Even though I am not a Mike Huckabee supporter, I do admire his tenacity as a candidate in this 2008 Presidential Campaign. He truly has an attitude of "It's not over until the fat lady sings." He may not win the Republican nomination, but he has definitely made his mark.
A similar attitude paid off for the Utah Jazz the other night in a game where they only scored 11 points in the first quarter. They just kept trudging along and ended up winning the game.
The Super Bowl upset with the New York Giants scoring a touchdown in the last 35 seconds of the game to win over the favored New England Patriots is another example of what can happen when one refuses to accept defeat.
Obviously there will be times when even our persistence and best effort won't result in a "win" as it may not be for Mike Huckabee. Yet, when one has been persistent in giving one's all, failure is not the result, no matter what the outcome. We have examples of people such as Thomas Edison and Abraham Lincoln who have taught us that.
