Apparently this “Mike” makes “Mike” Dukakis look tough on crime.

[Brilliant]

Hackabee says that he’s very familiar with the Clinton Political Machine, but I think it works both ways. Clinton is very familiar with Huckabee’s weaknesses.

Right... so was Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and a host of others for other offices accdg to the Dems.

Gov. Gomer would get beaten like a drum by the “Bitch”

Huck definitely has a “Willie Horton” problem. Plus, he stinks on immigration and taxes. Nobody is going to be elected President of the United States in 2008 if they stink on immigration and taxes, no matter what the RATs in the media do.

Bluff!!

Democrats are frightened of Huckabee.

He’s got teflon. The more he’s attacked, the more people like him.

Attacking is all Democrats do.

They’re toast, if Huckabee gets the nod.

The only Republicans who get really good coverage from the national media are: Giuliani, Ron Paul, Huckabee, and John McCain.

Romney has been in the middle -- he gets plenty of coverage, but they rarely gush over him.

I maintain that the media sees these particular candidates as easy to torpedo when the time is right. They all have problems that can be exploited. I further believe that Romney's coverage was most favorable when his Mormon faith was seen as a big problem. Now that this may be less of a problem, his media coverage will be less kind.

So is conservatism.

Huckabee won Arkansas where was ample opportunity for ganster politics to impune his character.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Nah. Don’t be so pessimistic.

I know after being called “vigilantes” and “nativists” by our current disaster, it’s easy to assume anyone who’s not Duncan Hunter is out to demolish American sovereignity, and sell us down the river. That’s just not the case.

Vice President Chuck Norris, will preside over a new American conservative renaissance, starting in 2016... :)

I knew Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was a friend of mine. And Mike Huckabee is no Ronald Reagan!

[KC_Conspirator]

Thats a joke. The dems are not cringing in the least, they are laughing at us.

[cripplecreek]

The Hucksteroid will be a disaster.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I don’t think so.

I believe, Huckabee worries them.

Rightly so.

[engrpat]

Huck wins the democrats win. In this case the democrats see a true win/win situation. No wonder they want him to run.

[OB1kNOb]

Huckster Ping.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

If democrats wanted Huckabee to run, why in the world would they actually, say so?

[theDentist]

Never claimed he was. Didn't claim he was Nixon either.
Only claiming that the Dems tend to underestimate their opposition.

[rob777]

Huckabee’s record on taxing and spending makes Bush look frugal. He represents “Compassionate Conservatism” on steroids. After eight years of this redefinition of conservatism to make it compatible with big government, I am looking for someone to change course not accelerate it. I rate Huckabee dead last in my choice for the GOP nomination.
