Oh yeah, there’s still a Republican race going on — sort of. Here’s Mike Huckabee at a rally in Waco, Texas channeling Barack Obama: “Let’s change this election and let’s change this country.”
A recent Gallup poll (Feb 8-10) asks American voters whether the four remaining presidential candidates would unite or divide the country
The results: Obama (66%) and McCain (59%) are identified significantly as “uniters,” while Hillary Clinton is seen as a “uniter” by only 40%. (Her “divider” number is a whopping 57%.) Mike Huckabee’s numbers: 38% (uniter) and 47% (divider).
And here’s a catchy ditty aimed at keeping Huckabee in the race.
Mike Huckabee doesn’t know when to leave SNL.
Sound bite: “The media loves to throw around the term ‘mathematical impossibility.’ But nobody can explain to me exactly what that means.”

Mike and Chucks’ blooper reel:
Sometimes words aren’t enough when you support a candidate. These YouTubers say it in song.
“Huck ‘em All” — The World Metal Alliance shreds the roster of candidates and says Huckabee’s the man who can jam.
“Ba-Rock” — Obama’s the man “who says ‘Yes, we can.’ ”

“Yes We Can” — An earnest young singer from New York weighs in with his version of the Will.i.am “Yes We Can” tune.
Compared to the last Democratic debate, the Republican get-together in Boca Raton, FL last night was a downright lovefest. Here are the candidates’ views on Iraq:
Romney: “The plan that President Bush and General Petraeus put together is working.”
Giuliani: “America is in a war — an Islamic terrorist war against us. America has to succeed in Iraq.”
McCain: “It was worth getting rid of Saddam Hussein.”
Huckabee: “Just because you didn’t find every Easter egg didn’t mean that it wasn’t planted.”
MoveOn pulls three classic soundbites from the Republicans to motivate their tribe with the admonition: “We can’t let them win.” The bites: McCain says Americans don’t care if we’re in Iraq for 1,000 years. Romney says we ought to double Gitmo. And, of course, there’s Huckabee saying we should amend the Constitution to bring it sync with God.
Gallup looks at “highly religious Republicans” and, no surprise, they heart Huck. Giuliani, on the other hand, keeps losing their support; he’s down to a single digit in the church pews.
Mike Huckabee talks with MSNBC from South Carolina, which feels like home to him.
Sound & road kill bites: “I know how to eat grits… We know how to talk about eating fried squirrel.”
It gets better:

For what it’s worth.
