"Or else..."
LOL. What a tool.
Huckabee is a weasel.
Love it when a plan comes together. Palin, the tea party choice.
Sorry, but I have a problem believing anything Huckabee says is sincere.
He always comes across as a Carnival Barker.
And I am an Evangelical Christian.
She wouldn’t have to even think about that if the current Republican party wasn’t made up of RINOS.
Paladin2 warns The Huckster: Don’t plan on running for POTUS again.” Join again with Juan and go form your own party.
CNN trying to portray Huckabee as having any authority over Palin. LOL.
Palin will do whatever she sees as appropiate. I think she will stick with the GOP and try to save it from itself. But she certainly won’t take her advice from the Huckster.
The Republican party left Sarah Palin and millions of other conservatives.
Huck, if the GOP needs Palin, then the GOP better come down hard on the corrupt GOPers that have been going after her.
I agree with huckabee here.
Going third party is equivalent to opting out of the political system and deciding to have no voice.
Work to make the republican party better, don’t abandon it.
This sounds more like a backwards smear of Palin than some sort of sincere plea.
Has anyone heard that Sarah was leaving the GOP to have Huckabee state this? If not, then this is meant as a smear.
she doesen’t have to leave, all of the intellectual country-club Republicans are doing their best to toss her out of the boat
I didn’t like this guy before and there is nothing recent to change my mind
There is an interesting line of discussion over at conservatives for Palin in some people believe that either Huck is trying to get local Republican election officials in his side, or he is trying to cause a wedge between the party and Palin.
Besides, he is feeding out of a line of attack from the MSM and he should know better. I guess it’s just another pundit trying to feed off Palin to get his name in the news. I wonder who’s next in line?
She’d get my vote. The only issue is we’d need a highly popular rat to split from their party and run for President against Obama as well. Splitting both parties is about the only way we can get a viable 3rd choice.
However, the offer, by Palin, to support conservative Democrats comes at a good time:
We need to remind Conservative Democrat officeholders that they got their jobs with the support of some conservative Republicans.
It might serve to tone down the pressure, from Pelosi and Reed, on the “Blue Dogs” -— and it might give some “Blue Dogs” some courage, knowing that Republicans will more than make up the support they might lose from Dem. leaders.
Huckabee should just give up on politics and stick to television. He is much better at that anyway. (Especially if they bring back shows set in Mayberry, he’d be great...)
Please. Huck would love it if Palin left: third party candidates are guaranteed to lose, and it would give Huck an easier path to the 2012 candidacy. Well, at least he could claim to be the conservative candidate. (He’s not conservative, he would just claim to be.)
I tend to agree with an earlier thread that argued that if Sarah goes third party it would almost guarantee zero a second term. It would also set up the same kind of arguments that I used to have with the Perot people in ‘92, namely that if Perot did win he would never get anything done without congress’ consent, and the two party swamp that is DC will not change and consent to anything a third party came up with.
But, I can also share Sarahs’ frustration with the current rino infested GOP.
It is a dilemma that may not have a solution.
