i don't get the connection that he's trying to make here. how is allowing gay marriage a way of 'destroying families'?? and then i read this guy is one of the leading candidates for the republican nom for president???
yeah, obama will get four more if they can only find people like huck and sarah to vie for office.

[Antitrust32]

If huckabee gets the nod them i'm voting Dem for the first time ever.

[SOREHOOF]

I'll take Romney over Huck anyday.

I think Christie is starting to be a little toxic around the edges on his union stuff, too. He has guaranteed he won't run (I know, politics... )

It will be Romney, unless, as it is pretty much a guaranteed loss, they let a cultural wingnut go through the motions. Which would be Huckabee. The base won't back Mormon Romney, they think Mormon Glenn Beck is okay, but Mormon Romney is in a cult

It's like they lined every potential GOP Pres candidate up, asked who wanted to run against Obama, and every one of them is taking a step back.

Will be an interesting Iowa. Romney is skipping Iowa, I'll say.

Christie is, by far, the best of them. He's makes a good first impression. The more times you see him talk, the more you realize he's both condescending and vengeful. Yes, most Republicans are that way (charismatic,or not,) but they don't beat charismatic Democratic Presidential Candidates (Kennedy, Clinton, Obama.) They do beat bores (Gore, Dukakis, Kerry.) It would be a very close election. Christie would rather go against a lesser candidate. Romney is not charismatic, and he's condescending. He will lose. Palin will lose. Huckabee will lose. Pawlenty will lose. Trump will lose. Rudy will lose. Rubio will lose. Old Libertarian will lose.

It would be so awesome if politicians kept their bedroom thoughts to themselves and let the public do the same. Just cause I wouldnt want my husband(if I had one) to do me up the butt it wouldnt mean that if some wife wanted it I would come out in my political platform and say it was wrong or gross. For once it would be nice to see someone running for office not say jack about religion or peoples sex lives.

i really don't know much about him...just find it odd the biggest knock i hear against him is that he belongs to a cult. at least he isn't a muslim, non citizen like obama...


and people wonder why decent folks don't run for office. it's ridiculous. really, i couldn't care less what your religion might be, or whether you have one at all. i'd prefer an atheist to someone saying god told me to do_____. that's always spooked me, folks thinking god told them to do something. hey, maybe god could tell them to shut the hell up and go away! yet, that never seems to happen...


religion is just an excuse to mind other peoples business. someone said that, or something to that effect. so true.

so stop voting for politicians that make a point of their religion and what happens in other people's bedrooms.

huckabee's raised no money and probably can't until palin takes herself out of the race. however much social conservative's love palin all she's doing is cock blocking anyone who agrees with her. until she makes the inevitable announcement that she's going to remain a media bomb thrower and isn't actually running herself huckabee freezes in her shadow.

Obama in a landslide in 2012.

like he said, unless he knows he can win, he's not sure he wants to try.

huck, you can't win. i'd rather avoid his tv show-easy to do-than see his mug on tv for months as a candidate. and palin as well, who said this recently:

"Nobody is more qualified really to multitasking and doing all the things you need to do as a president than a woman and as a mom."—speaking to the Long Island Association at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, New York, Thursday, Feb. 17, 2011.

Ron Paul is getting the nomination. Mormon Jesus, Fat Gingrich, Saint Bernard Power Breeder, and Ditch Entrails will not.

deeply offended that Huckabee is mentioned in the same post as Wingnut

[somerfrost]

The best thing President Obama has going for him is the pathetic nature of the GOP candidates...then again, it's very early in the process.

[Danzig]

the really sad part is we haven't had a really good candidate in years. look at the last elections, look who's gotten their party's nominations. kerry, gore, bush? mccain...we've had some really bad noms to choose from...
