He has no chance to win. However, he will once again split the
conservative vote and allow a Christie, Romney or Bush to win the
nomination.

His goal is to split the GOP, not to win.

Huck isn’t in it to win. It’s a good way to make some money, pretending to be a candidate, that is.

If he were only making money that'd be one thing. But in the process he diminishes other serious conservative candidates.

The way I look at it Huck's filling his pockets at the expense of his country.

This early these polls are meaningless. Its just name recognition at this point. Don’t worry about it.

I agree but I don’t think they have a choice.

Other success factors:

1) Avoid anyone residing in DC, No VA or MD as a consultant, adviser, planner, spokesman, etc.

2) Decline free paper and electronic subscriptions to the Washington Post and NY Times. Prevent campaign staff from reading them also.

3) Campaign, then poll - not the other way round.

4) Go negative. Early. ‘He’s going negative!’ the press will say. SO WHAT? Line crossed. Big deal. What’s the alternative? Going positive? Didn’t the last two GOP candidates try that?

Heck, might as well get Juan McCain in for another go, too. This is not shaping up well so far. Too many candidates who will be portrayed as conservative and too many candidates in general.

Yeah.... No.

Can’t these guys, Huck-a-buck/Christy/Willard/McQueeg/Jeb, just go and form their OWN political Party?

They need to stop polluting ours.

Am a life long Republican:

Will NOT vote for :

Huckabee
Christie
Rubio
Jeb Bush
Paul Ryan—he has really disappointed me on immigration.
Romney—he tried & failed

I will only vote for a person who has already been a Governor & knows about budgets, etc.

Rick Perry & Joe Arpaio would be a great ticket for me.
