Our 2008 Vp Stakes has ended. After four rounds of voting that narrowed the list of possible candidates down from 16 to 1, our readers choose former Arkansas Gov. Michael Huckabee as the choice for John McCain's running mate. In the final round, Huckabee clobbered former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, 81-19 percent.

In total, nearly 13,000 voters visited our site in total. A summary of total votes cast per candidate is as follows:

[Perdogg]

Not just no, but Hell no.

[OKSooner]

Hell no, seconded.

[Nextrush]

No Bobby Jindal on this list I notice.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Here’s a better method of making that difficult choice. It’s the Democrat way.

Can you say “President Obama”?

[ncalburt]

what a huge mistake Huck would be. I see his people are out eagerly pushing the idea. We need a woman on the ticket. period.

Great ticket.

McCain turns off conservatives.
Huckabee turns off everybody else.

Sad to say but Huckabee will be an anchor on the GOP ticket. I know a lot of Freepers really wanted him for President but the vast majority of Republicans didn't want him. To me he came across as smarmy; a bit of a snake oil salesman. He doesn't play well outside of the Bible Belt. We need a candidate who can appeal to the Right AND the Middle. I know McCain is barely conservative in many of his points and he needs a more conservative VP to run with him. I don't know the answer at this point.

[OKSooner]

Good point. Given that JC Watts is finished with politics, I had to read all the way down to Sarah Palin before I found one that made any kind of sense.

If McCain picks Huckabee I will not vote for him.

Mitt Romney was the one, people wanted.

He’d be a strong, winner on the ticket.

And a pretty darn good candidate then, positioned to be President in 2012.

[Coldwater Creek]

NoNoNoNo!

[YellowRoseofTx]

We need a woman on the ticket. period.

We need a strong conservative on the ticket. Period!

Is this the left version of “Operation chaos?”

[Reagan is King]

I more I read about Sarah Palin the more I like her. As VP perhaps she would help bring in a bunch of the disaffected Hillary female voters. I know I don’t want the Huckster.

[TLI]

Once again, no Fred. Words fail me.

[trisham]

Bad choice. I hope he has more sense.

[WarToad]

“Is this the left version of “Operation chaos?” “

HAHAHA. I suppose turnabout is fair play.
