Huckabee Out; Anti-War Protest Builds


by: Todd Hill

Thu Aug 30, 2007 at 08:35 AM CDT


The GOP Fort Worth straw poll set for Saturday, September 1st, continues to lose Republican primary candidates like President Bush continues to lose cronies.

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is the latest to pull out of the first ever Texas Republican straw poll, which leaves even the Star-Telegram now speculating whether the anti-war protest set for this Saturday will outnumber GOP attendees and delegates.

With Huckabee's withrdraw, that leaves only Texas congressman, and one time Libertarian Ron Paul, along with Right-Wing conservative congressman Duncan Hunter as the only real contendors. 

The non-partisan anti-war protest is expected to number in the thousands.  I know that I will be in attendance.  For more details on Saturday's festivities, which begin at 12:30, check out the Texans for Peace website.

It is entertaining to see the waning influence of the once mighty Texas GOP.

Huckabee, who's running as the Christian family values candidate, (0.00 / 0)
said this about pictures of Russian President Vladimir Putin fishing shirtless:

"While I am impressed with the fact he can get out and go fishing, the shirtless photo doesn't do anything for me. Now, if it was a picture of Scarlett Johansson, that would be another story."

That comment seems a bit off-message to me.
