Texas Changes Everything?

Adam Graham has some good words to say about the upcoming Texas primary in which Huckabee could change things with a win in TX and a solid turnout it OH.

Huckabee Plays Defense

I read a very interesting article on February 20th that pointed out the campaign of Mike Huckabee was in trouble, as it hadn’t won a state since February 9th, a whopping 11 days prior over a span that included five primaries.

...

Huckabee has said winning Texas changes everything, and it does. A win in Texas will make McCain’s job of getting to 1191 harder for McCain to do before the convention. McCain has heretofore done very well in Blue States. After March 4th, the only Blue States remaining to vote are Pennsylvania and Oregon. On the other hand, Red States abound: Mississippi, Indiana, North Carolina, Nebraska, Kentucky, Idaho, New Mexico, and South Dakota. A Huckabee win in Texas gives rise to the hope of political junkies the nation over, a brokered convention, a real convention in Minneapolis in September, along with a real debate over the party’s future.


Original story continues here.

If Huckabee does indeed win Texas and finish strong in Ohio too, there will be no doubt that he is still in this race to the finish. He could very easily take this race to a brokered convention as he continues to get his message of change and a love for America out to the world.
