McStain? What's he going to say, "Vote for me, I didn't get indicted for the Keating 5 scandal?" Vote for me, my fondest wish of open gates and amnesty for illegals didn't get passed?"

He's run his campaign almost exclusively on the war and spending. Conservatives can rally around those two, plus he's okay on guns and life.

Huckabee? Yeah, that's it

Say what you will, but Huck's solid on God, gays, guns, and abortion. He's also been attacking the Nanny State.... even though he proposed a national smoking ban. Yeah, he's a funny one.

McCain may have a pro life voting record, but he demonstrated his true abortion postion when he orchistrated the gang of fourteen. Pro-life votes really only matter in light of helping conservative judicial appointments. McCain did more for the pro abortion movement in that instance than all the other RINOs combined.

I don’t see conservatives rallying around a gang of fourteen, Pro Gay marriage, Al Gore global warming, admitted failure to enforce the border candidate. I will agree with you on on thing, though. The Huckster is miles more conservative than McCain.

You know, if we had a calm and peaceful world then the entire election would be about social issues and the economy. I'm basically with Huckabee on the social issues. Period. He's a HUGE nanny-stater himself, and his distancing of himself from that position and record is akin to McStain's claim that he's for strong controls over our borders - i.e. it is mere pandering for votes and a lie. He's also very soft on illegal immigration - as bad as McStain and Rudy.

However, the world is not so calm and peaceful. We have important issues here at home, to be sure, but NONE of them will result in the sudden death of hundreds of thousands or more of us in an instant. Foreign and defense affairs are critical, and on these issues Huckabee is simply a zero. Note that he's head and shoulders above any of the Dems, as they will positively do harm, but this is not the time to be electing a novice in those areas, no matter who he surrounds himself with. There is another Republican who is at least 95% as good as Huckabee on the social issues, and who also isn't a nanny-stater, soft on immigration or a novice on foreign/defense affairs: Fred Thompson.
