I am having fun reading the fury on this site over Huckabee's surge. I may not agree with many of his positions but I think the guy can win BIG in a national election. He comes across as a warm guy and Republicans need one of those.

The sad reality for conservatives is Huckabee's view of the role of government is shared by a majority of voters.

This "nanny state" position is the fatal flaw of democracy. Universal suffrage ultimately results in the majority looking to take money away from the productive people and give it to the unproductive.

I agree with enjoying the fury of Huckabee! What tantrums! The truth is with the economy starting to struggle, I can’t think of a better candidate to win in 2008. He comes across well on TV and seems to be the best retail politician running in either party. He is definitely able to reach out better to the middle class who is having a difficult time paying the bills with high gas and food prices. All of our candidates have flaws but Huckabee with his ability to communicate to the electorate will win the day if given the chance.
