Palin quit her 1st term as Governor. Huckabee served 10 years as Governor”

How many year as governor did 0bozo serve?
Oh wait, he was an ACORN community organizer from Chicago, who served only 100 days in the US Senate before running for president, and he sits in the White House even as we speak.

Huckabee is just another snakeoil salesman from AR, a big government blowhard, much like Bill Clinton. The only difference is is that Huck is pro-life, but he’s also pro-amnesty, pro-big government.

OTOH, Huckabee, as pastor, saved several souls for Christ.

Ah, yes... nothing like a bit of sheer speculation upon which to base one's choice of candidate.

Thanks for forwarding the talking points from Jim Dobson's inner circle, though.

A true Christian would never make the moronic and deceptive judgments that you have.

Huckabee used the symbol of a cross (bookcase lighting) in the background of his campaign commercial. When it was called to question, he denied any knowledge of it.... he lied to all Americans.

Had he been truthful, I would have considered it a very appropriate commercial. Instead, when under pressure, he lied to the world at Christmas.... and about the very symbol of Christmas.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that the denial of Christ is NOT the mark of a stellar Christian. Huckabeeee is a shill... and nothing more. He is certainly not the quality of a leader that our country needs in the White House.

You’re as phony as Huckaliar.

"Huckabee raised his kids right."

Isn't gluttony one of the seven deadly sins? Also, watch Big Mike when his guest is an attractive female. His eyes have a tendency to wonder. Yes, of course a man will notice a pretty and shapely woman, but I draw the line at ogling a pregnant lady as Big Mike did when seated across Megyn Kelly.
Sarah Palin's family isn't perfect, (neither was Abraham's). But unlike Huckabee, Mrs Palin doesn't affect a holier-than-thou public persona.

Jindal would be eaten alive by the media with his exorcism stuff, and his Gilligan look. Unfortunately, Barbour is considered “too Southern” to be on a national ticket. Daniels, no one has ever heard of him, so if he’s interested, he better get busy.

Of the current crop, Palin has the best chance going up against 0bama. She’d be able to raise enough money to be competative, she’d be able to match him crowd for crowd, and have an army of get out the vote volunteers. None of the others are near as inspriring.

Palin is a failed conservative & failed Christian.

If being a Christian means salvation through the grace of God, and we can not earn that salvation, then how does one become a "failed Christian"?

And by what authority or power do you sit in judgment of someone else's relationship with God?

I remember 1980 well. They fought Reagan tooth and nail. They tried to blow up the early primaries and caucuses, especially in New Hampshire, for far more than they were worth, especially when Bush won there.

But in the end, the goodwill Reagan gained from his near win over Ford in 1976, his nightly radio show which came on around 6 p.m. just as I was driving from college to my night job, and the disaster of the Carter presidency was enough to make the RINO wing settle for forcing him to pick Bush for the #2 spot.

I beleive the #2 spot was what Huck wanted all the time given his slavish devotion to John McCain and his refusal to criticize him or even point out any key policy differences. That does not mean he is running for #2 this time because he sees himself as the legitimate runner up, even though he did not move up to #2 until well after Romney dropped out of the race and he was the sole McCain alternative.

Even then, his final numbers trail Romney badly in every category except actual delegates won, a lead he gained only because Romney was no longer a factor in the race.

Romney supporters obviously know this and see their guy as the legitimate runner-up and the man whose turn it is this time around. Add to this the feeling of the Romney people that their guy was the victim of blatant religious bigotry and you've got a nasty catfight brewing in a Huckabee-Romeny rematch which can only divide the party.

The same factors which reunited the party (and put the McCain ticket briefly ahead before the economic collapse and bank bailout) are still in play here.

Ultimate test, I think, is the reaction of the enemedia whenever Sarah Palin's name is mentioned-- she is like sunlight on a vampire. Mitt and Huck are both ho-hum.

Jindal, as I recall, is not a NBC because his parents were not citizens when he was born here. Not that being a Natural Born Citizen means anything anymore - thanks SCOTUS.

Funny, troll-boy, you said this a couple of months ago:

-----------

So, let's compare Huck and Palin on Facebook. Palin: 930K

Huck: 121K

No comparison, by your very own standards.

Go shill for a statist loser like Huck somewhere else.

I’m not buying Rassmussen’s poll.

In every online poll I’ve seen, Sarah has been the clear winner, far and away, over Huck and Romney. In fact, she regularly garners more polling votes than the rest of the field combined.

How is Rass getting such drastically different numbers than these other polls?

Now that's a sentence, but Reagan won New Hampshire.

Bigtime.

"I hope the following run for the Repub nomination in 2012:"

I am convinced that the nominee will come from that list (or someone else who's not even on than tist), and it will NOT include either Palin, Romney or Huckabee.

And I absolutely agree with you about Jindal in the #2 spot. He was disappointing in the SOTU rebuttal, but he's much better in interviews and press conferences. Also, he's young and not white, and that helps the GOP with the "old and white" perception problem, especially with the 18-29 year-old demographic.

Mrs. Huckabee, shouldn’t you quit wasting your time on a computer and instead, go see if your son is skinning another dog?

Oh, and will you soon be going to another Hooters?

As much as I love and respect her, I agree with you.Fortunately that won’t be a problem,as she has had her baptism by fire and it has forged her into a force to be reckoned with.It won’t be so easy to rattle her this time around.She was thrown to the lions in 2008,and she’s not going to allow that to happen again.She’s a pretty smart cookie!

The poll says that the Palin Express is already on the side track. If that is not what you want, then you need to use the poll to motivate Palin supporters to get out there and solve the problem, which is that too many people have a perception of Palin that prevents them from supporting her.

You can be mad at those who don’t like Palin, but in the end you need 51% of the general public to like her enough to vote for her if you want her to be PResident. You won’t accomplish that without hard work, according to this and other polls.

Huck and Romney are the only candidates most people to be surveyed would know and remember right now, other than Palin, whom they’ve been hearing for months now has no chance because she resigned as guv.

Way too early, but confirmation that Palin has work to do in the next year or two.
