Yep. And that is precisely the bottom line.

Plus he is a loser to the two-time loser Romney.

Nixon, LBJ and Truman had some training as former VPs. In Nixon’s case, a full eight years. In Truman’s case, a mere few months.

“If not me, I would be supportive of someone who has had executive experience and who has been a governor prior to somebody having only had legislative experience, which I think is fundamentally different in the manner in which one serves,” Huckabee said after describing what it takes to be a commander-in-chief.

I can't disagree with this, except if the only people with executive experience who are running are bloody freakin' RINOs.

All the executive experience in the world means nothing if you have no vision about where this country needs to be headed, or if the vision you do have is anything other than restoring America as a land of free markets, limited government and Constitutional law.

LBJ was the quintessential senator and the force in the senate at the time of his vice presidency.

Nixon actually had a functional presidency until the Watergate takedown. Billy Graham reveals that Nixon had a level of anti-Semitism in him, and that bothers me now. Also, after becoming a conservative, I’ve decided that Nixon, with his wage/price controls, was actually a bit of a socialist.

While Huck is definitely better than Obama (but who isn’t?), he can’t hold a candle to Cruz, or Palin, or anyone else who espouses CONSERVATIVE Values.

“If not me, I would be supportive of someone who has had executive experience and who has been a governor prior to somebody having only had legislative experience, which I think is fundamentally different in the manner in which one serves,” Huckabee said after describing what it takes to be a commander-in-chief.

“Do you have the capacity, as an executive, to look at the whole battlefield and to see all the issues in play and how they integrate with each other?” he said. “And one of the things that I learned in ten-and-a-half years of being a governor, is that you don’t get to just enjoy the issues that are most endearing to you.”

He says he can articulate what "we" are for, but where does he do any of that in this article?

We haven;t had the primary yet.

Then we need a candidate who can excite the base and get out the vote. Huckster is not that guy

The Arkansas GOP has moved solidly left from what I hear.

If it is somehow true that the Huckster is “better than the others”, the USA is in worse shape than I thought.

Huck No! Huckabee does not believe in the Reagan coalition ... Even Fred Thompson nailed this in 2007:

The direction Governor Huckabee would take us in … liberal economic policies … liberal foreign policies … taxpayer funded programs for illegals … that’s not the model of the Reagan coalition, that’s the model of the democratic party.

Well, I'll let Huck and Santorum split the vote in Iowa that Huck had in 08 and that Santorum had in '12. It's the same vote. When they split it, they're both done early. Thank GOD!!

As Monica said, ‘we don’t need another because the last one left a bad taste in my mouth.’

True....and I'll add he cannot inspire, cannot persuade, cannot motivate anything but a teeny tiny niche of the voters. He doesn't even understand the long term magic of Cruz' filibuster - let alone have the leadership to do something similar. He's pathetic.

He creeps you out because he’s a phony - and you are not a phony - so your radar is warning you to “Stay away.....stay away.....stay away....”

And by phony, I mean certainly a phony conservative. Maybe a phony Christian, altho that’s between him and God and I would never pretend to know - I just know that the phony streak is inside of him, and I wouldn’t ever assume he’s genuine about anything. Maybe he is, but he’s yet to prove it.

If I'm not mistaken, the name "Santuckabee" has been copyrighted.

If not, it SHOULD be!! :)
