I’ll go with Blog Pimps for $400, Alex.
Rick Perry was applauded for his stands for state sovereignty on issues surrounding the border and on Obamacare. But few know or care) that Perry first passed a law allowing children of illegals to compete with others for in-state tuition rates if they successfully attended Texas government schools.
The point is not whether that wsa the right policy or not (it wasn’t), it is whether such things are equivalent to ceding “sovereignty”. It isn’t.
The problem with your theory is that they only give “favorable” press coverage to candidates that are unknown. Pawlenty, Santorum, and the Indiana boys will probably get lots of great press until they compete.
In other words, almost every candidate will get somewhat positive coverage until they are the inevitable.
Huckabee is a complete non-starter. If brainpower were TNT this goober couldn't even blow his nose. He is soft on crime, soft on illegal immigration, and soft headed.
If the GOP nominates him, they will deserve electoral defeat.
Big Government liberalism with a Christian face is not conservatism.
You exagggerate because you disagree. Shame on you. Huckabee does not, nor ever has belived in open borders.
How much are you willing to misstate the truth to defend Huckabee?
He was convicted of “aggravated robbery”, to those of you in Rio Linda “aggravated” usually means violence or the threat of violence accompanied the robbery and in this case he punched a woman in the head as he robbed her for $16 and a credit card.
Just so we are clear. You think all teenage criminals who carry a gun, but don’t use it, and punch somebody in the face deserve a 100+ year sentence?

Just how low are you willing to go to defend Huckabee?
And I think that eight felonies, attempts to harm courtroom bailiffs and guards, and his unrepentant nature and violent demeanor MORE than warranted a 100+ year sentence.
But I am not a soft hearted soft headed soft on crime ‘if you are forgiven by the Lord, you are pardoned by the State’ phony like Huckabee.
NO MORE RINO'S. Period.
“...sells nothing but snake oil promises...”
Yes but he has that inner fatso aspect to him that is just so charming.
If he can forego the selling part and get to GIVING AWAY the snake oil (and maybe some FREE CARS now and then!) the nomination is his.
He tried the used car giveaway approach in 2008, but that didn't work either......
You’re right. He’s ever much as in favor as border control as his bosom body Juan McCain. < / sarcasm >
There are more conservatives/Republicans in CA than any other state. Problem is their are even MORE government employed union or welfare grabbing Democrats there as well.
It would not surprise me if the MSM tries to prop up a well-known candidate like Romney during the primaries knowing that many conservatives and Christians will never vote for him if he gets the Republican nomination.
