It was a very busy day for the three remaining republican candidates...With Huckabee and McCain stopping in...And Ron Paul's son in Wichita representing his father...All camps were pushing hard for support in Kansas, just hours before republicans here caucus.
Three very different candidates...One very similar message....send them to the White House.
"We are the real conservatives in the race because we don't have one, we're it," said Robert Paul, Ron Paul's son.
"We can win in Kansas," said John McCain, republican presidentail candidate.
"We start here in Kansas on the way to winning," said Mike Huckabee, republican presidential candidate.
On the eve of the republican caucus in Kansas...Candidates made one last attempt to ramp up support.
Huckabee was first in town...Speaking to an energetic crowd on everything from his pro-life stance to fair taxes.
"Our government has a bunch of politics that work against us rather than for us and we're in trouble in large part because we have a completely outdated tax system that we need to overthrow and replace with the fair tax," said Huckabee.
Huckabee has barely left wichita when john mccain showed up...With friend and supporter Senator Sam Brownback in tow.
McCain touched on the need for better health care for veterans...But also pushed local issues...Like the importance of Wichita's aviation business.
"We know the most productive workers in America are right here in Wichita Kansas and I will open up every maket in the world for the products that are made here," said McCain.
He also stressed his desire to support the troops...But touched on the importance of staying in iraq to win the war.
"I will never surrender," said McCain.
Finally, while Ron Paul didn't make it into town...His son, Robert, was here to represent his father.
"We're going to campaign until the money's gone, so they're not going to get rid of us I don't think," said Paul.
Paul also spoke to the growing support in Kansas...And says he feels the caucus results will show a strong number of Paul supporters.
But as republians prepare to caucus...Many say they're just pleased Kansas is finally getting noticed.
"This is a real election, it's not just one sided and both sides are paying attention to everywhere, not just where they need support," said Drew Perry, an East High student attending the McCain rally.
