Back from the Brink

Isn't it amazing how many times Gov. Huckabee has been counted out, only to rise again from the ashes and accomplish another victory?

Our caucus closed yesterday with my precinct showing numbers that eclipsed the last Presidential election by over 1000 percent. Last election -- 4; this election -- over 50!

And, also yesterday (Saturday February 9th) I attended, along with my wife and youngest son, a breakfast featuring Mrs. Janet Huckabee. We sat at a reserved table and enjoyed great fellowship and a message from Mrs. Huckabee outlining the Huckabee Plan for America.



Here is Mrs. Huckabee speaking to an audience at the International House of Pancakes in Olympia, WA. Total invited -- 100; Total Attended -- 130...








Some of the visiting dignitaries included State Senators and Representatives.


Here is State Senator Dan Swecker introducing Mrs. Huckabee to the audience.















Mrs. Huckabee was not only extremely well spoken, but professional and approachable at the same time.
Her humor and down-home relational style is attractive, but also authoritative in its tone. She knows of what she speaks. And she did not falter in her reporting of her husbands plan for America and the components therein.

She made a point of visiting with as many (nearly everyone) there at the IHoP, even spending time allowing pictures and others to eat their breakfast, while hers grew cold.

Kudo's to IHoP and the manager/Owner, and the servers for our gigantic party. Not an ordinary location for a group that large to be viewed in a good light, but these guys were top-notch. They even came up with a catchy plate title "The HuckaBerry" Breakfast, special for the occasion.

Due to my role within the organization, I was afforded a good perch to witness Mrs. Huckabee speak and was able to speak directly with her both before and after about her limited time in the State as well as to ensure she knew that we were serious about Gov. Huckabee's run for the Whitehouse.

UPDATE: Just released from AP; Mike Huckabee challenges Washington State Republican "calling of the race" to McCain with only 87% of the precincts reporting. Gov. Huckabee has said that legal team members are on the way to Washington State to challenge the statement, and the State Republican Party leader Luke Esser has stated that if Huckabee wants to continue counting, then he has no problem with that, but has not released any new numbers.

We will continue to monitor this issue and report.
