I thought the time was right to start up a live thread for results and comments about tonight, so here we are!

[commish]

My sentiments exactly. We need a wartime President. There are several Republican candidates who fit that bill. Huckabee simply isn’t one of them.

It has been Hucks completely idiotic and downright IGNORANT foriegn policy statements that have made me decide I don't want him to even get a sniff of the WH carpets.

Once he said we should close Gitmo the flashing red warning lights came on and the claxons started ringing. Then when the moron APOLOGIZED for the Bhutto assassination I decided that there is no way at all that I would ever vote for him.

We do not need a Republican version of Jimmy Carter in the WH - EVER!!!!! A Huckabee presidency would DESTROY the Republican party for years.

For the first time in my life, there is a Rep. candidate that I WILL NOT VOTE FOR. I would rather live through the disaster of a Hillary, Obama, Edwards Presidency.

Rudy, Mitt, McInsane I could hold my nose for, but I can never ever forgive Huckabee for those downright stupid gaffes.

Actually, the GOP list is close with exception that John McCain is polling higher than ron paul is.

McCain is IIRC 11% and paul is at best 9%

Ducan Hunter had no “fire in the belly” and was a lazy campaigner.

Billary wanted to know if they could order a Kennedy-Dodd sandwich to go

LOL...and when they couldn't get one they left NO TIP!...

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

Wow. Just heard on NBC news, gregory, that you can walk up to any caucus polling station and change your voter affiliation on the spot!

Stranger and stranger.

[RockinRight]

Keyes beats Hunter? That’s gonna leave a mark.

Obviously Duncan got into the race too late.../sarcasm

Don’t you mean the way the DNC embedded caucus attendees want things to come out? Don’t kid yourself, I used to be a Dim and I attended caucuses, a bigger goat rope with no voice you’d be hard put to find. If they don’t get their way they complain until the tired attendees agree to let their vote go “undecided” or “uncommitted” and let the convention (the DNC) use it like they want.

Well, I assume then that you’re not supporting Huckabee, either.

You caught on to that :-). I'm a big Hunter fan, and I think he's getting a raw deal, while much less conservative candidates are being trumpeted here as "true conservatives". I'll be fair to Huckabee, and recognize both his pluses and minuses (and not call him evil). I just think on a scale of conservativism, Romney, Huckabee, and Thompson aren't that far apart, while Hunter beats them all soundly.

[SoCalPol]

Hunter was also doing his congressional duties.

[Kenny Bunk]

I volunteer to wake Fred up and tell him! I bet he’ll be excited .... then again, with Fred, how would anyone know?

LOL! Those boys are scary.

That post is, no doubt, evidence of your “ever-diminishing wits.”

“Keyes beats Hunter? That’s gonna leave a mark.”

The reason I think that is because Iowa has so many Evangelicals that when it gets down to the lowest number candidates, all things being equal, it will break for the candidate with the strong religious position, hence Alan Keyes. I don’t think this is a good thing, but I am a realist.

[roses of sharon]

No, they did not dislike him before he began his speaking tour of disrespecting another candidates religion, all to garner votes, FGS!

It was despicable.

Add to that his liberal parlance, his domestic populist campaign, and he has created a movement against him now. And he is obviously not a wartime President.

Mr Huckabee is not a victim of religious bigotry of any kind, do not try to make him so.
