I wasn’t in Arkansas when Huckabee was governor, but I do know he has allowed his religion to overcome his judgement. He bought in to a jail house conversion and pardoned a convicted rapist who then raped and murdered a woman in Missouri.
I don’t think a lot of folks are going to be on his bandwagon this time around. I sometimes watched his show but it was for his guests, not him.
I like Mike. He seems like a genuinely decent human being. However, I don’t think he has the spine to do what needs to be done to get this country straightened out. I would like to see him, Santorum and a few others do poorly in the early primaries to better allow the cream to flow to the top
Where would I put it? I had to change and delete words as it is. Go look at the source to see the original.
Nanny Huckabee is a lot of conservatives’ nightmare.
One of the big things I love about Ted Cruz is that he listens, he proved he went to Washington to speak for us.Another positive among many things is his love and commitment to our Constitution.
Hi guy, I hope that you are doing well
“I’d like to see a Republican primary season with NO reruns.”
Amen.

Hahahahahahaha. No.
Huckster might cut into Ted’s share of the little old lady vote, but I think that is about it.
Pres. Reagan was a re-run candidate. Just saying. As a conservative, it may take more than one try to find the right path through the roadblocks set up within the GOP.
My comment has no bearing on Huckabee. He (social conservative, fiscal liberal) is the opposite of libertarians (social liberal, fiscal conservative). Sorry, the two concepts can’t be segregated. A path of either social or fiscal liberalism dooms the other side of that coin to the exact same result.
I don’t see Huckabee getting anywhere. He’ll do marginally better than Santorum, but he’s not going to be a spoiler. There are just too many solid candidates to choose from for Huck to stand much of a chance.
IMHO, anyway.
To Huckabeen.

I don't think it's necessarily his spine that's lacking. He supports Common Core, which tells me he has no idea what the problem is with America in 2015-16. He just doesn't get it.
Does Ted Cruz own an Old Country Buffet?
I might be classified as a little old lady, but he’s not getting my vote! He’s not getting the votes of anyone I know. They are all Cruzin.
Of course, there are a lot of people out there who don't think logically and some of them are even going to vote in the GOP primary.
The GOPe is counting on it.
Matt Lewis is an operative of The Cheap Labor Express.
Ted Cruz has to be stopped in their minds. Huckabee, Graham, Perry and more have been recruited to stop him.
Someone told me—half jokingly—that Huckabee has delayed announcing his “decision” until May so he can beg Roger Ailes to take him back.
The early launch by candidates like Cruz, Rubio, Paul, Scott Walker and Jeb Bush is pressing a lot of donors and campaign talent to make an early decision. True, Huckabee gained a lot of recognition with his Fox program and various radio shows (and he can still count on some of his supporters from 2008), but I don’t see him overtaking any of the front-runners.
It’s deja vu all over again. The Huckster will peak in Iowa, get crushed in New Hampshire, and be a non-factor by the time South Carolina and Florida roll around. I think the biggest concern Huckabee poses is pulling the same stunt he did almost eight years ago. Get enough delegates in the early states to establish himself a minor kingmaker, then deliver them to the candidate who’s willing to make Huckabee the best deal.
Remember West Virginia in 2008? Don’t put it past Huckabee to do it again, although I don’t think he’ll get as many delegates this time around, given the large number of candidates in the field.
(keeping hands down) Sorry, Mr. Huckabee. It’s time for a real, dynamic younger candidate. And Ted Cruz is it.
I seen him the other night on TV and it was in color! After he has ran, people will change there tune, OK!
Mike Huckabee is no Conservative and never was. He is more like Bill Clinton than anything else.
Money obsessed and nothing more.
I am from Arkansas and never again would I vote from him.
