If Huckabee fizzles, his followers will be looking for another prolife evangelical to fill the void. Hunter fits that bill, no one else in the race is evangelical.
The GOP doesn’t get it. They need to let this faction find a home. The amount of invective aimed at evangelicals is surprising, but then everyone wants their votes.
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.
Prolife evangelicals will be very comfortable in Hunter’s camp, since he’s a prolife evangelical staunch conservative.

On Poll Results and the End of Conservatism

Yes, for liberals and those who want another Jimmah Carter for prez.
Mike Huckabee supported Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty that failed in the US Senate and was rejected by a large majority of Americans. He stated that those who opposed the legislation are “driven by racism or nativism.”
Setting aside their opinions of Huckabee, when have they ever been wrong about the public policy issues we all care so much about??
You sound like one of those multi-level marketing hucksters with their "new paradigm" cons: "Forget your common sense life experiences that would make you think I'm trying to sell you on a losing pyramid scheme, learn to think differently and it will all make sense."
Sure. Whatever you say. He's still an unappealing liberal.
Mike Huckabee is Bill Clinton without the bimbos.
According to Coulter, the former Arkansas Governor believes sodomy is protected by the Constitution.
He responded to my column last week — pointing out that he is on record supporting the Supreme Court’s sodomy-is-a-constitutional-right decision — by saying that he was relying on the word of a caller to his radio show and didn’t know the details of the case. Ironically, that’s how most people feel about sodomy: They support it until they hear the details.
I don’t want a president who constantly sides with illegal aliens, frees felons and has no clue on foreign policy. You’re only telling half the story.
When asked whether the U.S. should take any action to kill Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, Huckabee replied: “The U.S. should not kill Saddam Hussein or anyone else.” The U.S. military captured Saddam, an Iraqi court convicted him and he was hanged last December.
Governor Huckabee should run for Senate instead.
We might just take the Senate back if he ran against Pryor.
And today he promised free college tuition for national service. John Kerry promised the same thing in 2004. Huckabee sounds like the clear choice for the dem nomination.
As Arkansas governor, he believed a rapist was “saved” and pushed for his release, officials say. The man then killed.
By Richard A. Serrano, Times Staff Writer
Pastor Jay D. Cole had two close friends. One was an inmate in the Arkansas state penitentiary. There, the minister would sit with Wayne DuMond “and pray and read the Bible.” For a while, the prisoner’s wife even lived in Cole’s home.
Cole’s friendship with Mike Huckabee ran deeper, back to when Huckabee was the youngest-ever head of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention. The two men produced Bible lessons on videotape. “We worked heavily with him when he got politically involved too,” Cole said.
A little over 10 years ago, the paths of these three men merged in Little Rock, the state capital, when Huckabee was the new governor. With Cole’s urging, and with DuMond insisting he was “born again,” Huckabee played a key role in setting free a rapist who was supposed to serve many more years, say three of seven members of the state board that paroled DuMond.
After being released, DuMond moved to Missouri, where less than a year later he suffocated the (sic) mother of three in a Kansas City suburb. Police suspect that he killed another woman there as well.
I assume you mean...
the mitigating circumstances surrounding his oversight of a 65% of Arkansas state spending.
Or was it the mitigating circumstances surrounding his opposition to the school vouchers proposed by his own appointed commission.
Or was it the mitigating circumstances surrounding the 1100 criminals he got out of jail.
Or was it the mitigating circumstances surrounding the label he gave to his own party members of "Shi'ite Republicans" when they opposed his tax increases.
Or was it the mitigating circumstances surrounding his support of Democrats against Republicans in state races.
Or was it the mitigating circumstances surrounding his support of multiple increases in taxes.
I know, he's gettin a bum rap. Poor Mr. Mike.
I would decided to do myself a favor and set aside the rhetoric of Mike Huckabee, thank you very much.
That alone disqualifies the Huckster from getting my vote.
