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

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.

Governor Palin is attacked by this White House and it's media much like Reagan was in 1980, while the other potential candidates (Romney and Huckabee) are ignored.

Rest assured, this administration only sees one opponent at present who is “Presidential Material”.

Huckabee thinks that because he can get a following on TV - he must be popular all over the country.

NOT SO!!

Beck gets probably 10 times the viewers .. so just as I predicted when Huckabee first went on TV - he’s using this position of his program to run a campaign and to get name recognition.

NO RHINO has a snowball’s chance in hell in the current atmosphere in America. Sadly, he’s ignorantly unaware of what’s going on around him.

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

She sure did, she quit! Government smaller by one. She quit because she was now on the receiving end of the ethics complaints.

The MSM just loves to publish positive stories about Huck, which tells you exactly what you need to know.

Huck needs to look at his infamous family photo again and realize it would do to him what the bunny suit did to John Effin Kerry.

Any man who will bill himself as a Chistian and then use his re-marriage ceremony to allow people to send *wedding gifts* from a registry in order to get around the prohibition for pols-in-office is most telling.

Sorry ... next?

Unless the brain dead GOP can get a handle on the primary selection process which permits anyone to vote in GOP primaries, we are likely to get another loser like McCain foisted on us by crossover Democrats and "Independents" who snicker up their sleeves as they vote for the opponent they most want the Republican Party to destruct with.

Is this crazy, or what?

The left is foisting the Huckster on us just like they foisted Juan on us, and for the same reason: they know that he will be easily destroyed if and when he gets the GOP nomination.

No one has officially put a hat in the ring; I've no dog in the fight as yet.

But there's no chance Huckabee will beat 0bama if people are so clueless as to nominate him.

We need a president with courage. Name one courageous thing Mitt Romney has done in his entire life.

How’s this then, the man is a Christian socialist used car salesman.

That isn't accurate, either, considering Huckabee did cut taxes extensively in Arkansas and favors a flat tax.

If you want to say he is another George W. Bush, that would be more accurate.
