The reason McCain want debate Mike Huckabee is because he is afraid he would loose the debate.  Plain and simple.  Mr. Huckabee has never been given a fair chance by the media or the Republican Party.

If McCain has the nomination locked up, what has he got to lose with 1 debate? Free airtime for him. But if he refuses he looks bad.

I wonder how long it will take Republican followers to understand just how much Democracy is missing these days thanks to their corrupt politicians and the corporate media getting favors from them.

We still have a Republican election going on here and Huckabee is playing FAIR by the rules the GOP Party wrote, so why is everybody acting like he has done something wrong. Why can’t we get a debate on the Republican side the same as the Democrats?  There is no winner til 1191 and I for one, would never want a man for President who would quit or give up.  This is a sign of strong character, principles and a fighter attitude that I would hope to find in the President.  We all know that Huckabee would be in the lead had it not been for the multitude of conservatives in the race in the beginning competing for conservative votes while McCain collected ALL the liberal votes.  The other conservtives quit when McCain got ahead.  How admirable that Mike Huckabee is running on his beliefs and principles, not to worry how the GOP perceives him.  Would serve other politicians to remember they work for the people, not the establishment.  We screamed that Washington was broken and we now have 3 Senators from Washington left in the race along with Mike Huckabee who has never lived in Washington.  Go figure?????

Dear Senator McCain:

It’s been my pleasure sharing the stage with you this past year, as we have worked to promote our ideas to lead this county.  I have the deepest respect for you as a person, politician, and an American hero – and I appreciate the way you have run such an issue-based, positive campaign. 

Now that the race for the Republican nomination is down to just the two of us, I believe this is the time for a real discussion about our vision for the future of this great country.  I encourage you to join me in a Lincoln Douglas-style debate so that voters can better understand our views on critical issues such as health care, education, energy independence, terrorism and national security.

Our Democratic counterparts, Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, have had recent opportunities to underscore the differences in their positions. It seems only fitting to me that Republican primary voters are offered the same.

I look forward to working with your staff to schedule this as soon as possible.  I would suggest we set the debate before the March Fourth Primaries.  It is my hope that one of the TV networks would offer to sponsor such an event.

Senator, let’s lead by example and get the ball rolling. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this idea and debating you in front of the American people

Sincerely,

Mike Huckabee

Former Governor of Arkansas (1996-2007)
