MANCHESTER, N.H.—Mike Huckabee gave it his all this morning to sway one voter -- even pouring coffee for him -- to no avail.
Outside the Brookside Congregational Church, Huckabee waded into crowd to greet voters on their way into the polling place.
He ran into Joe Legay, 70, and asked who Legay who was voting for.
"I'm independent," Legay said, ducking the question.
"So I have one more chance, what can I do? Can I pour you coffee?" Huckabee asked,then poured him a cup of coffee from a doughnut shop coffee container. "Where else than in New Hampshire does a candidate come out and personally pour coffee?"
Then again, he asked Legay how he would vote.
"I'm independent so I have to be quiet," Legay said, apparently not wanting to hurt Huckabee's feelings, because as Huckabee moved on, he told a reporter he was voting for Democrat Barack Obama.
"My suggestion is that if he makes it, then Edwards should be his vice president," Legay said.
