Huckabee for Veep? (He is under consideration according to sources close to the Romney campaign)

Gov. Bob McDonnell, R-VA. Make book on it.

[SoFloFreeper]

Huckabee is too populist for me.

[bmwcyle]

VP Huck, Obama wins.

[CatherineofAragon]

Willard and the Merv Griffin of Fox News. LOL, just great.

[Vigilanteman]

If Mitt needs an Evangelical from the south, I would suggest Col. Al West of Florida. He'll get defense gravitas along with it.

With Huck, he will only get dueling RINOs.

[Pilated]

If this is what we get it would be concidered by me to be two HUGE disappointments in one voting package. How disgusting no one to vote for. My country has been trashed by the political elites over my life time.

GOP is stuck on death wishes. . .

Boob Bait for Bubbas

<><><><><

Wouldn’t Boob Bait for Bubbas actually have boobs? And not man boobs.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Does the dry humor not go over well on radio too?

If you played his show at Gitmo the National Lawyahs Guild would get jumpin' ugly...

[CSM]

I find it shocking that the GOP continually finds new ways to alienate its base...seems like a daily occurance.

[TBP]

After the food fascist Huckafeller cut a deal with McCain to stab Romney in the back in 2008, he’s on Romney’s VP list?

[Kharis13]

This story is being floated by Team Romney for one of two reasons: 1. Their internal polls show him goign down in flames because the base is staying home and he needs to do something desperate to get the base off of the couch and they see Huckabee as the ebst bet to do that; OR

2. They are getting concerned with the base sitting this one out and they need to toss around some more Boob Bait for Bubbas to keep the base ginned up.

Either way, it’s still a “No Sale” with me.

While I love FR, I notice when I step outside of it to check the pulse of the nation, the GOP base is fired up, if only to vote against our Dear Leader. Reading the negative nellies on FR all day, every day, would give one the impression that Romney is the worst candidate ever and we can't win. Not true.

Too bad your non-vote goes for Obama, but this is a free country and you have the right to express your opinion at the ballot box.

[Thane_Banquo]

I can’t see a single southern state, outside of Florida, voting for Obama no matter who he picks or doesn’t pick for VP

Multiple southern states did in 2008. The issue isn't whether conservatives in these states will vote for Obama. They won't. The question is whether they will show up. That's what determines whether southern states stay in the red column.

I totally agree. Here in Indiana it wasn't because Mourdock was a dynamic mesmerizing candidate, it was because we wanted to KICK OUT LUGAR.

I see the same thing with Baraq.

[nascarnation]

Based on our Indiana primary, and the WV fun, I’m pretty convinced that there will be a good turnout to oppose Baraq Obama and his Dem colleagues. More convinced than I’ve been in months.

Humor?

Satire?

Ugh ... if this is true, the GOP really doesn’t want to win.

[WILLIALAL]

2008 was when Obama was an unknown quantity, and you could color him in anyway you wanted. Not so in 2012, he is a known political figure with a record. I will stand by my statement that all southern states will go Rep excluding Fl.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I don’t think Mitt needs Arkansas that bad. Likely going to be Rob Portman. Ohio is a must win.

[itsahoot]

My country has been trashed by the political elites over my life time.

They have been around forever, just that lately they are more brazen because we have a dependent culture now that they can remold to their liking.

Davey Crockett went to Texas for a reason.
