Oh, come on! Huckabee to the left of Obama? That is pure idiocy.
As far as Palin hurting herself by resigning as governor, no amount of arguing is going to change your mind for it is too tightly closed.
It's not my mind you have to change, if she's the nominee I am voting for her, it's the independents we have to also bring over in order to win, which I'm afraid she already lost forever.
Plus it's clear being that her supporters can only resort to 3rd grade name calling against other Conservatives (Living in my Parents Basement LOL!!) who have reservations about her that there are no intellectually arguments for her nomination.
