McCain shouldn't consider Huckabee for ANY job, anytime, anyplace.

Talk about being desperate...get a life!

What? I just posted a straight news story concerning Huckabee. What is desperate about that?

He might even consider giving both of his kidneys and a nice fried squirrel for the job.

Upon further review, I get it. You were talking about Huck wanting to be Veep, not me posting the article. Overly sensitive I am.

I’m increasingly confident that Romney won’t be nominated. He’ll probably serve on McCain’s cabinet should McCain become President, perhaps Secretary of the Treasury. And don’t worry, it’s increasingly clear that the Tom Ridge speculation was a publicity stunt.

Don Carcieri has a lot of good qualities- conservative, Catholic, ethnic (not sure what ethnicity, I think he’s part Italian), record of winning cross-over votes. I wish McCain had considered him more seriously. You’ve spoken of him highly, as well. There’s still time and hope, IMHO.

I am currently fixated on a much-overlooked part of the electorate. They are moderate independents who voted for Gore and Kerry reluctantly, but cringe at Obama. I’m surprised no one has spoken of this group. Many, though far from all, are Jewish. And I think this group could be swung into the Republican column without McCain or the party moving to the left. McCain’s independent image attracts them, but they’re not sold on him yet, as many of them don’t usually vote Republican. But in addition to being conservative, the running mate should be urban and northern. At least that’s my take. Nothing against Mark Sanford, he’s a great governor, but I believe this small voting bloc will decide the election.

Always a pleasure,

Mike

Oh do forgive me, dear Plutarch. Yes, the Huckster needs to get a life. ;)

I like Huckabee, but I don’t think it should go to anybody who had been a candidate. The primary was too divided for any of those people - including Huckabee or the ur-liberal Romney - to be a good VP candidate.

It wasn’t directed at you. Huckabee is desperate.

I just love it. These egotistical pandering career politicians are precious. God Bless them. They are fodder for abuse. Endless material.

Retire the liberal tax raising, open border, algore loving, Jimmy Carter foreign policy pushing, nanny state Huckster Ping

Hey, if Huckster and Slick Willard think they’re qualified...

Selecting either would be very divisive. McCain should make a more uniting selection.

I hope he picks Palin, but I bet he picks Huckster.

I love it when Hucks name gets mentioned on FR. It lets me post this commercial that took me 3 weeks to write. I posted it every time his surrogates dano1, campaign workers with one screen name who we have not seen here since, posted one of his 45 articles per day. Hard work and I only got to post this 76 times. Photobucket

Bud Light presents:

"REAL MEN OF GENIUS"

...(Real men of genius)

Today we salute you, Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill!

...(Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill)

What does a liberal Republican do when he is afraid to face grass roots conservatives himself? He pays his coffee and errand boy minimum wage to do it for him

...(skim milk with three sweet and lows)

Sitting in a cubicle at campaign headquarters you search Conservative websites like the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Salon, CNN and Daily Kos looking for favorable articles about the Huckster to post on FR

...(oooh, here's one from DU!)

Armed with nothing but talking points from Hucks' website, you attempt to convince conservatives that your candidate is not a Christian socialist or a pro-life Democrat

...(Jesus would want amnesty for illegals)

When FReepers say Huck is a fiscal liberal, algore loving environmental wacko, open border amnesty pusher, violent criminal pardoner, Jimmy Carter foreign policy appeaser, nanny state smoker banner you provide the brilliant original response...a link to his campaign website

...(copy, paste, copy, paste)

Conservatives? We don't need no stinkin' Conservatives!

...(Highly overrated)

All we need is a leftist who is pro-life, has an R next to his name, and talks about Jesus.

...(Praise the Lord!)

So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, oh Karl Rove of the blogosphere, because when a FReeper runs for office, we'll be calling you...

...(Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill)
