Governor Huckabee's showing on Super Tuesday was spectacular. Considering the results he got with the minimal amount of resources he has had throughout this campaign, there can only be one explanation:
Here is Governor Huckabee's speech on Super Tuesday.
We'd like to bring attention to two articles in a local paper, the Johnson City Press, about Mike Huckabee and his supporters.

The Huckabee campaign has released an official invitation. We have replaced our unconfirmed details with this official information.
You are invited to join Presidential Candidate
Governor Mike HuckabeeMonday, February 4th, 2008
11:30 a.m – 12:30 p.m.
For a Rally at the Tri-Cities Airport/Tri-City Aviation Hangar

Blountville, TNRSVP to Robert.Kuykendall@explorehuckabee.com or (515) 473-8298.
Also, we have an official invitation you can print out.
We just received word that Tennessee Right to Life has endorsed Mike Huckabee for President. Read the endorsement here. Excerpt:
Tennessee Right to Life announces today the group's endorsement of Governor Mike Huckabee for the February 5 Presidential primary. The strength of Governor Huckabee's public record on matters concerning the protection of human life and strong support among the organization's grassroots members were key to making the decision.
"The beauty of a grassroots organization is that your members set the priorities," said Brian Harris, president of the state's oldest and largest pro-life organization. "For pro-life Tennesseans, the election of a sincere, proven pro-life president is paramount," said Harris. "Our members recognize Mike Huckabee as ‘one of us' and that enthusiasm is driven by his demonstrated record of leadership and sacrifice toward the shared cause of protecting life," said Harris.
A commenter pointed me to a poll done for the Tennessee primary. I had not seen any polls to date. The poll was released by WSMV-TV, Channel 14 in Knoxville. Click here for a detailed pdf of the poll.
The poll was taken before Fred Thompson's withdrawal from the Presidential race. The results of the Republican poll are as follows.
- Fred Thompson: 25%
- Mike Huckabee: 24%
- John McCain: 12%
- Mitt Romney: 7%
- Undecided: 26%
As you can see, 26% of likely Republican primary voters are undecided. Couple that with the fact that 25% supported Thompson, we can suppose that close to 50% or Tennessee's likely Republican primary voters are undecided. In other words, roughly 1 in 2 people you bump into in your daily routine are undecided.
The poll also breaks the numbers down regionally, showing what the numbers look like for East, Middle, and West Tennessee. Here's the East Tennessee breakdown:
- Mike Huckabee: 23%
- Fred Thompson: 18%
- John McCain: 13%
- Mitt Romney: 9%
- Undecided: 30%
Again, there is a heavy number of undecided voters in our region, and add the Thompson supporters to the undecideds, and there are roughly 1 in 2 Republican primary voters who have yet to decide on a candidate.
These are the voters we want to, and need to, reach. Here are 5 ways to target these voters this weekend:
- Write and Send a personal endorsement. This can change minds in this primary. Get them out as soon as possible. An example can be viewed here.
- Display a bumper sticker. We have plenty, so if you need one, contact us ASAP. Email tnhuck [at] gmail [dot] com.
- Get and display a yard sign. We will have hundreds of these by tonight. Please contact us so we can get you a sign (or 2) to place in your yard. Email tnhuck [at] gmail [dot] com.
- Print out and distribute voter guides to your friends. Church is a good place to distribute these (with your pastor's permission). A good non-partisan guide can be found at Wallbuilders. Check out the guide here.
- Plan to help us plaster the region with Huckabee signs early this week. We will want to cover many public areas, including voting places. The more help we can get with this, the more effective we can be.
We said at the meeting that we would have a sample endorsement letter posted to the site. You can view the sample by clicking here. Feel free to use it verbatim, or just as an example for your own letter.
Northeast Tennessee for Huckabee had a meeting yesterday. There was a good turnout. Below is a picture and very short video clip.

We'll post some more of the organizational ideas that were offered a bit later.
In the meantime, you should also take a look at Governor Huckabee's speech to the AFA on Monday. You can find that post here.
On January 21, 2008, Mike Huckabee gave a speech at the American Family Association's "Rediscovering God in America" conference. The speech is posted below in four parts.

Mike Huckabee will likely make a play for Tennessee. This means that he potentially will be campaigning in the state. We want Governor Huckabee to visit the Tri-Cities. Help us get him here by participating in our area's "Demand Huckabee" effort.
Today, congressman and former Presidential candidate Duncan Hunter announced his endorsement Mike Huckabee for President. In addition to giving a boost to Governor Huckabee's campaign, Hunter's endorsement has driven the right-wing crazy.
I came across the Huckabee campaign's official online headquarters for the state of Tennessee. Check it out here: http://www.mikehuckabee.com/?FuseAction=TennesseeHQ.Home. There's not much on there yet, but as we get closer to February 5th, Tennessee is going to become a huge focus for the Huckabee campaign.
I think a reminder of just how far Governor Huckabee has come is in order.
Looking Back
In January 2007, a Rasmussen National Poll for the Republican Nomination put Mike Huckabee with 1%
Roughly one year later, the weekly average for the Nomination put Mike Huckabee in a much better position. Over the most recent 7 week period, Mike Huckabee has either led, or been in serious contention, in the tracking poll.
To be clear, Governor Huckabee's numbers might significantly change due to the South Carolin Primary Results. But even if they do, Governor Huckabee has made an amazing showing thus far. And yes, we did say "thus far." If the past is any indication, Governor Huckabee will be marginalized and written off by both the media and the other candidates seeking the office. And, if the past is any indication, Governor Huckabee will continue to surprise.
Looking Ahead
Now we are heading into the Florida primary, and on to Super Tuesday. Tennessee is a Super Tuesday state, and we plan on helping Governor Huckabee do well in this state.
We received an email from the campaign reflecting on the race so far, and laying out the strategy for the future. We fall into the Super Tuesday portion of the strategy, and the campaign has laid out the following goal for the Super Tuesday states.
1. Launch of online headquarters in every Super Tuesday primary state. We will need bloggers in each state to help organize our grassroots efforts. We will send state specific emails discussing our goals in each state.
We are pleased to help in this effort. We ask fellow Tennesseans to help us.
Northeast Tennesseans
Three ways that Northeastern Tennesseans can help is to:
- Join our Meetup group (Very Important)
- Attend our next meeting
- Sign up at our Northeast Tennessee Grassroots Headquarters
See some funny outtakes from the HuckChuckFacts commercial that featured Governor Huckabee and Chuck Norris.
The folks at Northeast Tennessee for Huckabee have announced a dinner meeting that will be held next Thursday. Head on over to their blog to get the details.
What better indication of a swirl of momentum than the amazing fundraising that the campaign has done in the last 36 hours. Last night, the campaign sent out an email indicating that their strategy in South Carolina would require an additional $300,000. As of this post, they are only $15,275 short.
If you would like to give, please use our Northeast Tennessee for Huckabee donor code, which is R6228.
Just released is the details of the upcoming Chuck for Huck BBQ fundraiser for the Huckabee campaign. Click here for the details.
The folks at NETN For Huckabee have posted Governor Huckabee's 'Detriot Economic Club' speech in its entirety. You can view it here. This was a very good speech by the Governor.
Also, we'd like to welcome a new Tennessee Blogger for Huckabee. Huckabeespot began last Friday.
Governor Huckabee will be appearing on Sean Hannity's radio program soon. We will upload a clip once it is done. Update: Clips added.
