EXCLUSIVE: Long Island Huckabee Supporter Says It’s Time for Republicans to 'Fall in Love'
An active Mike Huckabee supporter from Long Island said that the results of the West Virginia convention should be viewed as a wake-up call for Republicans. “Republicans fall in line. It’s time for Republicans to fall in love with their candidate,” said Robert Collorafi of Amityville who identified himself as the assistant organizer of the Long Island Mike Huckabee for 2008 Meet-up Group.
The first Super Tuesday election results from West Virginia came in earlier today with good news for Mike Huckabee. He won all 18 delegates in that state’s convention. McCain, who wanted to block a possible Romney victory, gave all of his support to Huckabee, according to various news reports.
Robert Collorafi ,who teaches band at Lynbrook North Middle School, is half of a father-son team of supporters for the GOP candidate for president. His son Peter Collorafi, a college student at Suffolk University, makes up the other half. When asked why he supports Huckabee, Peter Collorafi said, “Governor Huckabee can appeal to all people.”
Robert said he believes that Huckabee “takes time to speak to you one- on-one”. He said that, unlike the other presidential candidates, Huckabee is a “main street Republican”. He said that he believes people would want to “vote for a guy you can work with rather than a guy who will fire you.”
