Palin only trails Huckabee by two points in Iowa
The Examiner ^ | 11/23/2009 | Kevin Hall

Overall, the Register poll seems to be nothing but good news for Mike Huckabee. But that is not the case, because of Palin's numbers....

Huckabee= a manifestation of how much GOP masculinity has declined since the candidates in 1980 (Reagan, Connally, Bush, Crane, Dole). We REALLY have a dearth of leadership of almost biblical proportions now. I’m beginning to thing this is not some type of divine retribution when you look at the ‘Limp Richards’ the GOP has to run agains Obama.

Given our current Presidential situation, I would welcome George W. Bush back with open arms. He made mistakes. They all make mistakes. Absent Christ-Himself running for President, political and moral perfection is an absolute impossiblity.

Given the option, I’d rather vote for a God-fearing Christian than not. I’d take Palin (as well as quite a few others) over Huck in a primary — but, if Huck were nominated, he’d have my support.

I doubt Huckabee runs. He enjoys making money for once in his life.

Huck is a genuinely good man. It is rarely a bad thing to have a good Godly man in a leadership position in this country.

This is exactly what many normally conservative Christans said in justifying their vote for Jimmy Carter in 1976.

By the time Sarah releases her 2nd book, the one that lays out her policy stances, she we be ahead by double digits.

Remember Obama released 2 books, one a autobiography and another laying out his policy positions.. expect Palin to do the same.

Ask the fine people of Arkansas ... on second thought, don’t . They had “Buyers” remorse with Clintoon ... and then the double Whammy of “Buyers” remorse again with the Huckster. They got blindsides twice ... shame on them ....

The Huckster is not a good man. He’s a snakeoil salesman trying to pass himself off as a “good man”.

I believe “Thou shalt not bear false witness” is one of the Ten Commandments. He broke it dozens of times with his backhanded ambushes of Fred Thompson and other candidates.

He always had some outside group do the dirty work for him, but he was behind it all.

Actually, the campaigning has ALREADY begun.

Pawlenty, Pataki, & Huckabee have already visited in the past month.

Palin comes to Sioux City as part of her book tour soon.

In Iowa, the campaigning only stops for about one year after the election.

Don’t blame Iowa Republicans for Carter. They don’t vote in the Dim caucuses.

We don’t need someone like Huckabee who will say nice things about Obama. The best candidate is staring the nation straight in the face.

Palin 2012.

The Hawkeye Cauci is by, for and about the Democrat Party. It is a jobs program for Donks in Illinois and Minnesota.
That's my observation, anyway.

Have to disagree. He’s running. I would pretty much guarantee it.

New Hampshire operates about the same way I think. Some of the candidates almost live up there for a year or more as those folks expect to meet the candidate one on one at one of their local establishments or events. So you have to spend a lot of time just roaming about their state.

Only the views of Republicans matter, because you have to be registered as a Republican to participate in the GOP Caucus.

Technically correct, but anyone can register at the caucus.

I don’t necessarly support Huck over Palin, or several of the others — but I’d hardly protest his nomination. Huck is a genuinely good man. It is rarely a bad thing to have a good Godly man in a leadership position in this country.

Sorry, you can keep Huck. I don't want him and I don't characterize him as "good" simply because he is religious, some of the biggest a**hats I have ever known were "godly",or pretended to be.

Huck is a genuinely good man.

That's debatable.
