"It's not over yet!"
That's the battle cry for conservatives and Christians who join forces to back Mike Huckabee for President.
The group is forming a political action committee to espouse their views, but mainly to keep Huckabee afloat against the rising tide of a John McCain GOP presidential nomination, against what they see as the will of party bosses.
"They come in and they decide that they're just basically going to tell us our marching orders," PAC member Rob Hurlburt says.
The group says a Huckabee win in the March 4th Texas Primary would send a clear message to the party's mainstream to return to the conservative and Christian values of the Reagan Revolution nearly 30 years ago.
For his own part, Hurlburt also says it would be a swipe at Governor Rick Perry's support of Rudy Giuliani, and then McCain, for the presidential nomination, both men holding pro-choice stances on abortion.
Former state representative Rick Green says a victory for the former Arkansas governor could help deny McCain the necessary 1,191 Republican delegates he needs for the nomination before the GOP Convention in Minneapolis this September, triggering a wild floor fight between conservatives and moderates in the way Ronald Reagan's 1976 bid to unseat President Gerald Ford nearly succeeded.
"We'll have a lot of fun, and we may walk away with a conservative at that convention," Green tells reporters this afternoon.
