Huckabee leads in VP Poll

John McCain's home state of Arizona is choosing Huckabee as the best choice for McCain's running mate / vice president.

Huckabee is leading the pack with 79% of the vote. Mitt Romney is a distant second with 7%.

You can still continue to let your voice be heard and vote in the poll by clicking here.

If John McCain does not choose Huckabee as his VP running mate, then I have no reason to vote for McCain in the general election. I wouldn't have a voice that speaks for me or pushes for the issues that I care about.

John McCain needs evangelical help. I know I am one and I don't feel that he at all relates to this huge bloc of voters. Barack Obama even seems to appeal just as much as McCain, simply because he has a more compassionate speaking ability. I wouldn't ever vote for him, but he has something McCain desperately needs, and that Huckabee can bring.

He is making a HUGE mistake if he doesn't pick Huckabee or at least someone with a great appeal to evangelicals. The thing is that he appeals not only to evangelicals but some blacks, Latinos, young voters, independent minded democrats, and lower-income citizens. ALL things Republicans HAVE to have in order to win this election year.

Otherwise we fall even harder.

It appears that it’s all down to Alaska Gov Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney, and team Romney fears Palin now has the best shot, so Romney camp is mounting a blogosphere-wide assault via Politico.

The tip-off that Politico is just a “promote Romney” piece is that it mentions EVERY NAME in the next two tiers of Veep prospects EXCEPT SARAH PALIN!!! — even names far more unlikely than Palin (since Romney camp knows Palin is the ONLY ONE who tops — I’ll say tops by far — Romney as McCain’s best pick).

Bottom line, Romney and Politico fear Palin most — as do the Dems and the MSM. (By the way, the Dems and MSM do not fear Romney the most — which says a lot.)

AOL, a main on-line pro-Obama/pro-Dem player, is now carrying the Politico piece promoting Romney buzz.

Clearly AOL wants McCain and the GOP to lose the general elction — hence they gladly promote Romney (no mention of Palin).

Also, CNN had Romney — kind of out of the blue — attacking Obama. Again, CNN, wanting McCain and the GOP to lose, gladly promotes Romney (to attempt to avert the Palin threat).

All the media frenzy which will surround the remarkable Palin “story” — essentially free to McCain — will be worth millions and millions of dollars of coverage and PR (more money than Romney would provide anyway).
