Supporting a candidate against their own best interest...

Conservative black leaders endorse Huckabee
GOP presidential hopeful and former preacher attends MLK event in Ga.

Huckabee's focus turns South
After his South Carolina loss, Huckabee needs strong showings in states such as Florida, Georgia and Alabama to keep his campaign alive. He went to Orlando for a late-afternoon rally and fundraiser Monday and planned to return to Atlanta Tuesday for an anti-abortion event.

"Winning Florida would be great," Huckabee told an Orlando airport crowd of about 100, speaking of the state's Jan. 29 GOP primary. But winning the nomination is the bigger goal, he said. "Nobody is going to have this wrapped up by Florida," he said.

"We plan on carrying Georgia," Huckabee told reporters.

After leaving the King ceremony, Huckabee was endorsed by three dozen African-Americans, most of them connected to conservative religious organizations.

Huckabee's strong opposition to abortion and gay marriage matches the "high moral values" of many black Americans, said William Owens, founder of a group called the Coalition of African American Pastors.

3. They've fallen into the same Republican Jesus trap

as all those poor white Baptists in the Bible Belt. The whole bunch, black & white, are voting against their own interests.

4. Bigotry doesn't have a melanin-level limit.

5. If people in this country voted their self-interest we

wouldn't have had to put up with two terms of Bush. It wouldn't have been close enough to steal in the first place.

6. These are the people that Rangel should call dumb and stupid, imo.

Not Obama.

7. The Huckster's support in the African-American community...

...should not be underestimated. There's a reason he was the only Repug candidate who made any sort of gesture to MLK Day: he understands the importance of the support he's getting from conservative African-American groups.

I personally know about ten African-Americans who support him. OK, that's hardly a Rasmussen exit poll, but it shocks me everytime someone new says, "that Huckabee guy makes a lot of sense."

10. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. I believe it though. The longer I live, the

more I wonder about it all.

8. Why not?

A bunch of people here and in the Democratic party support Hillary, and that's against their own interest too!

9. Not going there

The worst Democrat is better than the best republicon any day any year any election.
