3.8% REAL INCOME GROWTH... 4.7% FULL EMPLOYMENT... 177,000 new jobs added... Market back in high 13.600 range (above), ARM mortgages are being kept current in 94% of ALL ARM loans out (Rush Limbaugh) and Consumers are spending for Christmas in a way that is spotlighting all of the economic lies of the media... but huck is a liberal and you sound just like george stephanopolis... but then you are a huckster person!

The surge by the former Arkansas governor has come with support from evangelicals, Southerners and conservatives, and largely at the expense of former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, according to the national survey by The Associated Press and Ipsos.

Nope. They came from Rooty. Fred’s downturn seems to be split between McCain and Romney.

The gain for huck is virtually identical to the loss for rooty. It is right down to the exact day. I ran the numbers through Excel and the graph from the last week of November to Friday 7 Dec is VERY obvious.

I wonder what agenda the author of this has?

You are exactly correct.

Fred reminds me of that dead parrot in the Monty Python skit.

Rooty has more trouble with his zipper than Slick.

McLame is insane and disloyal.

Romney is the annointed Bush candidate who will guarantee victory for the witch, by turning off the Evangelicals, who are THE most important part of the Republican base.

Huckabee is the man.

>> Now, ask yourself how Huckabee would handle it?

It’s easy to see how Huckaboo would handle /anything/.

Just envision how Clinton or Obama or Edwards would handle it, and there you have it.

NEWS FLASH — this will be true of abortion and gay marriage also! Do you think for an instant that this disingenuous “aw shucks” moron won’t get rolled by the Dims on EVERY — and I do mean EVERY — topic?

The Pubs will be the lesser party for their poor choices if they choose the Huckster over a good many like Romney, the only one amongst the first tier candidates who actually lives a conservative lifestyle.

I just can't believe they are passing up a good and successful person like Mr. Romney, who showed the other day that he is willing to lead. Unbelievable. What are these people thinking.

With his vibrant young children and beautiful wife, Fred Thompson is the whole package of conservatism.

Have you ever thought of writing novels?

I don't doubt your Excel charts, but what you say makes no logical sense what so ever.

What I think we are seeing is the fight for dominance in the Republican party.

Rudy supporters have, and always will be WOT, and Security Conservatives. They are the security moms looking for a Leader. They want someone who will not back down from the terrorists, and will NEVER be appeasers to the "politically correct". They may be social conservatives, but have decided that in this election, those issues must take a back seat to our Nations dominance in the WOT. They may want abortion and gay marriage illegal, but when that day comes, they want to Thank God, and not praise alah.

Hucks supporters, are the opposite, they see the Nation as a failure if they fail to protect the most innocent among us, the unborn. They are willing to overlook his weakness in security issues, as long as he is a strong social conservative.

It is the fight we have been seeing on this very board since the beginning, with one exception, for some reason the social conservatives seem to have chosen Huckabee as their savior, as opposed to the conventional wisdom here, that it would be Fred.

Fred is now saying that Iowa is make or break for his campaign, this after months of hearing that Iowa and New Hampshire didn't matter. I hardly think that Fred is going after Rudy voters, he is going after Huck. Who will win remains to be seen, but I don't think that the Huck voters (regardless of your charts) originally came from Rudy, they came straight from Mitt, and Fred. They were looking for the best Social Conservative, not the best WOT, Security Conservative.

It is easy, because it is true, Fred is one of the most complex, unique men since Ronald Reagan.

Mike Huckabee is a nice guy.

But the one thing that drives me nuts, and this is certainly petty and juvenile on my part, is his how is one eye turns out and does NOT match the other eye.

It’s so petty that I’m sort of embarrassed to even mention it. But I can’t help it. IT IS DISCONCERTING.

I always envision a US President who has that ability to look squarely into the eyes of the US or the World with a sense of power and respect.

Unfortunately, Huckabee’s eyes just don’t do it for me.

Oh good Lord, not another one of those “Only good if married once” folks...

I guess you think Reagan was a horrible man too.

Funny and ironic really, since Mitt seems to be real determined to wear his mantle.

Now that he is trying to run as a conservative that is...

Nominate (Huckabee), and its over for republicans in 08.

From your lips to Iowa voters' ears, my friend.

I can't understand the attraction in Huckabee.

Nice enough guy, and yes conservative on many issues.

But puhleeze -- can we just admit (begrudgingly) that it DOES take someone with some charizma... with some spunk ... with some personality ...ESPECIALLY in this ramped up world of TV sound bites and YouTube papparazzi.

Republicans must nominate the most conservative candidate possible -- but one with the ability to attract that mushy middle voter who is waiting for a gregarious personality to tickle their political fancy.

Romney fits that bill better than anyone else, I am convinced.

Is he perfect? No.

But he is as conservative as we can get and STILL have a reasonable chance of defeating the sHrillary/Obama drive-by machine.

Rudy would split the GOP, and would be a disaster.

McCain is too old (sorry John) and unstable. Fred likewise is too stodgy and slow, despite his folksy southern charm.

Hunter is the most rock-ribbed conservative candidate out there, but his personality just doesn't do it for the Republican base (sorry Duncan, but the polls bear me out).

Which is why ROMNEY is the best chance the GOP has ... and in would help the GOP sweep in state and local office-holders, I am certain.

What I have read on him causes me to believe he is a true conservative and than many of the charges laid against him are lies or greatly exagerated. The main stream media hates him and that is always a good sign that he is indeed a conservative of moral and ethical values.

I am a Catholic, and I think that you have forgot one of the Catholics primary "rules" is abstinence before marriage.

If I remember correctly, Fred's first marriage (divorce is also a no - no) was a "shot gun marriage."

I think the best thing ALL conservatives could do right now is skip the "who is the most Christian" conversation, because obviously it will lead no where.

Our leading candidates have 3 divorcees (Rudy x 2, Fred, and McCain), and two with life long marriages (Huck and Romney), we also have a fallen Catholic, a Mormon, and a Preacher. Who wins with this conversation? The Dems!!!!!!
