Huckabee Looking To Force Brokered Convention

Mike Huckabee, in a radio interview while campaigning in Texas, admitted that his goal is to force a brokered convention, and then offer himself as the true Conservative to the convention delegates:

In an interview with 1200 WOAI news during his swing through Texas, longshot Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee outlined a strategy which has him not winning the GOP nomination outright, but pushing the nomination to the September Republican National Convention, which he says will turn to him as the most ‘conservative alternative.’

I am praying----that Huckabee succeeds. While he is far from my ideal candidate--he is the only one left that stands a chance and is far more acceptable, to me, than Juan McChico!

To belabor a point--Huckabee is the one that stands a chance. I believe there is a better candidate, but 5% of the vote does not cut it!!!!

At this point in time, I think this is our best hope.
