Mike Huckabee: Serious Competition for Sarah Palin in 2012
Politcs Daily ^ | 12/13/10 | Suzi Parker

Posted on 12/13/2010 9:20:22 AM PST by pissant

Sarah Palin may have met her political match in Mike Huckabee.

Both have been criss-crossing the country on book tours. Both hold degrees in communication. Both hunt and fish. Both use various media to hit their target audiences.

But while Palin often generates anger, Huckabee takes the Will Rogers road. He has an aw-shucks demeanor, freely cracking jokes, shaking hands and chatting with the media while Palin shuns reporters.

Already road-tested by a 2008 White House run, Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor and Baptist minister, may just be the strongest GOP candidate to take on Palin in a primary and President Barack Obama in a general election.

From mmercier | 12/13/2010 11:21:18 AM PST read

PDS, or whatever...

She is not Competent to run this country.

**************

FReepmail from above... I’d rather reply in the open light of truth.

I’d say that mmercier is not qualified to be the judge of Sarah Palin’s competence. It is apparent his/her head is stuck in the mud or worse!

Agreed.

If the GOP is going to to go lunatic enough to nominate Sarah, we might as well nominate Newt (who I prefer).

This just guarantees that the one will finish off the job, one that I fear both parties long past agreed upon amongst themselves.

There has to be a peaceful transition whereby the middle class accepts the reality that those living in the “projects” accepted in the 70’s. The new deal is that you can stay in your suburban home, as long as you can become a tax accountant/criminal/liar and play the system.

If you are “rich” (as to be defined annually) you are on your own, until some law decides they can eat your a$$ for brunch and make you worthy of some form of socialist salvation.

Buy ammunition and store-able food.

The number of attacks on Sarah, and the vitriolic nature of them says that the left, progressives, and the elite are very scared of Sarah. They call her dangerous! What they do not say is dangerous to whom? Their self, of course.

Their screed is ... WIN NO MATTER HOW OR WHAT IT TAKES. MO

I have to chime in on this one. The Huck in my opinion is a RINO.

I agree with you.

mmercier is not qualified to judge $hit form Shinola.

So it goes, and so it is.

Get used to it, that is why we are here... Thinks me.

Teach me something. Private response is simply to spare the thread, no problem with letting things hang out in public.

I learn. I have eaten more of my own words and thoughts here than food. Sarah still don't got the juice.

Yeah, but Google supplies 81,300,000 results (0.18 seconds) to those two words... Sarah Palin!

How many for you today?

BTW, don't send that FReepmail crap my way. I don't care if you are Jimmy Hoffa! You don't need to "spare the thread" anything. Your crap will always float...

Elect Sarah Palin for President 2012

I remember Huckabee is a dirty fighter behind the scenes (in the name of god?), but he is unelectable IMO.

Romney, Huckabee, McCain, Newt and so forth..forgetaboutit.

First - Her membership in the Alaska Independence Party proves that she’s exactly the kind of leader America needs: the kind that will always put country first

Wishful thinking. Sarah had repudiated Alaskan independence and angerly denied that is or ever has been a member of the Alaskan Independence Party. I believe her! You have hitched your star to a calculating, image-driven politician (not unlike Obama in that regard), who is thoroughly aligned on foreign policy with her neocon debate coach, Billy Kristol

Sarah Palin has great qualifications for any role she wishes to take. I hope she runs for President. She can win.

Those negative PDS's on this board are surely from wannabe's and their supporters. Many will be banned or suspended before Nov 2012!

Elect Sarah Palin for President 2012

She does have a way of using a 2x4 over liberals heads on occasion.

Sarah Louise Palin (pronounced /ˈpeɪlɨn/ ( listen); née Heath; born February 11, 1964) is an American politician, author, speaker, and political news commentator who was the youngest person and the first woman elected Governor of Alaska. She served as governor from 2006 until she resigned in 2009. Chosen by Republican Party presidential candidate John McCain in August 2008 to be his running mate in that year's presidential election,[11] she was the first Alaskan on the national ticket of a major party, as well as the first female vice-presidential nominee of the Republican Party. On July 3, 2009, Palin announced she would not seek re-election as governor and that she was resigning effective July 26, 2009, eighteen months before the completion of her term. She cited ethics complaints that had been filed following her selection as running mate to John McCain as one of the reasons for her resignation, saying the resulting investigations had affected her ability to govern the state.[12][13][14][15] Speculation that she will run for the Republican Party presidential nomination in 2012 began prior to the defeat of the McCain–Palin ticket in 2008.[16][17] Before she was elected governor, she was a member of the Wasilla, Alaska City Council from 1992 to 1996, and the city's mayor from 1996 to 2002. After an unsuccessful campaign for lieutenant governor of Alaska in 2002, she chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission from 2003 until she resigned in 2004. In November 2009, her autobiography Going Rogue: An American Life was released and it quickly became a best-seller, selling more than two million copies.[18] In January 2010, Palin began providing political commentary to the Fox News Channel under a multi-year contract.[19] It was announced in March 2010 that she was to host her own TV show, called Sarah Palin's Alaska. Palin authored a second book, America by Heart, which was released on November 23, 2010.[18] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin ************ Update: Sarah's new book is at #5 on NYT list, #10 on Amazon, $4 at B&N... imagine how many she is really selling!

Oh yeah, Sarah does do that but liberals weren’t going to vote for her anyway and they hate even the most milquetoast of Republicans.
