The only ones pushing Huck, are the pollsters and....Huck.
Party Unity is easy. Everyone simply needs to go alone with what I want.
“Three candidates are statistically tied at the top: Huckabee (21%), Palin (19%) and Romney (17%), while ten other candidates pull in another 30% of the vote.”
Of the three I’d vote for Palin in the primary. In the General? Anybody but Obama.
“The Republican Party cannot afford another unsupported Nominee at the top.”
In a nutshell, that’s the problem. What to do? Well - start with NOT NOMINATING ANOTHER WRINKLED OLD WHITE GUY!! Morons. Full disclaimer: I’m a wrinkled old white guy so I can legally say the above.
What cost the GOP dearly was allowing the democRATs a voice in picking our candidate.
There is only one potential candidate with the intensity and the star power to win in a landslide.
Honestly, if Palin were to decide NOT to run, but to endorse a single conservative candidate, that would result in a coalescing of support around that candidate by the Tea Party conservatives and BLOCK Mittens from winning merely by being the last man standing due to conservatives splitting their votes among too many candidates.
Why aren’t any true conservatives, other than Palin, stepping up? Are they afraid of the media abuse?
Sure the Republican party maybe divided,So what.So are the dem’s.
So we ended up with the MSM's choice.
Unless an outstanding candidate emerges we will probably do the same thing this time. At present we only have one possible candidate with enough star power to crush the rats. But she is all or nothing, if she stumbles she could sink the whole ticket.
If the establishment GOP were to run interference for her she could make a great president.
Most FReepers won’t admit it, but a big part of the reason we got McCain was because of... Fred Thompson.
We had the perfect candidate in Duncan Hunter, but along came the Hollywood Star and his glamorous young wife and you fell for it. FReepers became FRedheads overnight, throwing Duncan under the bus.
So what happened? Thompson took a dive and endorsed his buddy McCain. FReepers who swore they would never support Flip Romney or Traitor McCain proceeded to embrace one then the other. At least I can say my conscience is clean, Hunter was my write-in vote.
I will be upfront, I don’t care who it is, Palin, Hunter, Brewer, or someone I really don’t know. This is what I want, someone who can read a balance sheet! Someone who stands up for what is right, regaurdless of what the polls say. I want a President who says the buck stops here, and means it. I want some mean onery bas*&^ered, who will stand up and be counted to do the right thing. FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION!!!
