Mike Huckabee: For real or a media creation?

Watching the Fox News debate last night from New Hampshire, it seemed that there was a definite concerted effort to highlight Mike Huckabee, possibly to move him into the media-created "top tier" of GOP candidates.
I have never met, seen, or heard of a supporter of Mike Huckabee for president. Where are they? Are they hiding? Are they anywhere on the internet? Why is he suddenly gaining recognition? What is he offering that's different from the rest of the field?

All I hear from Huckabee is slogans and rhetoric.

"Divided we fall"? "We must stay in Iraq for our honor"??????

This is utter crap! There is no substance to these words and Mike Huckabee is just another political hack. The media suddenly focusing on him is an obvious ploy to take attention away from Ron Paul. The good thing for us is, it won't work! In fact, focusing on Huckabee will actually help Ron Paul. The little squabble last night over the war launched Paul into the spotlight.

What would that debate have been like without Ron Paul last night? Watching paint dry would likely be more fun.

The bottom line is Mike Huckabee is merely a distraction. He has nothing new to offer and has zero chance of winning the GOP nomination.
