I have a news flash for you, all politicians, and most human beings, change positions.

The problem with Huckabee is he has completely changed direction in the coarse of a few months.

That is also the problem with Mitt. Changing a position before a Presidential election is telling.

Don’t like Mitt with my soul either. At least he is less of a slime ball than F Huckabee. Thompson if you please for me, but guli”Annie” nope... F Huckabee double nope...

Yeah the man from Kolob needs to return to Massachusetts. Since when has anything elected in Massachusetts been worth electing to national office?

Exactly. We have until Thursday and 46% of GOP caucus goers say they are open to changing their minds. That is a good sign. It still sucks seeing Huck and Mitt on top but let us remember Dean was riding high around this time. It wasn’t till the till a late surge during the caucus week did Kerry and Edwards come out on top. Then we had the Dean scream and the whole Dean Machine fell apart as the bubble gum and rage that held it together dissolved into the nasty mess it was from the beginning.

Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and he’s got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

Why the smart money is on Duncan Hunter

In this poll Hunter is up 3% and even with Paul and Thompson.
