Here We Go! Iowa, it’s up to you.

Alright friends, the day of reckoning is upon us!  By tomorrow evening, we will know the results of the Iowa Straw Poll.  I am starting to feel just like I used to before taking the stage in a theatrical production...scared to death, but with a certain peace knowing that the hard work has been done and things usually have a way of working out just fine.

I've been following the Mike Huckabee blog since their new website came online.  I've seen event after event posted and through it all have seen the crowds get larger, the buzz get louder, and the national press, well, show up.   Momentum is clearly on the side of the Huckabee movement.  Other candidates seem to be standing still despite their efforts and dollars spent.  You simply can't buy legitimacy or likeability.

What you can buy are buses.  Lots and lots of buses.  There isn't a bus available for rent in the entire state of Iowa, due in large part to the "major" or "cash dependant" campaigns purchasing them all.  This sets up an amazing set of circumstances.

If Governor Huckabee is to do well, which I fully expect, and he does it on message and personality alone, what do the other candidates gain from staying in the race?  To be beaten or competitively close to a candidate who has spent relatively little money only shows that their time has come to an end and the torch needs to be passed with all due haste.  It shows that people can see through the slick commercials, the robo-calls, and the general talking point staged rhetoric lacking any semblance of sincerity.  It means that people still understand that it is they who decide whom their representatives are and not the kingmakers in the press.  It means there is still hope for the Republican Party, and the country for that matter.

If you live in Iowa, it is time to take to the streets.  Hopefully you do so in a car with a map to Ames.    Show us the dedication necessary to assemble thousands of supporters for a day long event however far away from home it may be.  Prove your worth.  Show that a candidate can achieve an honorable victory through honest grassroots efforts and a message that resonates all across your state.  Prove that the "dark horse" has become a "stallion of light" shining the way to a better America, an America Rising!

With your help, we can keep this campaign alive.  What donors across the country could ignore the potential juggernaut found in the lethal combination of message/personality and the resourses with which to share it!  They have been waiting for a reason.  Let's give them one!

Here's to Mike Huckabee.  Here's to the FairTax.  Here's to America!
