“huckleberry lost 90% of the Republicans with his CLOSE GITMO promise.”
You think so? So if Huckabee is sincere about closing Guantanamo, you’ll vote for Hillary in 08? This I’ve gotta see.
Huckabee is a fantastic politician (and without the benefit of millions of dollars for polling to see what he “should” be saying.) The real issue regarding Gitmo is not whether we detain at Gitmo or not, but whether he means that we should return to the Clinton-era policy of criminalizing terrorism, which was a disaster.
Until someone asks him that (and he WILL tell us if he’s asked) all the “close Gitmo” comment does is carve out more of the center’s votes for himself. And even some of Hillary’s if she tries to straddle the fence on the issue when she’s asked (which is probably a given....has she been asked?)
This poll includes post-debate numbers, so while I hope republicans will reject his call, there’s no real evidence of it right now.
