Martin attempts to answer one of the last, great questions of 2008: what could possibly be the motivation for Mike Huckabee to stay in this race? The new line of reasoning from party insiders trying to figure out the strategy behind Huckabee's increasingly quixotic, totally mad run for the White House? People will look back fondly and say, "at least he did better than Mitt Romney." “Huckabee is playing for second,” said Republican strategist Craig Shirley, a McCain backer and author of a book on the 1976 presidential race. “He wants the story written that he came...

The Republican party is keeping Huckabee in the race so McCain has an opponent.

No opponent, no need to campaign, no news coverage for the remainder of the primaries.

In San Antonio, where Treat frequents often, he made a whopping $15,000 for one hour of speaking at Eagle's Nest Church under Pastor Rick Godwin.

The constant extravagant spending going on in these mega churches is doing nothing but fleecing the flock, and making these so-called preachers VERY rich.

Take a look at the blogs going on in San Antonio, Texas and read the stories that Casey Treat is involved in.

Huckabee is in bed with John Hagee and Kenneth Copeland, and it's questionable whether anything unethical has happened. Should a person running for US President take money from a ministry who is being investigated by the Senate Finance Committee?

Come Senator Grassley and make this prosperity gospel STOP!! It is all lies and twisted scripture, and nothing to do with the Jesus of the Bible.

Then again, you're expecting rational behavior from a man who believes the Earth is only 6000 years old?
