I want to puke after reading that!!

[meandog]

Well, I’m kinda glad they are tag teaming the Romulan but I’d rather see a McCain/Hunter ticket.

[Neu Pragmatist]

Romney is no better . Look up Romney’s record . A bunch of RINO’s .

Thompson or bust !

[Tlaloc]

Hopefully America will disagree.

[Tlaloc]

Thompson who?

Sorry, but some of us are not interested in flushing the country down the toilet because of the failure of some also-ran to break into double-digit support.

[BGHater]

Not too far removed from the Bush/Cheney 2000 ticket.

McCain the experience, defense, WOT and Huckabee the ‘Compassionate Conservative’.

[Tlaloc]

Exactly. It’s a recipe for success. 8 more years!

[org.whodat]

Huckabee/McCain 2008 - a strong ticket.

True, it would smell worse than a skunk.

[Neu Pragmatist]

Who are you supporting ?

[Petronski]

The headline makes it sound like this was a formal alliance. Alas, it is only tacit.

[maxter]

"A Rino and a Rino form alliance against a Rino."

Enter Fred Thompson.

[sopwith]

I would call the last eight years weak at best.
bush good on war and tax cuts. but lets see hanging with kennedy and McCain on domestic issues , and now he’s a global
warming nut. get real.

Obviously, Romney is seeking an alliance with the latest hope from Hope, too. He was definitely fishing when he said that Huckabee would make a great VP.

Both Romney and McCain will live to rue such a thought. They each have enough trouble of their own and Mike will not help them float their political boats.

In the mean time, I’ll stick with the conservative one.

[Tlaloc]

I like Duncan Hunter the most, but I would never stay at home and not vote just because my favorite candidate lost the nomination. I guess that’s just the difference between Hunterites and Fredheads.

[Neu Pragmatist]

Who said the Fredheads would sit it out ?

[ncphinsfan]

“Huckabee/McCain 2008 - a strong ticket.”

Oh, yeah, a strong ticket!

Higher taxes-check
Open borders-check
Shutting down free speech (Incumbent protection act)-check
History of ethical problems-check
Environmental lunacy-check
Compassionate conservatism (kiss up to the opposition and berate your own party)-check
Support our efforts in Iraq-half check (McCain)
Nanny state approach to government-check

Oh, yeah, that’s a great ticket! for whom?!

[Tlaloc]

True, all of us probably have some problems with Bush, but if you say we might as well have 8 years of Al Gore instead, then you are nuts.

One area where Huck is better than Bush is that Huck is against the Law of the Sea Treaty, which Bush supports. This treaty would turn control of the world's seabeds to the UN. Ronald Reagan was right to keep this UN treaty from becoming law.

[Tramonto]

Its an alliance that gives each of them the best chance to win the nomination. No reason to get nasty with another candidate if he can help you win.

If Huckabee wins Iowa, McCain will probably win NH. There is a good chance that the nomination would go to one of these two guys. If Mitt wins Iowa, he will probably win NH and the nomination.

Mccain/Huckabee 08

Tenemos un sueño

!AMNISTIA!

[Neu Pragmatist]

You are right . Although McPain will be stopped in SC and the south again . The odds will go to the Huckster or Fred .
