Florida

I have to admit, I was a bit surprised that McCain picked up the endorsements he did. I was certain Romney would get the major endorsements of Governor Crist and the popular Florida Senator Mel Martinez.

Still the race for the nomination is going to be close no matter what. Romney and McCain are still polling, for the most part, within a few percentage points of each other. Super Tuesday will tell us much, much more about where we are headed with a Republican nominee.

What about Huckabee? I still really like Huckabee and expect that he will pull in a significant number of votes on Tuesday. Voters for Huckabee are voting for a man who is genuine and truly stands for conservative, social justice issues. If you want to see compassionate conservatism and what religious conservatives really believe about the social issues of our day you just have to look at Huckabee's stand on issues such as abortion and the poor.

Romney and McCain look to be the top dogs in this race but Huckabee is still a force to be reckoned with.
