Huckabee’s Milwaukee Bowl

ABC News’ Kevin Chupka reports: After his weekend in the Caymans, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee returned to a frosty Wisconsin and started his final push towards Tuesday’s primary with a little bowling, here in Milwaukee.

The governor and Mrs. Huckabee played as a team and racked up a score of 86.  The gathered media rotated into the game on two additional teams. Media One came up short with only 74 points, but Media Two, anchored by a tenth frame bowled by yours truly that saw two strikes, claimed the night’s victory with a score of 112.

Weather kept the adoring crowd to about 100, but they were no less vocal, cheering on their candidate and his wife, here at Olympic Lanes.

Next up for Huckabee, a criss-cross of the state, Monday, to make one last pitch, hoping to bowl over Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., here in Tuesday’s primaries.

I bet Hillary and Bill or Barack and his spouse could do a lot better than an 86. There is reason number 942 to vote democratic this year.

Mike Huckabee is just a Republican version of Jimmy Carter. And we all remember how that turned out, don’t we?

Mike Huckelberry Hound Dog and John McCain belong together. All they did was try to destroy the best candidate the Republican’s had in Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney was a fake and a loser. He outspent Huck 12 to 1 in Iowa and still lost. He bowed out early instead of fighting on for the people who were supporting him. Yet the Mormons still attack Huckabee even though Mitt sold them out. Pathetic and transparent. The Mormons are the real bigots, not the Christians.

To pt… “They” might out bowl them but only with the help of the super delegates, we have 3 liberals in the lead, Mike is our only choice for the conserative slot, too bad the word conservative is being redefined by all the talking heads, what happened to disernment and independent thinking. I say go Mike Huckabee!!!!1
