FTA: The 59-year-old former Baptist minister placed second in 2008 to Arizona Sen. John McCain and would enter the race with a loyal following from born-again and evangelical Christians.

What a bunch of inside the beltway conventional bullsh-t!! Huck only finished second because he stayed in the race til the end. He never had a chance, proving once again that Iowa doesn't normally matter. And much of his loyal following are onto his slipperiness now.....

Huckabee certainly has a populist folksy approach to politics which sucks people in unfortunately.

It is what it is.......

He really should have kept with his tv show or run for Senator in Arkansas. I can pretty much guarantee he will never be President. For one thing he has held office in almost a decade. He probably doesn’t even know how government works anymore.

I’m no fan of Huck, but the Club for Growth supported Pat Toomey, who voiced support for Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination and championed the repeal of DADT. They’re not exactly conservatives.

While Gohmert attempts to unseat Boehner as Speaker, Gomer thinks about another run for President ....

The direction Governor Huckabee would take us in … liberal economic policies … liberal foreign policies … taxpayer funded programs for illegals … that’s not the model of the Reagan coalition, that’s the model of the democratic party.

I can't see people voting for Huckabee, he has skeletons in his closet.

"According to a study by the Associated Press, Huckabee issued more than twice as many pardons and commutations in his 10 years in office than his three predecessors did in the previous 17 years. "

Some of those released prisoners were rapists and murderers who went on to rape and kill again, one of which was Maurice Clemmons who went on to kill four cops soon after release by Huckabee.

If Huckabee is the nominee, I will not vote.
I cannot stand his tv show.
His son tortured and killed a dog.
He granted clemency to a career criminal who then shot and killed 4 police officers not far from where I live.. Huckabee has a long history of pardoning criminals.
On his show, he supported the parents of a brain dead girl - Jahi ( cannot remember the last name) to keep her alive on a ventilator. This was not a Terry Schiavo case, this girl had no brain function on her EEG. Yet, Huckabee wanted her kept alive on the ventilator. I emailed him, asking him what his definition of death was, since he supported keeping brain dead people alive on ventilators.He never answered back.
Huckabee is a joke, and so is his family.

That’s gonna leave a mark.

Conservatives have to coalesce around someone generally conservative on all fronts.

Huckabee is not that man.

It was unethical for Huck to stay in the 2008 race and play spoiler for Romney and ensure the McCain nomination.

It was motivated by his anti-Mormon bias.

You don’t have to be pro-Romney to hate the tactic and the motive.

Why?
Huckabee is all for amnesty, like the Club for Growth.
