Mike Huckabee dropped out because he felt there was no way mathematically that he could win the nomination.

Please do not perpetuate the predominate bias toward excluding Ron Paul. He is a viable candidate, included on all 50 states ballots. He is a REPUBLICAN candidate, has been a respected republican congressman for 10 terms now and working on number 11. His ideas and positions on the issues are worthy of debate. There is still a very real possibility that he could be our next president. Why have you not even mentioned his name?Tiluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791820871274073375noreply@blogger.com
