Alan Keyes may be Newt G. in a different color; too cerebral. But I do like him and the way he thinks. Appoint him Ambassador to the UN; he’d out-irk that ex-Democrat lady that Reagan sent to the UN. (Didn’t think I’d ever forget her name; that’s what four score and counting can do).

I’m looking for someone who will lead the country back to constitutional government.

That someone is not Huck. He is no fighter. He does not believe in securing the border. He believes in using government to enforce “compassion”.

He’s a Democrat, basically. He is what a Democrat would be if Christians were still allowed in that party. He and people like him are Republicans basically because the Dems have forced believers out of the party. So, he and they are welcome here in the GOP, but I don’t want to elect them president.

I agree and I am offended... not only for Palin... but because of the demonic attack on all Christians. Never doubt who is ultimately behind ALL of these attacks.

Palin is even less equipped and electable than the Huckster.

Small libertarians and independents aren't going to support Huckabee because of his fiscal liberalism, his wishy-washy leadership, & belief in the nanny-state.

Before you can win the general election, you have to win over your base. The base is not enthusiastic over Huckster as they are with Sarah, and Sarah will still pull in social conservative votes.

Saying that Sarah is unelectable is a crock and a cop-out. She has the conservative base locked up. Enthusiasm from the conservative base will pull in undecideds and independents, who by nature are bandwagoners, not people who hold deep political convictions.

Given the makeup of the ARK Senate and House and the fact that they gave us Clinton, maybe that type of Republican (coughRINOcough) is the only type that is electable there.

But all that is said of Palin (the image created by MSM) being unelectable is actually true of Huckabee. The guy is a joke. See his “still in the race, mathematical impossibility” appearance on SNL and tell me the guy is Presidential.

Ditto “neither.” We actually have a wonderful, albeit imperfect list which will narrow as the money comes or doesn’t come in: Governors Christie, McDonnell, Barbour and Daniels for openers. A lot can happen in a year or two.

I can't believe anyone would choose Nanny Huckabee over Palin.

You know, as much as I admonish people to remember there that there are tens of millions of people who don't remotely share their views and opinions, and when doing strategic and tactical electioneering you have to take them into account...

I truly can't fathom what would possess someone to support Huckabee. I don't know anyone who would remotely support Huckabee, and I don't know anyone who would know anyone who would support Huckabee. I don't know how I would even communicate with a Huckabee supporter, other than through hand gestures, grunts, and moans.

Another theme of mine is that polls (that at least are attempted to be scientific) are, by and large, pretty accurate. So Huckabee's current high poll numbers are likely real. I just can't fathom how or why. Huckabee is probably the one guy where I'd just stay home and not vote in 2012, out of sheer bewilderment.

I was around when Ronald Reagan was running the first time - they were much worse on him.

I was too, but I sure don't remember atacks on his children, or such low-blow personal attacks. She's also been hit on her gender.

You are very much correct when it comes to RINO attacks. Very similar, up until Reagan's convention speech of course. Lincoln did the same thing; he fought tooth and nail for a convention speech and won.

Not saying it's impossible, and I defend Palin almost daily, but somehow I don't see her as POTUS happening. I may change my mind as time passes and if she announces.

Between Huckabee and Palin? I don’t know why any freeper would support Huckabee but I can certainly see why freepers would support Palin.

He cannot raise money. He knows this.
I do not think he will even run.

I guess I won’t vote for anyone. If people are going to do a write in and allow Obama to win if they don’t get their way, I am going to stay home and say the hell with it.

You all want Obama, go for it.

Huck is as slick and weasely as Bubba, but he is a better Baptist.

Who do I choose? The huckster who raised taxes even more than clinton? The huckster who fights to get rapistists out of prison, just so they can kill? The huckster who is more concerned with himself than America. The answer is evident. NO HUCKSTER!!
