Shades of Hillary's VRWC . . .
Mike Huckabee went on Morning Joe today and toyed with suggesting a "conspiracy" composed of the "Washington power circles" was out to get him. At 7:41 AM ET, the former Arkansas governor was discussing his efforts in South Carolina with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.

Huck sees a VRWC ping to Today show list.
What really annoys me about this guy is that he is the candidate the liberals want the GOP to have at the top of the ticket. Anybody that they endorse is a nobody to me.
I’ll stick with Romney/Thompson.
He’s out of his mind and pulling out all stops!
He gets the MOST coverage by the LEFT.
The LEFT loves him.
The problem is conservatives are figuring out his lying hypocrisy and fleeing him.
“What really annoys me about this guy is that he is the candidate the liberals want the GOP to have at the top of the ticket. Anybody that they endorse is a nobody to me.

Exactly!
Me too!
Thompson/Romney. There, fixed it.
The NEA endorsed Huck too. Bad endorsement for a GOP candidate...
Right out of the Clinton play book.
Don’t worry, Huck...the Libs love you. If you were to have illicit affairs with your staffers and interns, they’d love you even more.
There is a conspiracy by Huckabee to fill his campaign with RINO agitators. First he hired Ed Rollins, who worked for uber-RINO Christine Whitman. Then he hired Jim Pinkerton, the gay Republican and Log Cabin activist.
He’s very nervous about SC. I think he’s beginning to believe now that Iowa was his peak, and it hurts.
Romney/Thompson seems to be a growing consensus here on FR.
Personally, I think it would be a sure winner. I even wrote to Mitt’s campaign about this.
The question is, would Fred accept a VP position? He has said that he is not interested in a VP slot...but that’s what all Pres. candidates must say while they’re still candidates.
How about a Romney/DeMint ticket?
I forgot...Huck also called Brian Kilmeade a wuss.
If you find fault with this guy on any issue then you are labled a member of a, and I really don’t want to say this, conspiracy group that is against him!
Huckabee is right...Romney is related to Bush. And they are all Harvard grads. It’s not that difficult to figure out and not really sinister unless you hate uneven receding hairlines.That said...I think Romney is the bad seed.
I would not call it a conspiracy, but there are a lot of groups pouring it on Huckabee these days. Much more than they are any other candidates. Obviously, they was to get their boy Romney nominated, so they need to kill of his opponents one by one. Huckabee in SC and McCain in FL. Then it will be Mitt against Rudy on Super Tuesday. For all of the Thomspon supporters, no I did not forget him, he just is not in the picture.
“Conspiracy”, “Out to get him”. Reminiscent of Perot isn’t it.
He’s channeling Olberman.
Are the Republicans conspiring to ruin his daughter’s wedding?
What led Huck to call Brian a wuss? Did Brian say if you mean that I don’t go out and hang dogs, that makes me a wuss?
It’s not a conspiracy, Huck. We just don’t like, trust or believe you.
This from the same interview:
Huckabee spoke to MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough from Columbia, SC, saying enthusiastically, “South Carolina’s a great place for me. I mean, I know how to eat grits and speak the language. We even know how to talk about eating fried squirrel and stuff like that, so we’re on the same wavelength.”
“Mika, I bet you never did this,” Huckabee went on, addressing Mika Brzezinski. “When I was in college, we used to take a popcorn popper, because that was the only thing they would let us use in the dorm, and we would fry squirrels in a popcorn popper in the dorm room.”

Huck, you might not want to blame your upcoming loss in SC on the big conspiracy. It might be that you just don’t speak the same language as those in SC now. Kind of demeaning to your fellow southerners - they eat grits and fry squirrels. Ya know, there are actually grocery stores in the South now :)
A conspiracy implies something hidden. I suggest the effort to stop him is out in the open, lol.
LOL. I forgot that one! Just remember: measure twice, cut once ;-)
Shades of Ross Perot. Not surprising....
LOL, he’s turning into Kucinich faster than even I expected!
Huckabee: I don’t want to use the word “Metamucil”, but I just did …
Huckabee: I don’t want to use this negative ad you see, but I just did …
Huckabee: I don’t want to use this cross behind me, but I just did …
I could go one but I just don’t want to …
That’s actually a great point. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s just people exercising their First Amendment freedoms!
If Thompson played Lyndon to McCain’s Jack, I might be able to push that button except that I don’t think Fred has it in him to finish a reprise of that surprise outcome.
Me, too.
Huck seems like a MSNBC kind of a guy. I will bet Olberdorque will not name him the worst person on the face of the earth or whatever he calls his ridicule like he did for Fred.
Pinkerton from Fox News Watch?
I was half-listening but I think they asked him what name he would call them, as McCain jokingly called them “jerks” last week.
Ask him about the missing strawberries.
Well, he's also gotten a couple of union endorsements and an NEA endorsement. Those are huge red flags for me.
The consensus on FR has consistently been for Fred. And Fred has specifically stated he would not accept a VP slot, and he just doesn’t play the word games other candidates may play - he said it and he meant it, so forget that.
Can somebody get some tin foil for Mr. Huckabee!
Lathrop's fame, more than his life, continues to this day. His direct descendants in America including U.S. Presidents Ulysses S. Grant, Franklin D. Roosevelt, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, Governors Mitt Romney and George W. Romney, Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, Benedict Arnold, President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Vice President Henry A. Wallace, Jane Stanford, wife of the founder of Stanford University and inventor Eli Whitney, among others.
In his speech after the Michigan primary, Huck pulled a page from Hillary telling supporters to make sure they bring their friends and family to vote for him. As long as they were going to vote for him. If they were going to vote for someone else he suggested flattening their tires. A very unpresidential joke.
I’m just about to eat my lunch! Cut it out!!!
What a dirty trick, bringing up his record!
It was a light-hearted remark, prompted by the fact that Brian (who apparently is a vegetarian) would not eat a "Huckleburger".
Nothing to see here folks.....
Yep.
I’d vote THOMPSON/Romney. NO way in heck will I vote the other way around.
