mHuckabee’s problem with conservatives is that he is another federal interventionist like Harriet Miers, whom President Bush tried and failed to put on the Supreme Court a few years ago. A strict constructionist view would have issues like abortion dealt with by the states. Huckabee likes a federal solution to abortion, even a constitutional amendment. The same for marriage as well. That puts him in hot water with conservatives just like Miers was in a few years back when the president backed away from her nomination.

Huckabee will not last much longer.

He doesn't have the organization and money to keep going.

Iowa was a fluke, just as it was when it nominated Pat Robinson.

Barring a last minute comeback by Rudy, I think it will come down to Romney and McCain.

So, I think conservatives need to look at that alternative very seriously.

There are problems with Romney, but the alternative is McCain, who holds the idea that he is never wrong!

Once in the office that he has sought all these years, McCain would be implacable, taking council from no one.

We could not even hold him in check with the concern about running for a second term, since at his age and declining health, he will not be able to do so.

I think either man would win the General election, since Romney won an election in Mass.

"come down to Romney and McCain."

Seems as if that is becoming the case.

I want Huck in because too many evangelical voters are suspicious of Romney and where will their votes end up.

McCain anyone?

Its time for tactical voting, political guerrila warfare and a clear “NO WAY MCCAIN” message from somewhere out there.

Vote everywhere for a candidate who will cause McCain to lose because that candidate is strongest in your state in relation to McCain.
