Huckabee says polling shows he's best Republican to take on Obama in 2012
The Hill ^ | 06/27/10 | Eric Zimmermann

Posted on 06/27/2010 10:55:34 AM PDT by HospiceNurse

Mike Huckabee said Sunday he's the strongest Republican to take on President Obama in 2012.

"I end up leading a lot of the polls," the former Arkansas governor told "Fox News Sunday." "I’m the Republican that clearly at this point does better against Obama than any other Republican."

Huckabee said he hasn't made up his mind about running, but suggested he's strongly considering it.

“I haven’t closed the door. I think that would be foolish on my part, especially when poll after poll shows that there is strong sentiment out there," he said.

I wouldn’t trust Huckster with a 50 ft poll.

He can just Huck off as far as I’m concerned.

? People have different opinions.

Why is that hard to understand?

I’d never vote for Huckabee.

I would like to vote for a big, mean, conservative, military man. General Patraeus comes to mind. But it looks like that option is over for him now. He will be stuck in and getting blamed for Afghanistan for years to come.
Maybe getting him out of the country and away from ideas on the presidency was the reason why all of this BS Rolling Stone magazine stuff happened. It seemed kind of contrived and silly to me.

Obama won’t be running. Probably Hillary.

Wasn’t he the guy responsible for the DEATHS of 5 Seattle area police officers, due to his INABILITY to LISTEN to prosecutors who, essentially, said that would happen?

Oh well, no one’s perfect, and the kids of these slain cops should just forgive and forget.

Huck in 2012!!! (right)

From 2008 on, every GOP candidate will have to stand tall and strong against the battles of the next 10 years.

Huck would have trouble standing up to a donut.

Name recognition does not translate into an electoral win. Stick with your show Huck.

It's one thing not to agree with Huckabee on certain issues but to imply he is a bigot is not only nonsense, it is the sort of horse manure one expects from liberal nit wit.

I didn't mean to imply anything . I can see I made it plain enough for all religious nitwit bigots to understand . Religious prejudice is Un-American .

we absolutely have to get a real candidate and not a media star like Palin or Huckabee.

Yeah, we should just run another bland establishment hack Republican who'll continue the socialist agenda.

Sarah will offer her support and all her fans will just love him.

Yup. Just like last time. FR hated McLame and was full of Fredheads. Fred split the conservative vote, McLame won the nomination, and Fred backed him big time.

Palin was elected governor by siding with democrats against republicans. She invented Alaska ethics complaints.

I guess at this moment, Romney has the best chance.

You should NEVER say this outloud on FR.

How about Inhof?

He's been all over the globull warming scammers.

As a member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, minority leader of the Oklahoma Senate, mayor of Tulsa, congressman from Oklahoma’s First Congressional District, to his present role as Oklahoma’s senior U.S. Senator, Jim has served Oklahomans with pride and honor.

From his post as the second ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Jim has gained a reputation as an expert on defense and national security issues. Not only is Jim a strong supporter of Oklahoma’s defense industry and military community, he has also been a tireless advocate for providing greater resources, the necessary equipment, and proper training to our military personnel fighting the War on Terror and combating global threats to our nation’s security. Jim has been to Iraq and Afghanistan as much as any other member of Congress since the beginning of the War on Terror.

Jim is a lifelong Oklahoman who grew up in Tulsa and graduated from the University of Tulsa with a degree in economics. He served in the U.S. Army and has been a small businessman working in aviation, real estate, and insurance for over 30 years.

Inhofe has been married 50 years to his wife, Kay, and has four grown children and twelve grandchildren. During his service in Washington, he commutes back home to Oklahoma almost every weekend.

you do know that both the democrat and republican parties have been infiltrated by progressives. just because someone claims to be a republican means nothing these days.

are they actually for smaller govt? Sarah proved, through her actions while governor, that she is.

the GOP and the dems are pushing for bigger govt which will give them more power. we need people that will REDUCE their power, not increase it
