Huckabee: "Hijack your church's bus, whatever you've got to do to get people to vote for me"
Candidates enter last full day of campaigning
For Democrats and Republicans, race in Iowa is too close to call

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22470054/



Most surveys show Clinton in a close and fluid three-way contest in Iowa with rivals Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards. Those surveys also have identified a large group of activists who have yet to settle on a candidate or who say they could still change their minds.

Clinton's rivals were not ceding the airwaves. Obama also was to air a two-minute ad during the evening news programs. Edwards bought a full-page ad in the Des Moines Register featuring a testimonial from a laid-off Maytag plant worker, who also was appearing in a one-minute TV spot to begin airing Wednesday.

On the Republican side, two former governors, Mike Huckabee of Arkansas and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, are vying to finish first in Iowa.

Amid murmurs of "Amen!" at a pizza parlor in Sergeant Bluff, Huckabee urged hundreds: "Don't go alone. Take people with you. Fill up your car. Rent a van. Hijack your church's bus, whatever you've got to do to get people to the caucus who are going to vote for me."

1. Hijack? Huckabee's "sense of humor" is inappropriate and dangerous
for the world stage.

2. Typical republicon values
Edited on Wed Jan-02-08 08:16 AM by SpiralHawk
crime is okay, smirk, as long as you and your republicon cronies benefit...

But Hucksterbee -- though seemingly making a jest -- has, under burgeoning republicon homelander philosophy, already committed a Thoughtcrime


"To suggest it is to have thought it. To have thought it is a crime."

- Republicon Homelander Totalitarians
