I then decided to go for Mike Huckabee because of those who can actually win in the general election (McKennedy, Abortiani, and Huck), Huck is the most conservative.

Then you are doubly deluded, my Michigan friend.

First, Huckabee is easily the most unelectable candidate I have seen given serious consideration by either major party in my 45 years of adult life. If the Republicans are suicidal enough to nominate this guy, he will lose all 50 states and the District of Columbia, the Democrats will bring in a 67 seat majority in the Senate and a 100 seat advantage in the House of Representatives. There will be no conservative judge appointed to the federal bench at any level for the next eight years, at least.

Second, Huckabee is easily the most liberal of all the possible nominees under consideration this year. He is an extreme left wing candidate in a pro-life cloak. If he is nominated conservatives all over the country will stay home on election day. I know I will. There is NO WAY I would ever cast a vote in favor of the death of everything I believe in just because it promises to be slightly slower than the alternative death I am promised by the other Party.

You may be sincere in your position, but I tell you you are sincerely deluded.

Do you consider yourself a prophet, John?

#59...Good post and i totally agree...If Huckabee is nominated, we will see a Repblican defeat even worse than the shelacking Bob Dole took when he ran against Clinton in 1996.

>>”You may be sincere in your position, but I tell you you are sincerely deluded.””<<

Again, thinking the same about you.

Why not try actually listening to what Huckabee is saying instead of buying into all the tripe spread around this site about him?

He’s a better communicator day after day (not just during one debate, as with Romney in NH, but not in SC, or Thompson in SC, but nowhere else) and what he’s advocating, and equally important what he’s not advocating, is quite conservative both socially and economically.

Without dredging up the accusations coming from Arkansas enemies, show me where I’m wrong. In other words, quote Huckabee in a debate, on TV, or at a rally saying something that you find so perversely liberal. Please.
