The remaining five candidates are all terrible.

You could certainly argue that Huckabee's the most principled, conservative candidate remaining. Romney's a fraud, McCain's faults are well known, Paul is out there somewhere and so is his home planet, and Rudy's an authoritarian libertine.

Huck? hahahaha. You have NO cred whatsoever

I think I would agree with principled. Conservative - I don't know about,

I think DH took a look at what was left and went with principled.

I would argue that he is the least principled and conservative candidate, not that I am impressed with any of the others.

I have to agree with you here... I dont want Romney Care, I could not vote for McCain 8 years ago, so certainly cant vote for McCain now after he has made too many bad decisions since then! I would not vote for Paul at Gunpoint and Rudy is only better than the 3 Dems...

I was Debating between voting for Thompson or Huckabee and leaning toward Huckabee only for his support of the Fairtax and Thompsons apparent lack of support. I have told myself I will support Fairtax supporters. All I can say now that my first choice endorsed Huckabee, I will most likely vote for him in our primary on the 5th and will support the Republican nominee, whoever that is in the General.

The problem is my gut feeling is that everybody that is left is more polarizing than even Hillary herself and am afraid at this point, our next president is going to be a Democrat...

Not sure who to hope gets the Dem nomination... We are getting Hillary's ads now here in Arizona and I cringe every time I hear her voice, like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I am beginning to agree with the pundits that say McCain is the only one with a shot to win because of his Maverick status, by pulling in independents and Democrats.

I say this because my mother-in-law who lives in upstate New York and has voted Democrat her whole life, told my wife that if McCain is the Republican nominee she would vote for him, but if it were anybody else she would vote Democrat.

She is a mother that has had her oldest son in Iraq 3 tours now as well as two of her grandsons each doing a tour there. She says because she heard what McCain said about needing more troops awhile back and then after they get sent a few years later, the war changes for the better, personally I think because of General Petraeus, more than the "Surge".
